Welcome

Hi, Alarichus. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Alarichus/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Snorri Thorfinnsson

I've given the article a brief clean- it could do with some more categories, and especially some more details about his life. What did he do in life? When/how did he die? I've upgraded it to start class, but some more information about his life would be needed before it could be considered a C class or B class. For instance, it's not really clear what makes him a significant figure. You're welcome to contact me on my talk page or rejoin the help channel if you need any more help.
