Hello Link702, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.

If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.

I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.

Once again, welcome! James Kendall [talk] 15:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hey fellow Wikipedian. I noticed you were a newcomer, so I thought I would give you a couple of tips.

Always use correct grammar in Wikipedia articles. This includes simple conventional errors, like forgetting a comma, not capitalizing something, anything.
Always use correct spelling in Wikipedia articles. This includes very simple things suck as typos. They are easily fixed, and sometimes, people will do that for you, but correct errors that you know about.
Learn Wiki Markup. It is pretty much a slightly simpler version of HTML. If you need help with this, check out the How to edit a page article to check out the Wiki Markup.
Always Wikify. Wikifing is pretty much making sure you have simple links to pages that may be articles, making sure that the reader knows what a person is talking about. If you don't know how to create a link to another Wikipedia article, use [[]] to put a link. Like, for example, I'll make a link to The Beatles, using these simple brackets. What I would type would be [[The Beatles]]. The _ is automatically filled in the space. Here would be the link. The Beatles But their are more complicated links, but you can check that out in the How to edit a page article.
Always have creditable facts. Make sure that your information is creditable, otherwise, people can say the information is incorrect, and in some cases, you can get that article deleted.
And lastly, be bold. Its a pretty common statement used when they talk about editing pages. Just be bold and edit at your pleasure. But make sure that the information you add is creditable, and people know what you are talking about. And if you have to, research your topic before writing an article. Its like a research paper. Check out the stuff before you go in and start writing.
