Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:09, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi there. I saw your comment over at Articles for Deletion (AfD). Welcome to Wikipedia and if there are any questions that you have about editing technique or site culture, do not hesitate to ask me. Just click the TALK link and leave a message for me on my Talk Page. best regards, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Carrite, thanks for the welcome. I'm just curious, which AfD comment did you see? And was it appropriate? Just trying to get some feedback since I'm new. Thanks! Abroham1024 (talk) 12:38, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

The one about the Former Members of Congress Association, or whatever it is called. If you're going to be a content writer at WP, I strongly encourage you to keep doing what you're doing by looking at things at AfD. It is an excellent way to learn (1) what you will need to do in terms of sourcing to avoid ever having to go to AfD with one of your pieces; (2) what bad articles look like; (3) that people are imperfect and sometimes bring perfectly good articles up for deletion at AfD; (4) how to "Assume Good Faith" with other people, even those you disagree with; and (5) that Wikipedia really does have a consistent, rules-based system for determining what is kept or removed — and that the same rules that cause deletion of some pieces are there to protect your work if you learn them and stay within them.

That's a lot of stuff to learn by spending just five minutes or half an hour a day looking at the AfD queue and commenting on a few, eh? Some debates are better than others, but in general it is an excellent educational experience and it remains the main way that I volunteer my time when I'm not actually writing. Best, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 15:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

That is great advice, and exactly why I decided to start out there. It has so far really taught me about common Wiki policies and other tid-bits. Again, thanks for the welcome! Abroham1024 (talk) 15:58, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

AfD for Florida Gators Football Ring of Honor

Hey, Abroham. Can I get you to add a bolded Merge to your recent comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gator Football Ring of Honor? It would help get this AfD closed. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing, just did it! Abroham1024 (talk) 13:28, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
