There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Success!

[edit]

Glkinswa, You passed with flying colors! You did everything I wanted. You created an account, you edited your page with an introduction to the community, you experimented with lists and wikilinks. Good work! Crtew (talk) 03:01, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Teahouse logo
Hello! Glkinswa, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!
I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 16:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment

[edit]

I assign you Norberto Miranda Madrid (a.k.a., “El Gallito” which translates as "The Tough Guy") of Mexico.

Progress at this point

[edit]

By now you should have ...

1. Moved the material on your user page about your journalist under the "Adopt a Journalist" section to your user account page. Copy that material, click on the red link, and paste the material on that page!

2. Run your reflinks tool in the banner (by right clicking and creating a new tab). It might take a minute to complete the operation -- be patient. You will copy over the results from the tool tab you create to replace the existing ref tags in your article.

3. Taken the Wikipedia tutorial. After you do, begin writing your article.Crtew (talk) 19:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!

[edit]

Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
