Greetings
Foodman,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page or how to format them visit our manual of style. Experiment at The Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help and Wikipedia:FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump or The Reference Desk. Wikipedia:Utilities is also very useful.
P.S.
One little tip: Use the ~ (tilde) feature to sign your name to talk pages. If you type ~~~ (three tilde), it will translate to [[User:username|nickname]] when you save the page. If you type ~~~~ (four tilde), it will translate to [[User:username|nickname]] Date when you save the page.
Also, Don't forget to edit your User Preferences to enhance your experience
Good luck,
