Hello, Richard-artist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Here are some pages that will help you to find your way around, understand some of the most relevant policies and guidelines, and develop your editing skills:
Basics Glossary of Wikipedia terminology The five pillars of Wikipedia Contributing to Wikipedia How to edit a page Learn from others Wikipedia Tutorial Q&A Frequently Asked Questions Why was my page deleted? Where to ask a question Department directory Copyright FAQ Editor's Index Village pump	Community Administrators' noticeboard How to use talk pages Resolving disputes Community Portal Maintenance WikiProjects Civility Articles Cite your sources with footnotes How to develop an article Starting a new page Naming conventions Using categories Manual of Style	Policies and Guidelines Notability and Verifiability "Ownership" of articles What Wikipedia is not User page guidelines Neutral Point of View No original research Copyright violations Deletion policy External links Images Uploading images Image use policy Copyright tags Upload wizard
A few other useful tips: Please sign your name when you comment on talk pages (not articles) by using four tildes (~~~~), which will show your name and the date. When you edit a page, even minor edits, you should include a descriptive edit summary. If you need help, Drop by the Help Desk or the New Contributors' Help page. Another option is to join the adopt-a-user project. You can also add {{helpme}} to your talk page, followed by your question, or ask me on my talk page and I can try to help, or point you to someone who can. Happy Editing!- Ariel♥Gold 13:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
