Welcome! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! My username is Liquidluck. I noticed you recently joined, so I thought I'd say hi and drop off some links that helped me when I was new.

  • First off, the new contributor's help page is an excellent place to ask any and all questions related to editing.
  • The sandbox is a place where you can make test edits.
  • The Wikipedia tutorial is an eight-step tutorial that explains the basics of editing.
  • The glossary is useful for looking up terms used by regular Wikipedia editors.
  • The Five pillars of Wikipedia page describes the basic rules of Wikipedia.
  • The Help:Contents page links to just about every help page.
  • Whenever you leave a message on a talk page, sign your name by typing ~~~~ so that other users can contact you. If you want to contact other editors, click the second half of their signature. For example, my signature is Liquidlucktalk; click the "talk" to leave me a message.

If you are thinking about creating an article, I highly recommend you create a userspace draft first and then ask for advice at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback. This will help you avoid having an article deleted. The Article Wizard will also help you determine if your article is appropriate for Wikipedia.

I hope these links are useful and that you enjoy being a Wikipedia editor. Again, ask any questions at the new contributor's help page and welcome! Liquidlucktalk 01:55, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
