User talk:December Nights

Welcome!
Hello, December Nights, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

That above is a default welcome message with some helpful links. Here following that I'll offer some of my own pointers. If you are looking to get involved in Wikipedia (WP) processes, such as WP:AFD, WP:DYK, WP:RD, or WP:AIV, to offer various examples, the best way to get a better understanding of them is to "lurk", and then contribute when you feel ready. This shouldn't take too long, and remember that if you make a mistake it's okay. Other editors may blow up because you made a mistake, but remember that it's no big deal.

In terms of articles, find an area that you are interested and feel could use expansion on Wikipedia. Perhaps finding a WikiProject based on an area might be helpful, and seeing through that what articles in that area need help.

Lastly, there are some helpful tools that can help you edit, although I would wait to use some of them until you're confident about using them (not that you can really make an irreversible screwup, but remember that you're responsible for any semi-automated edits that you make). I use WP:HG for anti-vandalism and WP:POPUPS to help me just check diffs quickly without clicking on them. Go to the preferences link on the top right of your screen and go to gadgets to find more interesting and possibly helpful tools.

If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. If you get involved and want me to "check over" stuff you do, I will try to do that to the best of my ability (I'm not an expert in every area). Happy editing,  Spencer T♦ C 19:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
