Some Quick Tips

• Don't be afraid to make mistakes - Be Bold! That's how things get done, and there is always someone around to help you out if you need it.
• Remember to sign your posts on talk pages, like this one. You can click this button on your editing toolbar, or just type in four tildes (~~~~) That way, people know who they're talking to and who to go to if they have a question for you.
• Take some time to read a few of the help files, especially if you're new to Wikimarkup. Knowing the basics can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. I've provided some of these pages, as well as some common policies, at right.
• If you ever have a question, there are plenty of places to ask! You can add the code {{helpme|your question}} to your talk page here, post a question on the talk page of the article you have a question about, or post something on the Help Desk or Reference Desk.
• Check out the ways to get involved below - each of these suggestions are good ways for a new editor to get involved in the Wikipedia project.
• Most importantly, get out there and edit! Thanks again for signing on!
