Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).

Hi User:GaryKing! I noticed you were adding some new articles. It might be good for you to read the Tutorial up above so that you can Wikify them as you make them. I've gone back and fixed up the ones you made so far -- it might be useful to look at what I did to them to make them more like our other articles (i.e. here and here. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Fastfission 03:46, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Tendency
Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia - your article Tendency is from the American Heritiage dictionary, which is copyrighted. We want to stay a free resource, so we can only accept non-copyrighted material. Thanks. Whosyourjudas (talk) 22:22, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi GaryKing -- I've noticed you've been posting mainly definitions of words. You ought to review What Wikipedia Is Not -- Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Fastfission 23:20, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Sorry
Okay thanks, I'm just very new to this Wikipedia and was just feeling energetic about adding some stuff to the place.

I have learned my lesson at the very start, so it'll never happen again from now on.
 * Don't worry about it! We were all new here once, and it does take awhile to gain one's footing! :o) --Fastfission 04:26, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

okay
Okay! I'm a developer though so I'll try my best to get some footing here and hit the ground running soon enough.

So this place is more of a collaborative place for everyone's knowledge eh? And to help contribute ones knowledge with someone elses articles and such? Okay, well cool! :D GaryKing 12:18, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
