User talk:SarahMcLovin

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, SarahMcLovin! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 19:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Tips
Okay, diverting from the marginally-useless template that people only use because they're too lazy to write a real message (I am guilty as charged), I'd like to leave a couple hints and tips here so you can become a veteran user faster.


 * Hang around in IRC a lot. Many seasoned users (like this extremely handsome and funny person) hang around in the main chatroom a lot, and you can easily get a quick question answered there. I'd also like to note the refreshing change that talking to erudite people brings, as opposed to an average AIM chatroom where the main topic is the users' boredom, MySpaces, or bothersome schoolwork. (If you haven't a client, the best option would be to just use this Java client, which is good for basic chatting.)


 * Check out Adopt-a-User...and pretty much anything else under Category:Wikipedia help forums. Remember, the users in there are here to help, and there are myriads of ways to get help. The simplest of which would be to simply put in your talk page (I know I've had to do that once or twice), but you can also visit  and ask there.


 * Go through the intro. Pretty useful stuff, although some of it will be a no-brainer by now.

That's it. Hit me up here or here if you need more help, or just do what I said above.  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 16:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ship to 21655's address a package of 250 six-packs of A&W root beer every March 15. Nothing like seeing your favorite soda (and lots of it) suddenly come to your house on your birthday.
