Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style and cheatsheet. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.
Additional tips
[edit]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 (~), which will look like this: Mr.Bob.298 (talk) 04:23, 25 October 2015 (UTC). Signing your name with three tildes (Mr.Bob.298 (talk)) will remove the timestamp, so I recommend using four.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. There is also a articles for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your Wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- Feel free to join a WikiProject or two. A WikiProject is, basically, a group of Wikipedians who work together to improve coverage on a specific topic area (e.g., WikiProject Greece or WikiProject Mammals). Join WikiProjects on topics you are interested in (if you are interested in warfare of the Middle Ages, you may consider joining [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military History|WikiProject Military History).
- Customize your user page with userboxes.
- And if you want to welcome people to Wikipedia just like I did to you, you can join the welcoming committee.
