Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!
Also, thank you for adding all the new Australian Rules Football articles articles.
Here's a suggestion -- when editing an article, there is a small field labeled "Summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
It's helpful to summarize your edit in a few brief words -- it helps other editors understand what you're doing. Only mark edits as minor if they're fixing typos or making very small formatting changes. Much of your edits are very substantive, valuable contributions you're making -- they're not minor.
Wikipedia always needs additional substantive material and you are off to a fantastic start. I hope you'll keep adding to Wikipedia.

Hi mate, if you're a fan of Aussie rules, I suggest you take a look at WikiProject AFL (join by adding your name to the list of participants) and the Australian rules football portal. Also take a look at Category:VFL/AFL players and feel free to drop me a line with any questions, or on the WP:AFL discussion page. Cheers! |
