[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• 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

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] Problem

Posted on user_talk:ClockworkSoul

Firstly, thank you for your kind welcome, and I have a problem. English is not my first language, and so my grammar and lexicon may be a bit wrong. I recently made an article about "De Vulgari Eloquentia" in the English wikipedia, but I don't know if it is correct in the language aspect. I would appreciate an opinion, if it is no bother. Tanks again. Shert 13:23, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Hello, Shert. :) I've read over your work, which is very impressive of a recent newcomer such as yourself, especially one whose first language is not English! I made some minor corrections in grammar and style, such as capitalizations and replacing the Italian names of the saints with the English names. If you have time, please take a look at what I did and make sure that I didn't inadvertantly change the intent of any of your writings. Great work! -- [[User:ClockworkSoul|User:ClockworkSoul/sig]] 13:46, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] thank you

I really appreciated your help! I'll pay more attention to my style and grammar in the future, as to avoid mistakes, and I'll check for the names in the English Wikipedia. I read the article one more time, as you asked, and I found your corrections appropriate. Thanks. Shert 14:20, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] De vulgari eloquentia

You didn't provide a single source for anything you said on this page... could you please correct that?--Ioshus^(talk) 18:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
