Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Smselvic. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

 * Also, what exactly is going on at Utica, New York? Some sort of organized event? Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:35, 8 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Howicus. Yes, it was an organized event. Roughly 80 Utica College students conducted research on Utica for their university courses, and were then offered the opportunity to use their verifiable published sources to contribute to Utica's Wikipedia page. Many had problems creating log in names today, because of the overload of traffic. As a result only a few usernames circulated, of which one was mine.
 * Ah, UC. You guys made some redundant edits, but for the most part they were extremely helpful, esp. the references that were added. I hope you all continue to help better the page, related pages, and Wikipedia in general. Buffaboy  talk 22:48, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! It's a learning process for the whole group--but, I'm happy to see their classroom research put to practical use.

Welcome!
