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!
 * Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
 * 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
 * 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!

Thanks
Your message left me speechless. Thank you very much, it is the best thing anyone has ever told me about my work here, and it'll certainly provide a strong motivation to continue. Although Wikipedia's information isn't supposed to be used without checking it up elsewhere, I certainly strive to make these articles as accurate and inclusive as possible, both for fellow Byzantinophiles and for the general public. So again, thanks for the appreciative comments from an engineer who is a historian at heart :). And if you could persuade your teachers to make more of their books accessible via the web, I'd have more material to write from ;). Best regards, Constantine  ✍  16:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
