Welcome!

My favorite topic here is early 20th century warships. I assume yours will be different.

Hi Mcrwylie, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Ed, a recent college graduate and an editor here. As cliché as it sounds (try not to roll your eyes), Wikipedia is created by the collective contributions of regular people just like you, so I'm excited to work with you during the semester!

If you need any help, a visit to our Help:Contents page may be able to give you a swift answer. If it doesn't, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page (click "new section" for a new post, or "edit" to reply to an older post) or ask your question on this page and place {{Helpme}} before the question. No question to me is too small, as I'm all too aware that this can be a ridiculously complex website.

Your professor has also posted a helpful set of links on your course page under "Resources".

I don't want to burden you with even more pages to read (I'm sure your classes have assigned you enough reading for a lifetime), so just remember:

  • Help:Contents is your link to Wikipedia's extensive collection of help pages.
  • You can usually type "WP:___" in the search bar to find what you want. For example, if you wanted to find out what a talk page is, searching for WP:TALK is pretty simple.
  • If those don't work, don't panic. That's what I'm here for. Leave me a message and I'll see what I can do.

Good luck! I hope you enjoy your editing here—at least as much as any student can enjoy a class assignment!—and I encourage you to continue editing after your class ends. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
