About Saposcat
The name "Saposcat" is a combination of the Latin "homo sapiens" and "skatos," which is Greek for excrement. Everyone should check out the only article I have created or contributed to thus far, Catullus 5. Hopefully in the future I can get translations of more poems up and contribute to or create other, unrelated, articles. Many thanks to ClockworkSoul for making my first day at Wiki enjoyable and productive. SapoScat 03:25, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

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!

Yes, I've given you my standard "welcome" template :) It's always good to see a newcomer starting out. There's alot going on here, but you'll get the hang of things before you know it. Who knows, maybe you'll want to become an administrator too one day? – ClockworkSoul 03:09, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
