Welcome to Wikipedia


Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.


 * Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
 * A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
 * The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
 * Quick Introductions to:
 * Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
 * Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
 * Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
 * Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
 * Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?


 * What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.

If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.
 * Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.

Where next?

 * Check out Help:Watching pages. Your own Watchlist can become your favorite place to visit.
 * If you wish to express an opinion or make a comment, Where to ask questions will point you in the correct direction.
 * If you would like to edit an article, the Basic tutorial will show you how, and How to help will give you some ideas for things to edit.
 * If you would like to create a new article, Starting an article will explain how to create a new page, with tips for success and a link to Wikipedia's Article Wizard, which can guide you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia.
 * For more support and some friendly contacts to get you started, the Editors' Welcome page or the Teahouse page could be your next stop!

You know me, Fred (if this actually is you)
Hello, I'm Orangemike. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Fred Kessler seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  05:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Fred Kessler. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  05:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
