Hello, Herohog. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Quinto Simmaco, 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 Dos 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 commit vandalism   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 userpage.

Hey

Wanted to apologize if I'd upset you re: the Papa Mali thing. I had no idea you were an acknowledged expert on the subject; if I had, then I would have conceded that yes, statements by you to that effect are pretty well valid. DS (talk) 14:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

No problem.

No problem. I am done with this joke you call Wikipedia. The "logic" used to determine a "reliable source" is DEEPLY flawed and open to all sorts of abuse as well as preventing a first hand post from the source at the root of a page. Now I understand why respectable educators and publications will not rely on Wikipedia as a valid source for research. Speedy "Herohog" Mercer (talk) 23:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
