Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Dminstrel! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 12:20, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Hi Dminstrel, thanks for contributiong to wikipedia and sorry to see that your article Request tracker was Vfd'd as "advertising". As you can tell many wikipedians have no idea what real advertising looks like, *sigh*. Your contributions will be safer if you make them slightly longer, and if you put something on your User Page so your name appears blue, not red in Recent Changes. Kappa 11:35, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
