Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, ComputerFreak34, and welcome to Wikipedia, one of the world's fastest growing sites on the internet and that is and it's only through the contributions of editors like you. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one and a half million articles! But we still need more, so please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site. Wikipedia is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Below are some helpful links that you might find helpful:

Here are a few more good links for newcomers:
 *  Wikipedia introduction page.
 *  The five pillars of Wikipedia
 *  The Missing Manual: A thorough and intuitive guide to Wikipedia.
 *  Wikipedia editing tutorial
 *  How to edit a page
 *  How to write a great article
 *  Simplified Manual of Style

And here are several pages on what to avoid:
 * How to not spam 
 * How to avoid copyright infringement 
 * What Wikipedia is not 
 * Make sure not to get blocked, 

Common sense Dos and Don'ts:
 * Do be bold
 * Do assume good faith
 * Do be civil
 * Do keep cool!
 * Do maintain a neutral point of view
 * Don't spam
 * Don't infringe copyright
 * Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
 * Don't commit vandalism
 * Don't get blocked

If you need help check out Questions, The FAQ,  The Wikipedia Help Desk, or feel free to ask me on my talk page. Alternatively, place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. You can may also visit the Adopt-a-user page where new users can be adopted by an experienced user who will be their mentor.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes  and this will automatically produce your name (or IP) and the date. You should also use edit summaries - these allow other editors to quickly see what you have done and why. Again, welcome! ComputerFreak34 ( Talk ) 13:27, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
