Welcome change

Welcome Everyone!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 1,441,214 users!
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm KSRolph, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Manual of style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked

           

If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

School project? change

Hi there. First, welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia. I hope you have a good time here and find it an enjoyable experience. I'd just like to kindly request that you notify us if you are running a school project here. Also, if these editors are your students, please ensure that they read the Manual of Style and follow it. Kind regards, -Orashmatash (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply


There's also the Wikipedia:Student tutorial if you want to take a look at that. Osiris (talk) 18:51, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
