Hello, Alouette93. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Neonorange, 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
  Simplified 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 edit where you have a conflict of interest
  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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Thanks for your work on Hannah Webster Foster!
When using your talk page or another editor's talk page the custom here is to continue any conversation on the talk page where the thread began. For example, if you wish to reply to the message I just added to your talk page, just place it under this message with an indent. To make this custom easier for new editors, I suggest you place a 'template' at the top of your new talk page. The template is ++Usertalkback|me=watchtb|you=watchtb|icon=lang++ (replace the leading double + with two opening curly brackets and the trailing double + with two closing curly brackets). Look at what the template expands to before you save the edit, then choose whether or not to save the results. - Neonorange (talk) 21:40, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
