There is Wikipedia:Introduction, which links to many of the important pages for beginners to read, and leads ultimately to a tutorial. Try starting there. And if you are confused about anything in particular, you can ask me on my talk page: (User talk:A. Parrot). I'm not normally the social, volunteer-ish type, but I don't want to see potential editors turned away because they find the rules daunting.

Thank you! I'm not the volunteer type either, so I appreciate it. Wikipedia:Introduction looks pretty thorough, not sure how I missed that.Saladstorm (talk) 21:23, 2 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
