Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Mildredofbeulah, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. I'm a current Obie and have been watching the college's article. While the classmate of yours who plays jazz seems to be very good, if we included everyone of his ability that has from the conseravtory... You get the idea. Also, the guidelines for use of external links can be found at External links.

Here are some other tips:
 * First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
 * Learn how Articles for deletion works.
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button.
 * Provide an Edit summary.
 * Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
 * Create a User page.
 * Be bold.
 * Ignore all rules.
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this:. Four tildes(~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person.

 * Thanks for the welcome. I wonder if you can explain a minor point to me, that I haven't found the answer to yet -- what is a "nickname" in the user preferences section, and if I choose a nickname that's different from my username, which name will show up when I sign something with four tildes?

 * The nickname will show up when you sign. That's how people get their wild and wacky signatures. Like mine: GeorgeStepan e k\talk 09:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
