Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome to the Wikipedia, Kristiwachter! And thanks for weighing in on the Lisa McPherson page...

Here are some of the perfunctory useful tips (mostly borrowed from ClockworkSoul), to speed your indoctrination into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial.
• When you have free time, try to grasp some of the nuances at Manual of Style, Assume good faith and Policies and Guidelines. But keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Don't worry about keeping up with the Jones' learning curve on NPOV, but be respectful of others' POV and use a neutral point of view; your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, above all else, do have fun!

And some odds and ends:

• Wikipedia:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Kristiwachter, and have fun! Ombudsman 09:49, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi!

Nice to see the old gang reuniting. Modemac's on here somewhere as well! :-) -- ChrisO 28 June 2005 21:56 (UTC)

WikiProject updates

• I have done some updating to the WP:SCN, added some new articles, added a "to do" list to the top of the project, and fixed up some categories and assessment stuff. I suggest we should all pick one article at a time, or at most two, to work on bringing up to Featured Article status. You could give input on the project's talk page...
  • Also, a Userbox for project members, {{User Scientology project}}
    • Yours, Smee 23:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
