[edit] About me

My username is MrFirewall and I became a member of Wikipedia on 16 January 2007. I've known Wiki since I found references for my presentation at school a long time ago but I never think of the idea someday I would be one of the people who writes the article, not merely the one who just use it as reference. In fact, I get influenced by my close friend whose username is PeaceNT, a crazy fan of Wiki, which sometimes make me unbearable.

[edit] Difficult when joining Wikipedia

I've tried editing some articles but then I have problems familiarizing with strange terms on Wiki and I find myself totally ignorant of Wiki's rules and policy. I decided to spend one month grasping all the materials given from useful links in the welcome template and it struck me that Wikipedia is a real "society" and every editor must comply with its own tack. Although I'm a newcomer but I pride myself on taking a firm hold of rules so you shouldn't daze if I can quote every policy in the discussion like an experienced editor.

[edit] Wiki's common places

Getting from my friend's experience, I've recently known about some common places where we can find help from other editors and facilitate collaboration:

  • WP:HD: help desk
  • WP:RFC: request for comment
  • WP:AFD: articles for deletion
  • WP:MFD: miscellany for deletion
  • WP:CFD: category for discussion
  • WP:UCFD: user category for discussion
  • WP:RFD: redirects for discussion
