Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (206.53.88.85) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! ~riley (talk) 22:23, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@~riley:Thanks for the welcome! Perhaps you can give me some advice... I edited for about a year a few years back under a username, but I was hoping to re-register under a different name and continue editing now. At the time I was sortof just getting my first introduction to communicating online and editing alot of political articles, and definitely made some mistakes and got burned out. Coming back I'm mostly interested in gnome type activities and perhaps making a project of editing articles pertaining to reef corals and related, as I have been working at a coral laboratory and farm for the past few years. What are your thoughts? (edit) I also see you are active with DYK which is something I had considered getting into before I burned out last time, maybe that's something I could get involved in this time around.206.53.88.85 (talk) 02:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
