What is this Page
This is a page in the Wikipedia user space and not the article main space. That means that most Wikipedia rules to not apply to it. The page is my (User:Cumbrowski) personal reference to Wikipedia, which I use myself and also refer other Wikipedians to in the hope that they will find it as helpful as I do, to better collaborate together at Wikipedia and beyond. Please note, that the statements and comments are my own and express my view and understanding of things here at Wikipedia. Some editors will certainly disagree with me on specific details here and there, but that is Wikipedia too. It would be too easy, if everybody would have the same view and opinion on things. See this as an exercise for the real Wikipedia main space :).

You are free to add resources to this page. This page is for everybody and not just for myself. Don't be shy, use the "edit" link at the top, just like you do in the main space of Wikipedia. Cheers!

If you are new to Wikipedia, then you might got already the Template:Welcomeg added to your users talk page. It contains already a good overview and links to useful resources for new editors of Wikipedia. The resources below will still be useful to you and compliment the "Welcomeg" template. If you did not get the template that I mentioned on your user talk page check it out and/or add it to your user talk page yourself, if you'd like. Simply paste following statement into your user talk page:.

The Rule That Rules Them All
If you have to say in one sentence what Wikipedia is (the content), this would be it IMO.

... the three key policies, which warrant that articles and information be verifiable, avoid being original research, and be written from a neutral point of view are held to be non-negotiable and cannot be superseded by any other guidelines or by editors' consensus.

Quote from WP:DGFA.


 * Supplemental to that also see Wikipedia is an encyclopedia (or short Wikipedia:ENC), which is more about What Wikipedia is NOT.

Wiki Links, Help, Tutorials and Guides
If you are new to Wikipedia, I recommend that you check out the references in the left column. It is sorted by priority so simply work it down by starting at the top. The right column has various other resources that caught my attention. Also references to Wikipedia related stuff on other Websites, including Blogs and Podcasts.
