Dunno what to write here
Welcome!
Please join us for the next Wikipedia:Bootcamp every night at midnight EST (2100 PST, 0500 UTC) to learn the ropes, or leave a message on our talk pages around that time for on-wiki help.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, Gurry! I hope you like the place and decide to keep contributing. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- How to write a great article
- What Wikipedia is not
- Wikiquette
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question at the village pump or feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
One more quick tip: to sign your name on a Talk page like I did below, the easiest way is just to type four tildes (~~~~). To customize your signature, look here.
And remember:Be Bold!
Deleting articles
editI noticed you wanted to delete the page Muddy Water. I actually replaced the page with a redirect to Muddy Waters, but, in future, you can either tag obvious nonsense with the {{delete}} tag, which asks admins to come and delete the page, or, if the page is not obvious garbage but you think it doesn't belong on Wikipedia, you can tag it {{vfd}} and list it on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion.
