User talk:Snailtrailer

Welcome!
Hi there! I read your post on the newcomers help page. The Help:Starting a new pagepage should provide all the info you need to start a new article.

But to summarise what it says: to create an article, simply search whatever title you want the article to be called. If the page already exists, you can start contributing to the page. If it doesn't, you'll get the option of creating the article. For example, if you wanted to create an article on something called "Boxloader" (don't ask me what that is, I simply made it up!), you can search for "Boxloader" on the searchbox, which will give you this page, you'll notice the option given to "create this article", simply click there and edit and you would have created an article on Boxloaders. I hope this all made sense, if it doesn't simply drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Have a look at Your first article for more info on what can and can't be posted.

In the meantime, here are a few tips for newcomers:
 * 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.


 * Remember to provide an edit summary when editing.


 * 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.


 * 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.

Like I said, 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 09:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
