[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Welcome to the Wikipedia, Zaphodthewise! And thanks for weighing in on the Donald Rumsfeld article...

Here are some perfunctory tips to speed your indoctrination into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial.
• When it strikes your fancy, try to grasp some of the nuances at Manual of Style, Assume good faith and Policies and Guidelines. But keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Don't worry about keeping up with the Jones' learning curve on NPOV, but be respectful of others' POV and use a neutral point of view; your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends:

• 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

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

Best of luck, Zaphodthewise, and have fun! Ombudsman 21:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
