[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

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!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• 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:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

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.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] What does your name mean??

To make sure you know this, octo- is the Latin numerical prefix for 8. In the octo- article are several words with this prefix. What does it suggest in your user name?? Does it mean that you own a group of 8 ferrets?? Georgia guy 01:58, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It's just a combination of octopus and ferret that someone playing an online game with me made up upon seeing a picture in the game that he first thought was an octopus, then thought was a ferret. I don't know how he confused the two. Octoferret 06:47, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

                Yours.

Yep. It's the only area where I know enough to add anything to Wikipedia, anyway. Octoferret 06:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
