Some of the links above will help you learn how to edit. I agree that some of the instructions are more convoluted than necessary. On behalf of the Wikipedia community, I apologize. For a quick summary of useful tools, Wikipedia:Cheat sheet may help.

If you wish to change your username, the simplest thing to do is register a new username and stop using this one. If you want your existing edits to carry over to your new userpage, you should request a name change here and wait a few days for someone to do it for you.

If you need any more help, please click on the blue word "Hello" and ask. Shalom ^Hello 18:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
