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:Rompecabezas/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!

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Plip!

Hmm, seems rather unsporty-like sportsmanship to whack a newcomer without explanation or identification! To learn is a noble ambition... to be whacked blindly with no direction for correcting one's misdeeds is to stumble about in the darkness... Am I missing something here?

I've fixed the above link, to make it point to a place in your user area.

Originally, you'd put [[/Flaming Gorge Regional Watershed Supply Project]] - if you had created that, it would have created an article in mainspace (the 'live' area) called /Flaming Gorge Regional Watershed Supply Project - and the article would have been swiftly deleted.

Instead, you need to put [[User:Rompecabezas/Flaming Gorge Regional Watershed Supply Project]], which is what I've changed it to.

For help at any time, click here to talk to us live.

Please feel free to remove this message, as soon as you've 'got it'.

Mediation[edit]

Hi! Thankyou very much for your interest! But to be honest I'm new at this myself, and I wouldn't have a clue how to formally open a mediation. I can look into it I guess, but I think maybe you should seek the guidance of an experienced mediator because I don't think I'd be able to be much help... I requested mediation on this thing months ago and you're the first to respond, so I'm definitely glad to hear someone's into helping out!!! PhilKnight (talk · contribs) and Xavexgoem (talk · contribs) are the two to contact in regards to the technics behind mediation. Give me a heads-up when you're ready to go and thanks again!!!
