- New to Wikipedia? Want better experience? Or you just ended up here for some reason? Stop, here are some useful advices that could benefit you whether you're some random school IP or the Lord.

Editing

 * Minor edits are in many cases the best type of edits.
 * You don't need to attend a Wikipedian school to be a true Wikipedian.
 * Anyone can learn the basics of editing an article.

Communication

 * Don't trust anyone just because they tell you so.
 * Feel free to ask any reasonable, respected user for any type of question.
 * Don't call people "NAZIS!" or "FASCISTS!" or "DIRTY JEWS!" just because they reverted your edit. Rather, learn from your mistake.

Don't do these

 * Do not rush straight into creating an article the second you see the button. It still takes days even for veterans.
 * If you leave Wikipedia after your first edit, you might as well never return.
 * Wikipedia is not a chat service. You're basically just annoying knowledge providers.
 * If you strive to be a respected editor, never vandalize.

Special features

 * If you're looking to use the email feature, create a redundant email address specifically for Wikipedia (something like example_wiki@gmail.com, with faked details if you want). That way there will be zero risk of any personal detail exposure.

You are welcome.
