Welcome to the Wikipedia community, Somatsewell!
Here are some of the perfunctory useful tips (mostly borrowed from ClockworkSoul), to speed your induction into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial.
- When you have free time, try to grasp some of the nuances at Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. But keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Don't worry about keeping up with the Jones' learning curve on NPOV, but be respectful of others' POV and use a neutral point of view; your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is valuable!
- If you need any help, don't hesitate to post a question at the Help Desk.
- Explore, and be bold in editing pages while respecting the merits of others' contributions!
And some odds and ends:
- Wikipedia:Policy Library
- Wikipedia:Utilities
- Wikipedia:Cite your sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette
- Wikipedia:Civility
- Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
- Wikipedia:Peer review
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
- Wikipedia:Village pump
- Wikipedia:Boilerplate text
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and please, do have fun! Ombudsman 18:50, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
