Hi!
Hi! I am a fellow Wikipedian, and this post is totally unofficial, just so you know. I want to welcome you to Wikipedia; I noticed that your edit to Graph Theory is your very first. My name is Whiteknox (kind of a funny name; formed by contracting Whitefield and Knox). I was wondering if the addition you made to Graph Theory was kind of an experiment. There is a special "Sandbox" made just for users to experiment. I and the other residents of Wikipedia welcome you and your contributions, but because this is a real encyclopedia, we want to keep experiments limited to the sandbox to preserve the dignity of this encyclopedia. Please don't be bashful about making contributions, however! Your text was worded in a somewhat general way; see the talk page for graph theory. I improved the statement as much as I could; if you can back up the statement with a web page reference or a reference to a book, please add a post to the talk page for the article.

No worries; if you accidentally make a mistake, another user will probably fix it, and it is much better for Wikipedia to have lots of information which is not always grammatical than to have a little bit of information which is absolutely perfect in grammar.

Wikipedia is an extremely reasonable and forgiving community in my experience. I have found the people to be friendly and always willing to help me out.

One of the features I have found most useful is the watchlist, which you can access by clicking "my watchlist" at the top right of the page when you are logged in.

I have copied below a helpful message that was posted onto my user page when I was first starting out in Wikipedia. It gives a lot of useful information on how to get up to speed in Wikipedia. I hope you contribute much to this encyclopedia! Remember that if you're not sure, you can always post on the discussion page for an article (click the discussion tab at the top of the page), but making mistakes is never that big of a problem because someone else will probably catch it and fix it.
