Hello, Sflikens. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

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   Help design new templates

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.

First steps

Congrats on editing your user page. I had a nice chuckle when I read the "Death" section. :D I must have confused you with the instructions. You can write your intro on your user page in freestyle. But I know you've already got the organization skills down for the main article you're going to be writing!! The enrollment should be easy for you to complete.  Partly done Crtew (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! I feel a little silly now! Definitely had a good laugh at myself! I've made the proper adjustments! Sflikens (talk) 19:50, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

The next step is picking out an area or a country I would like to explore. I would like to explore Israel, more specifically Jerusalem. Sflikens (talk) 20:27, 17 January 2014 (UTC)  

You have been assigned to improve upon the stub article of Associated Press camera operator Nazeh Darwazi, who was shot and killed in Nablus, West Bank, while he reporting on the Second Intifada in the occupied territory in Israel. While you write this work in User:Sflikens/Nazeh_Darwazi and we will discuss moving sections to the main article as you improve it. Crtew (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
