[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, Dascott!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Utilities
- Wikipedia:Cite your sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette
- Wikipedia:Civility
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] Formatting
I've only been on Wikipedia for 1 month, and in fact only figured out that "Listening" was a subheading of "External links" yesterday! I wish the Schickele article focused more on Schickele's "serious" music. I am strongly of the opinion that he is one of the USA's finest composers, synthesizing classical and vernacular musics like jazz, blues, bluegrass, minimalist music, etc. into a very convincing whole. But he's just not appreciated for this as much as he should be; his PDQ Bach stuff undermines his best work (although I like all of it). Badagnani 19:14, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
I highly recommend checking out his "Quartet" for violin, clarinet, cello, and piano. I guess he wrote it for these instruments because it's for the same instrumentation as Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time." So it is often paired with that great work. He has another piece called "Serenade for Six," which is for the "Trout Quintet" instrumentation plus bassoon that is also incredible. Badagnani 19:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 15:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Xena episodes category?
Hi Doug,
Is there currently a category for Xena episodes? The Bitter Suite, for example, is uncategorized. Thanks, Andjam 13:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
