Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• 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

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

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

Best of luck, and have fun!

Thanks for welcoming me. I have fallen in love with Wiki, and hope I don't do anything stupid. But I trust that you and many other people are waiting to attack any mistakes I make. Pookleblinky 08:05, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Not at all! With the exception of a few rough personalities, the large majority of Wikipedians are more than patient, especially with newcomers. :) Once again, welcome, and don't be afraid to be bold! -- [[User:ClockworkSoul|User:ClockworkSoul/sig]] 08:11, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

LOL! Cute edit regarding the trivial entries. Unfortunately, it's a nonsense listing and a speedy delete candidate. Thanks for the laugh! - Lucky 6.9 23:13, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome, Pookleblinky! I'm responding to your comments that you posted on Wikipedia:Clueless newbies. My advice is to be bold! While I'm not encouraging just writing random junk, if you think an article can be improved, do it! If you write something incorrect by accident, don't worry about it- most likely another Wikipedian will correct it soon. Just enjoy your time at Wikipedia! Once again, welcome and have fun!
