I have spent about an hour --> trying to figure out how to participate -meaningfully- in Wikipedia. I suggest that the W. staff show their site to some test volunteers and watch them to see all the places they get frustrated. Then the introductory material should be massively revamped.


Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you.
