User talk:The Gopher Dude

Welcome!

Hi, The Gopher Dude, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read the simplified ruleset. If you need help, feel free to use any of Wikipedia's hundreds of resources - like the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where you can ask question on the wiki, or by getting access to an IRC chat online with fellow Wikipedians! Wikipedia also has many pages dedicated to the use of Wikipedia: if you need help on how to title new articles, check out the naming conventions; Want to know how to format pages? Visit the manual of style. Haven't found an answer? Feel free to post questions on my talk page–I'm happy to help you with anything you need.

Help

Remember, the links above are always good, but if you still need help, try these:

Wikipedia:Help – ask for general help in editing Wikipedia here
Village Pump – here you can post technical questions about Wikipedia's operation
Reference Desk – where you can get help locating articles or factual information
Tutorial – a tutorial for beginners
Policy Library – a overview of Wikipedia Policies
Wikipedia:Cheatsheet – a great way to remember the Wikipedia language.

Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

If you want to practice your new Wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you.
You can (and should) sign your name using four tildes (~). If your keyboard doesn't have tildes (or for whatever other reason) you can also click the button on the bar above the editing field.

Good luck. --I Feel Tired (talk) 03:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
