Motto of the day... “ Wherever you go...   there you are. ” Nominate one! Tip of the day... Stop by the Reference Desk The Wikipedia reference desk works like a library reference desk. Ask a question here and Wikipedia volunteers will try to answer it. Do you have a difficult question? Or, would you like to take a break from editing and perhaps share your knowledge with others who have questions? If so, then take a trip to the Reference Desk to ask or answer the tough questions. If you're doing research and need to know where to find a particular piece of information, or just want the answer to a trivia question, try Wikipedia:Reference desk. Note: Legal or medical advice is prohibited. New editors may find the New contributors' help page a valuable resource. If you need general help with creating and editing articles on Wikipedia, try Wikipedia:Questions or at the Help desk.
