Welcome to Wiki!

Hello Hotstuff29, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
• Experiment in the sandbox.
• Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
• Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
• Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
• Be bold in updating pages.
• Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
• And most importantly, have fun!

One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.
