A few features that you may find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, outreach, and other tasks.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
- Read our current newsletter, and sign up for (or opt out) of future issues.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any experienced member of the project; we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! MeegsC (talk) 02:15, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
