Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Yanksox (talk) 04:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
LOL!
editI wasn't saying you were biting newbies, I was welcoming you. Sorry for the confusion. :P Yanksox (talk) 04:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yanksox has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
I hope everything is going fine! Yanksox (talk) 06:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Pingry School
editSchools account for about 20% of my watchlist, but account for a majority of the vandalism. I've been reverting vandalism to Pingry School as soon as I spot it, and we need to do a better job of warning (and blocking, if needed) those who are maliciously changing the article.
