[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Cdngirl31: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

• Wikipedia:Introduction
• Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Frequently Asked Questions
  • How do you edit a page?
  • How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
  • What about copyrights?
• Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!   -AbJ32 (talk) 02:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and Welcome

If you need any help just leave a message on my talk page and I’ll get back to you as soon as. I’m pretty new here myself (3 months – 1000 edits) but I think the first thing you should do is to join with a wiki-project that’ll let you do some small edits or small jobs (preferably one of your hobbies or a subject that you’re interested in.) A list of it can be found here WP:PROJDIR or here at Category:WikiProjects. When you’re ready to write your first article - Cdngirl31 I see you’ve already done that on Eric Bradbury you will need to refer to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and/or Wikipedia:Your first article – which will help you from getting a Speedy Deletion tag smacked onto your article. (An admin or me as your adopter will also be able to help you any time.) Take a look at any of the Featured articles on the Main page to get an idea on how to write an article. I’m not really an expert on wiki-markup see here for details: Wikipedia:How to edit a page but I’ll be able to help if needed. As for fancy user pages and signatures – I’ll also be able to help but as you can see from my user page it’s very modest. My advice is to copy the user page of an experienced editor and then change the colours and names/ pictures etc, etc to your own ones. The very best can be found here: Wikipedia:User Page Design Center/User page examples I’ll help out on your first article Cdngirl31 (you should too) and I’ll see what I can do. It’s got heaps of good info – it’s a good article don’t get me wrong but I think it needs some citation in the article itself. If you need any help message me.

[edit] Notice

I removed the {{adoptme}} template from your userpage as you have already been adopted, to avoid confusion. VivioFateFan ^{(Talk, Sandbox)} 02:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] De-categorized your talk page

Hello. Your talk page was listed in Category:WikiProjects because of the link in the #Thanks and Welcome, so I adapted that link. -- StevenDH (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
