Hello, Homespun-bleach, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

If you would like to test Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Please do not test Wikipedia by editing its articles.

Good luck and happy editing!

re:How Dee change

Thanks for your lovely message! Really nice of you, I'll look forward to checking over your articles (and spanking you! :O) but with what I've seen, they won't need much attention from me.

Those are how many computer bytes were added to the article. Memory in computers are measured in bytes (gigabyte, megabyte etc); so if someone added ten words to an article, instead of saying +10 words it says +10 bytes. Just as when, if someone removed some words, it would say -10 bytes except without the bytes on the end.
Basically it tells you if someone added to an article or removed from an article and approximatly how much they added or removed.
Hope this helps!
