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 can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * 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!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

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!

Troy
Hi Iddqd, thanks for the Trojan Horse pictures. Can you give sources for them, though? I.e. who took the picture of the touristy horse, and who made the (19th century) image? (I think it's not a painting but rather an etching). cheers, dab 09:46, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * thanks for your reply, iddqd; you can add the sources of the pictures you upload to the image page; the pages for the trojan horse images you uploaded are at Image:Trojan-horse.jpg and Image:TrojanHorseMythImage.jpg. You should add the source of the image to that page, and also a copyright Template. For expample, if the image is free of Copyright, you type . On Wikipedia, Copyright is taken very seriously, and if you are unsure if an image is copyrighted, you need to say  . I found the source on history101.net of the touristy Trojan Horse and added it for you. But I am not sure, this image might be copyrighted. I see you have uploaded other images also; please make sure you give as much information as to their origin as you can. It would also be cool if we found out the artist who made the Britannica etching, but that is not absolutely necessary, of course (it's enough to know that it is too old to be copyrighted). See also, for example, the image linked from Trojan Horse, Image:Theprocessionofthetrojanhorseintroybygiovannidomenicotiepolo.jpeg. cheers, dab 17:47, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Iddqd. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Iddqd~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
