Welcome to my user page edit

Hello. I am a Wikipedia user, and interested in adding new material and editing existing material. Been registered for a few years now. This is my user page. I find Wikipedia incredibly useful and after some years of using it and seeing it grow, I got inspired to join the many others who are contributing to it. As I am new to this, I am keeping personal information to the bare minimum until I learn my way around. I like the name DonToto so I am keeping it.

[20 March 2016] Well it's been a few years since I wrote the note above. I still like keeping a low profile. I have come to one conclusion so far - some people have an axe to grind. You can tell by some of the edits that get reverted. (:>)

List building

There are three basic steps to building a topic list for Wikipedia: the first is to search Wikipedia to make sure it doesn't already have a list on the subject. The second step is to hunt down every word you can find on the subject, from your own memory, books, web directories, dictionaries, etc. Surround each term with double square brackets, and save the page.

Because Wikipedia has become so extensive, don't be surprised if most or even all of the links turn out blue (those are live links, each leading to an article on Wikipedia). Dead-end links are red, but don't remove them, because they show what articles Wikipedia is missing — anyone can click on a red link to create an article on that topic. The third step is checking each live article in the list for links to related topics. When you find one, add it to the list.
