Re your question on the BB2004 talk page

Hello Mikopale, and welcome to Wikipedia. To answer your question, there's no such thing as an 'official' editor here. I assume you're asking because the article won't let you edit at the moment - that's because it's semi-protected, meaning that it can't be edited by anonymous users (those who only show up as an IP address), or newly-registered users. If you wait a few days (I think it's four days after you create your account, but I'd have to check!), you'll be able to edit the same as the rest of us. This only applies to protected articles, by the way. You can edit anything else, as long as you stick to our editing policies.

These policies are linked in your welcome message above, and I recommend you take the time to read them if you haven't already. The most important thing to remember is that we're here to build an encyclopedia, so anything that harms this effort (such as some of the disputes you've seen going on recently) is not allowed. Don't worry about making mistakes though - we were all new to this once, so we've all been there. Wikipedia can seem an overwhelming place at first, and there are so many rules, guidelines and policies that it's difficult to get to know them all. As long as you communicate with other editors politely, edit in good faith, and make sure you have reliable sources for any content you add, you'll be fine ;)

If you need a hand with anything, feel free to ask someone. My talk page is linked ^above my signature, you can post on your talk page (this page, which I'm watching), or you can put {{helpme}} at the top of this page, and someone will be along. I hope this helps, and happy editing! EyeSerene^talk 16:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
