Welcome to Wikipedia, Despardx! :D

Welcome!

Hello, Despardx, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

The image on the side has the text linked, hover over each to get a more in-depth understanding. Remaining a neutral point of view is NOT OPTIONAL, opinions that you express are not necesarily shared by other Wikipedians and as such should be kept to yourself. Just because the image says ignore all rules doesn't mean you disregard them, what that means is that if a rule hinders you from editing you should be bold and ignore it. Don't be a dick is quite self-explanatory, assume good faith and be civil.

Remember if you need help just give me a holler and I will get back to you as soon as possible, if I can't help I'll refer you to an administrator who can answer those queries which I cannot. If you are unsure as to whether or not your edit will break a policy ask an experienced user or place {{subst:adopt me}} if you want be "adopted" by a Wikimentor to learn under until you are capable of editing with minimal mistakes.

You can also help Wikipedia by becoming a Reviewer and participating in the pending changes trial, this allows you to review participating articles before that revision is released to the public, the trial is scheduled to end on the 15^th on August, 2010 you may apply for reviewer permissions here.You may also become a rollbacker, this userright grants you the ability to Rollback edits which constitute blatant vandalism in the blink of an eye, though be forewarned, misuse of the tool may lead to the removal of the rollback right. To become a rollbacker you need to have a firm knowledge of how to deal with vandalism. You may use WP:Twinkle to understand how rollbacking works. After you've shown yourself to be capable of dealing with vandalism you my apply for rollback rights here.

You may also become an account creator once you have participated in and familiarised yourself with the account creation process by creating accounts, please note there is a 6 account per 24 hours limit. Once you have done so apply for these permissions here. If you are going to create many new pages you may seek to gain the autoreviewer permission to have your pages automatically patrolled on creation, apply for that here. If you are exceedingly helpful, actively contribute to Wikipedia and show yourself trustworthy enough you may seek to apply for administrator rights or bureaucrat rights here.

Applying for administrator is not easy, you need to have made enough contributions to show that you are a capable editor worthy of the administrator userrights, becoming a bureaucrat is even harder, there are 852 admins and around 40 bureaucrats, generally users need previous experience as an admin before becoming a crat, there have rarely ever been users who were made crats without previously being an admin. Users generally need a good track record, some featured/good articles (this helps but isn't a requirement), patience with new users and above all respect, common courtesy and kindness toward others, good luck!

Now that you know a bit of the basics go forth and contribute your knowledge to Wikipedia and make Jimbo proud. I hope to hear from you soon, best wishes and happy editing :D
