User talk:Silvermonkey

Welcome!
Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! I read your post on the new user log. I agree that this place can be a little overwhelming at first, but I assure you that it'll all start making sense over time. In the meantime, here are a few handy tips for newcomers:


 * A few basic rules: Try to write from a neutral point of view, be bold in editing pages, and use Wikiquette.


 * A good intro page is the welcome page. The Wikipedia tutorial also gives a lot of basic info that will help get you oriented on Wikipedia. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or Where to ask a question.


 * When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes ( " ") for your username and four (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp (just like you did on the new users log).


 * Remember to provide an edit summary when editing.


 * If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Wikipedia, have a look at the Community Portal, you'll find that there's always something happening.

If you ever have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy editing and have a great day! :-) Akamad 03:52, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
