Welcome, Donderblitz!


Welcome to Wikipedia, Donderblitz! I'm I dream of horses, and I've been assigned as your mentor. Around 10% of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor randomly taken from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

 * @I dream of horses thanks! I am a bit constrained by time and power outages, so my reaction time is a bit slow. I welcome any help. I need to read the tutorials. There are a few photographs I want to upload, they might belong in more than one category, so I imagine I upload it to each album as I go along?

 * Thankfully, Wikipedia is pretty accepting of those constrained by time, power outages, and other issues, up to and including censorship by both employers and governments.
 * Wikimedia Commons would be the place to go for uploading images, but first, you need to understand the unique copyright situation Wikipedia is under. Basically, nearly all of the time, images (and text!) need to be able to be sold, edited, etc. to be uploaded to commons. If you can justify a fair use exception, you can locally upload an image to Wikipedia, but I suggest waiting until you get some more experience editing before doing that.

 * @I dream of horses Hi - thanks. I am a librarian and I use and recommend Wikipedia a lot, contributing has been a long term tradition. This project for me now is actually because a library user asked me how to upload pictures, he has pictures of individual Victory Ships (WW2 US built cargo ships) I am not quite ready with my pictures - I have pictures from the library which I have permission to post, I need to double check relevance.
