Welcome to Wikipedia

Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.

• Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
• Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
• The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?

just FYI in case you are not watching my Talk page - I responded to your comments there. Jytdog (talk) 14:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Was hoping for a conversation... Jytdog (talk) 20:51, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Which I guess is not going to happen. Pretty bad form to start a conversation and then walk away, but it's a free wiki.Jytdog (talk) 01:31, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Jytdog, I just have little understanding of the workings of the deeper layers of Wikipedia. I haven't, even after a decade, taken the time to learn the entire programming language. That's too time consuming. If I need to redesign a page, I do research on well-designed similar pages. So actually, I don't even know how to find the conversation you're talking about, but I would love to continue it if you can reconnect me?

the lovely note you left for me was archived and is now here, as is my response: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jytdog/Archive_1#Editing_of_Genetically_Modified_Organisms_page Jytdog (talk) 10:39, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
