Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there, Loserbait! I'm glad you decided to register a new account here on Wikipedia. We're always looking for new editors to help improve the project, because believe me, there's always something to be done! Wikipedia often seems very large to newcomers (it did to me, at least), so I've put together this little guide to help you get started. I hope this helps, and as always, happy editing!

Some Quick Tips

  • Don't be afraid to make mistakes - Be Bold! That's how things get done, and there is always someone around to help you out if you need it.
  • Remember to sign your posts on talk pages, like this one. You can click this button on your editing toolbar, or just type in four tildes (~~~~) That way, people know who they're talking to and who to go to if they have a question for you.
  • Take some time to read a few of the help files, especially if you're new to Wikimarkup. Knowing the basics can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. I've provided some of these pages, as well as some common policies, at right.
  • If you ever have a question, there are plenty of places to ask! You can come talk to me, add the code {{helpme|your question}} to your talk page here, post a question on the talk page of the article you have a question about, or post something on the Help Desk or Reference Desk.
  • Check out the ways to get involved below - each of these suggestions are good ways for a new editor to get involved in the Wikipedia project.
  • Most importantly, get out there and edit! Thanks again for signing on!

Important Links to Remember

Some things you can get started with:

Articles needing cleanup ↔↔ Fighting vandalism ↔↔ Join a "Wikiproject" ↔↔ Adopt-a-User ↔↔ Starting your first article ↔↔ The Community Tasklist


Here are some links that should help you out, in addition to those above.

Good luck with your article! Feel free to let me know if you need any help, or come back to the help channel on IRC. Happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 04:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: IRC

[edit]

Well, apparently, my IRC client spontaneously and stubbornly decided it's not going to connect to the internet anymore. As I was saying, I'm going to have to mess around with the page somewhat (as well as your user subpage I created) in order to merge the histories together, which has to be done. This will only be temporary and you should be able to get back to editing shortly. If it isn't temporary, assume the rest of my internet died as well, and in which case call in another admin by typing !admin in the help channel to finish the job.

And it's done. Anyway, again, let me know if you need any further help with things - hopefully my IRC will be working again tomorrow, so if you're online then, I'll check up on things. Happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 05:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
