Hello, Jfg1976!
Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Hi Jfg1976, I’m Encoded and I’ve been assigned as your mentor. Welcome to Wikipedia! New Wikipedia editors receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I’m here to help with anything you need! Below, I’ve attached a whole host of information regarding how Wikipedia works. You don’t have to read it all now, but I’d recommend remembering this message and coming back to it if you’re unsure on anything. You can also send me any questions you may have, and I’ll be happy to help!
- Be bold! Find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any issues.
- It’s normal to feel a little overwhelmed, so don’t worry if you don’t understand everything at first — it’s fine to edit using common sense.
- If your edit is reverted, you can discuss it at the talk page. Be civil, and don’t restore it without consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
