If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! 

PS I notice you have what looks like a trial of an article below. Talk pages are generally used to aid communication between editors - this is where people will come to leave you messages - and using your talk page like this could make it difficult for them to do that or for you to see the message. You can set up practice pages within the your user section simply by adding a subpage. For instance typing [[User:Worldbeats/Allan Banford]] will give you User:Worldbeats/Allan Banford which you can edit while leaving this page free for communication. Many editors have a personal sandbox (for instance User:Worldbeats/sandbox) they use for testing things out, but separate pages allow you to keep what you've been working on indefinitely if it;s useful to your editing. Just a quick tip about using your user pages like this - try to ensure you don't put categories or fair use images into them. You can use place holders or put a colon straight after the first set of brackets (e.g. [[:image:Allan_Banford_closeup.jpg]] and [[:Category:1980 births|Banford, Allan]]). Wiipedia does not allow fair use images on user pages becasue of copyright concerns and the category trick stops other users seeing your test user page show up in the actual category list!.
