Hi there. Please don't put the {{helpme}} template on your user page, put it on here. I'll post some general help below; if you need more direct assistance, it tells you how. Cheers, -- Chzz ► 05:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome
Hello, F*INK. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started.
You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit on wikipedia, so, if you like, just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, and ignore all rules, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
I suggest that you try to improve a few articles first, before you make your own. Maybe look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better.
When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.
If you need help, please ask! Edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.
If you want to know more, there's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of wikipedia!
