Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They contain a lot of info for conduct and general editing.
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Response to question
I saw your question on the help desk on creating an article. Fist, you need to search for that topic in Wikipedia to make sure it does not already exist. If it does not, then you type in what you want to name the article in the search area and click "go." When it says there is no such article, click on edit this page, if it is not on that feature already, and then type the text you want on the page into the edit box, and click "save page." Your article should appear instantly. Thanks!--Brendenhull 23:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * However, before creating the article you should also make sure the topic is notable, see Notability. There isn't really a hard and fast requirement about notability, although from your description on the help desk (a youth football team, I am involved with) I suspect if you create this article someone will shortly request that it be deleted.  The main reason notability is desirable is so articles satisfy the requirement for Verifiability (unlike notability, verifiability is a policy).  An article about a youth football team you write from your own knowledge is not very likely to be verifiable.  If this team has a long history and has won national or international championships and information about it is available in sources (websites, books, magazines) you cite, then a Wikipedia article would be fine.  Although this article is not about a person, most of the same principles from Autobiography also probably apply.  I hope this helps.  -- Rick Block (talk) 23:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
