Number301
Welcome!
editHi there, Number301, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.
If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:
Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:
- If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~~~~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page
- The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
- You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.
There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 18:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC) (UTC)
