Welcome new user

[edit]

Hello, User:Cooperative Guy, I see you opened an account last year and have begun to make edits to the encyclopaedia. You are most welcome and thank you for the constructive edits you have made so far .

I'm Lumos3, one of the numerous editors who voluntarily work as a welcomer to newcomers. I see you say you read Wikipedia a lot but seldom make edits. By way of encouragement I'm posting below a standard welcome box with lots of useful links. I hope you continue to get pleasure from reading and editing and help to make Wikipedia an even better resource for the community.

Wikipedia encourages new members to jump in and make corrections and contributions to articles. I found the Be bold guideline particularly encouraging when I was getting started. I also found the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet a useful quick reference for editing the source text but our new VisualEditor makes editing much easier (This needs to be turned on in your user preferences under beta features).

If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page here :- User_talk:Lumos3.

Happy editing,

Welcome Cooperative Guy!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 48,317,600 registered users!
Hello, Cooperative Guy. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Lumos3, 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 you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
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.

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cooperative Guy. Thank you.
