Welcome
Great to see a new user... many subjects (such as tropical fresh water fish) are not "common knowlege" or "geeky" so it's likely that there's a lot of holes in Wikipedia's coverage. Thanks for joining up, and hope you can fill some gaps!

A few less generic tips - try and cite references for things if possible, even if it's just making a link like this: The acceptable pH range for a Silver Arowana is 6.0-8.0. 

Also be aware that many people are revert-happy. If you get into a reversion dispute, just chat on the discussion page, or the reverting user's talk page. Wikipedia says to be bold, however that doesn't always work.

There's a few morons (or worse, intelligent but not-yet-fully-educated) people on Wikipedia, however usually they aren't admins so give people the benefit of the doubt a bit, but stick to your guns if you feel you are correct. Rallying community support in talk pages is a great way to affect change.

Hope you enjoy your stay at Wikipedia! - JustinWick 19:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
