Welcome new user
[edit]Hello, User:ElizabethAGWilson, I see you've opened an account and have begun to make edits to the encyclopaedia. You are most welcome and thank you for the constructive comment you have made .
I'm Lumos3, one of the numerous editors here. I voluntarily work as a welcomer to newcomers.
Wikipedia encourages new members to jump in and make corrections and contributions to articles themselves. I'm posting below a standard welcome box with lots of useful links. I hope you get pleasure from editing and making Wikipedia an even better resource for the community.
I found the Be bold guideline particularly encouraging when I was getting started. I also found the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet a useful quick reference for editing the source text but our new VisualEditor makes editing much easier (This needs to be turned on in your user preferences under beta features).
I myself have come to the conclusion that editing or watching a topic is a great way to learn about it in depth and stay on top of current developments in a field. If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page here :- User_talk:Lumos3.
Happy editing, I hope you continue to develop and improve our encyclopedia.
