Some have magic.
Like good teachers, like the kind that have twinkles in their eyes when talking about something they love.
And it's contagious. Sometimes so strong, you would actually start enjoying stuff you used to hate.
Some pages here are like that, you feel the guy loves what he's talking about.
PS: The below is mostly for myself! :P

Quick Tips For Newbies
These are tips, stuff I found out by chance, and highlights related to mistakes I have done. (-_-' )
- Don't get lost : There are so many help and guide articles, try to stick to one simple one that fits your needs. When necessary, complete it with search.
- Finding tips : Learn how to use advanced Search. There are many cool tips, guides and resources on userpages. eg. Try ""tips for" (start OR beginner OR newbie)"
- Avoiding mistakes : Seeing mistakes maybe the easiest way to learn. You can find them navigating article histories.
- Try to see what Wiki bots have done, who removed what and why...
- One thing you'll learn is that it's a waste of time if you don't do thing properly.
- ... and it can be quit funny when you see stuff added and removed many times.
- Before you...
- Add text : Better know in what order sections should be mentionned.
- Add a link: You must fly over this and this.
- New domains: CAREFUL, search and ask here to see if it's OK. I find it easier to simply avoid it, let more experienced editors be judge of that. Referenced pages can be automatically archived [i]... sure it's worth it?
- Citing reference : Some sites look serious and seem like good source... but they cay be Wikipedia Mirrors! You'd be surprised! (well I was) It's realy worth checking out this list. - and if you see any ine articles, they can be removed.
- Dead links : If you see a dead link[i], don't remove it but add {{dead link}} inside the <ref> tag.
- Getting Help : To ask, go to Wikipedia:Questions. To call, add : {{helpme}} or {{adminhelp}} to your talk page to get an editor or administrator to visit you. If you want more, you can ask to be “adopted” by adding {{subst:adopt me}}.
- Coaches have created questionnaires. Have a look at them.

Leave A Message
- If you leave me a message: I will answer on my talk page, then place {{Talkback|Usertalkback}} on your talk.
- If I left you a message: please answer on your talk page, then place {{Talkback|your username}} on my talk.
- Please click here to leave me a new message.
About the above block
The bloc above mentions the template Template:Talkback The purpose of Talkback template: Many users state that when they get a message, they will respond on your talk page instead of on their own. This makes reading back a conversation quite cumbersome; having to switch talk pages back and forth in order to make sense of the conversation. To this end, you can use this template to notify a user that you have responded to his/her message on your own talk page.
- If you also want this on your user page, copy past this:
{{Usertalkback}}on your own page.
