Welcome

Hi, Kingnickslick. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Kingnickslick/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Ideas

Hi there. Was nice to have met you. If you're wondering what to do next, I suggest editing some existing articles before starting one of your own - to get the hang of things.

You might be interested in the cleanup campaign, or helping out with peer reviews. You could browse the many projects, look at the newest articles, or maybe just something random. We have a list of requested articles, requests for feedback, and a huge backlog of tasks.

Also, there are lots of projects, for example;

Wikipedia:WikiProject Guitarists

Hopefully, this will give you some ideas. Be WP:BOLD, and try things out; if you make mistakesm you can just undo them.

If you ever need help, please ask for it - we're all here to try to make Wikipedia better, so we all help each other.

Please leave me a note some time on my talk page, and let me know how you're getting along.

Good luck!

I'd like to invite you to join Rock music WikiProject. There's a lot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! ~~~~

You are invited to join the Buckethead task force, a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to avant-garde guitarist Buckethead. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion. ~~~~
