User talk:Ijon-Tichy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Ijon-Tichy! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 11:13, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
- In fact I've been a registered user for quite a long time - it is just recently that I made my "personal page". As for the Wiki syntax, it is no mystery to me either as I'm an active user on the Polish Wikipedia. :) But thanks for the links; if I have any questions, I'll turn to you first then. ;) And I *do* enjoy contributing to Wikipedia as it is a great, great idea!
