With the exception of a few protected pages, every page has an "Edit " tab which lets you edit the page you are looking at. It is Wikipedia's most basic feature, and allows you to make corrections and add facts to articles. If you add information to an article, please provide references, because unreferenced facts can be removed. So be clear and provide references.

To practice editing, go to the sandbox and click the "Edit" tab. When you click the "Edit" tab, that will open an editing window containing the text for that page. Type in something fun and interesting, or just replace words for your own words. Now click the Save page button and see what you have done! If you need help editing,
 * Check out the tutorial.
 * Wanting to create an article? Use the article wizard.
 * See the manual.
 * See the help desk.
 * View the help pages.

If you still need help. contact me on my talk page!

Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi, Viswanathaka! I noticed on the editing feedback board that you're finding Wikipedia confusing. You certainly aren't the first person. I'm just a beginner and I don't know if I can help you. But I know where you can go for help! Click on this: Teahouse/Questions, and then on the line that says Ask a question >>. This will open a question box. Explain your problem with some details and somebody who knows what they're doing will come along very quickly to help you out. They will leave a notice on your talk page when they've replied. Click on it and it will take you back to the Teahouse for the answer.

The Teahouse is a new space on Wikipedia where beginners can ask questions and get simple, friendly help. I've used it since I started a few months ago and love it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Tlqk56 (talk) 01:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
