Welcome!

Welcome, Gbezy8!

---

I'm Riley Huntley, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,883,935 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-

• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off
• Policies, guidelines, and rules
• How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
• Who, what, why?
• A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial

• Writing well
• Learn from others
• Play nicely with others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
• Tell us about yourself
• Be inspired by our finest!

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions 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 know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. 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, -- Cheers, Riley 00:31, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Topic ideas

Aerosol spray isn't a stub. Were you thinking of creating a new article for super-hydrophobic spray? Is this the same as "superhydrophobic coating" - could be a great addition to Wikipedia. Michelev (talk) 17:11, 26 March 2013 (UTC) Yes I was thinking of making this into a new Article. Myself and Ethan stumbled upon it while looking for interesting topics, and notices this was not in Wikipedia so, why not? would this still b a eligible topic to use for

Yes!

Add three sources from third-party, reputable publications. Science Direct or ABI/Inform would be a good place to start.Michelev (talk) 22:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
