User talk:Det&cor

Welcome! ''' Hello, Det&#38;cor, and welcome to Wikipedia! This is one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only through the contributions of editors like you. And Wikipedia is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Wikipedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, you can just type  on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. And if you haven't done so, tell us a bit about yourself. If you need some help, visit the Teahouse Q&A board. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

 * A little piece of advice that might comfort you: like in the real world, while the debate might turn quite harsh in a few highly disputed contexts, this is not representative of the usually very constructive way we're collaborating in most subjects. For somebody interested in getting work done rather than arguing about this and that, there is ample opportunity to just help building an encyclopedia, with just occasional, problem-oriented discussions.
