You can sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, — riana_dzasta wreak havoc|damage report 11:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Glad you liked it :) Don't worry, most of the tricks are quite easy to pick up. Make sure you do more editing articles than creating fancy userpages, though ;) Please keep in touch; if you need a hand with anything at all, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page.
