For Newbies

 * 1) Create an account.
 * 2) Use the Watchlist to keep track of your favorite bands, animals and people on Wikipedia.
 * 3) Don't get mad when someone criticizes or undoes your work. This can be prevented by writing good Edit Summaries.
 * 4) Ask someone for help if you see their name come up often in your favorite articles' history.
 * 5) Learning to use Categories (scroll to bottom of page) will save you in the longrun.
 * 6) Most users you may hate in the beginning. Eventually you will love them.
 * 7) Trivia sections (which are lame) can be molded into "Cultural references" section with little effort.
 * 8) Stay away from the "big" articles. Help is needed elsewhere.
 * 9) Don't even try to comprehend the music genre articles. They are a quagmire--stay very far away.
 * 10) Find your niche. There is a lot to do, but you can't do it all (see quote #2).
 * 11) WP:IAR
