Welcome!

Hi, BoxingHoyle, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read the simplified ruleset. There are thousands of ways to get help on Wikipedia. I personally recommend the Wikipedia:Boot Camp, where in addition to standard posts, you can use an IRC to chat online with fellow Wikipedians willing to help! In addition, Wikipedia also has pages dedicated to the use of Wikipedia, for example, if you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting pages visit the manual of style. Feel free to post questions on [[User talk:{{{2}}}|my talk page]] - I'm happy to help you with anything you need.

Help

Remember, the links above are always good, but if you still need help, try these:

Wikipedia:Help - ask for general help in editing Wikipedia here
Village Pump - here you can post technical questions about Wikipedia's operation
Reference Desk - where you can get help locating articles or factual information
Tutorial - a nice tutorial for beginners
Policy Library - a overview of Wikipedia Policies
Wikipedia:Cheatsheet - a great way to remember the Wikipedia language.

Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using four tildes (~). If your keyboard doesn't have tildes (or for whatever reason) you can also click the button on the bar above the editing section.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.

Good luck. Daniel()Folsom ^T|_C|^U 01:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I'm not a disruptive sock whatever that may be. I'm just highlighting article problems. I only want to help, not hinder this project.

Decline reason:

Well, you aren't helping. -- Yamla 04:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
