Hello, Jawade2. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Formatting

Hi Jawade2, I saw the formating issue on your user page and fixed it by moving the text after your section head to the next line. It just needed two taps on the old "enter" key! Crtew (talk) 02:51, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

The formatting in the editor works just like Word or other editors with B for bold and I for italics. If you click on Advanced you'll get another ribbon to add a list (bulleted, numbered, etc. Go ahead and experiment. Also try putting double brackets before and after Football and I bet you'll get a link to that article! Good luck, Crtew (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

First steps

Off to a good start. I'm so glad that you took the course as an elective. Keep working on your user page. I added some pointers there about formatting and creating links. Are you a Indianapolis Colts fan? As you see, our team has its own article in Wikipedia! Oh and don't forget to enroll in the course. Crtew (talk) 03:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Now I see it! Crtew (talk) 18:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)  Done

P.S. Too bad our Colts lost. On the bright side, there is always another season in the future. Crtew (talk) 18:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
