Help me

Hello!

I'm Mator, a new user here at Wikipedia but a veteran user at other wikis. I have a basic knowledge of templates, a good sense of encyclopedia format, and a substantial background in wikis (I created and I am still the main contributor to The Halo Stunting Wiki, which I will admit needs major improvement.) I signed up here at wikipedia today for a few reasons:

1. I want to be established at wikipedia because it is the wiki to top all wikis, and I realize that in being active here I can learn many things to improve my abilities at other wikis.
2. I want to be able to ask questions to extremely experienced wikipedians in the situations in which I require assistance.
3. I want to be able to contribute to wikipedia in certain areas where I have applicable experience.

On these points you can assist me by pointing me in a direction in which my contributions would be worthwhile and by giving me the basic run-down on how I should go about contributing to wikipedia and conversing with other wikipedians. I hope I have not established myself as lazy/inadequate in not searching more than I already have (the last 15 minutes) to find such information. Indeed, perhaps an established "start page" for new users with all of such information easily accessible and provisioned for may be a proposal for the future (if it does not already exist). Beyond this I have one final request: who should I contact for help with a minor infobox issue on a wiki other than wikipedia and how would I do so in a kind and respectful manner? If you could answer this I would be much obliged. Finally, I hope I have not been at all rude or inconsiderate in this first post - I have done my best to appear as unassuming as I can.

Thanks in advance, Matortheeternal (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome! The welcome message below should answer some of your questions - if you want to know any more, drop a note on my talk page. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 19:39, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Tivedshambo. I am already familiar with most of this stuff as it is pretty basic, however, I am sure it will be of great use to me as there will certainly be things which I am not familiar with. Thanks again, Matortheeternal (talk) 19:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I think the only other advice I can give you is be bold, have fun and good luck! —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 19:57, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

What are the four general rules at Wikipedia?

The four general rules are to respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and to ignore a rule if it prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia.

How do I edit a page?

1. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page that you want to edit.
2. Make your changes in the edit window.
3. Preview your changes by clicking the 'Show preview' button.
4. Click the 'Save page' button.

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page for more detailed information.

Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

Please use the Article Wizard to create one, then add references to the article as explained below.

What are references, sources, and citations all about?

All claims must be supported by a book, website, or news organization independent of the subject of the article. The source must be reliable, meaning it cannot be a blog, MySpace page, or personal website. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prove that an inaccurate statement is true, and that it should stay in the article. The policy regarding this states that the statement has to be verifiable, not necessarily true. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information.

How do I insert a reference into an article?

For inline references:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' in the Wikipedia article, and insert a claim into that article stating a fact about the subject. Don't click the save button just yet.
3. In the search you did in step 1, find a website that supports the claim you made in step 2. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
4. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
6. In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
7. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

For references put at the end of an article:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. In the search, find a website that supports the claims made in the article. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
3. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
4. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
5. Go to the Wikipedia article. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Then, add this after the {{Reflist}}, in a new line:

{{Refbegin}}
*Press paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) after this asterisk, then remove the <ref></ref> tags

{{Refend}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

How do I format text on Wikipedia?
