Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Hello, Mylesgoins. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction and Getting started
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.
If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.
And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 16:45, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits to American River. The lead on the page is better now, wording-wise. By the way, that citation was "stuck" on #6 because it was not, technically, the first citation in the article. The Infobox, that appears on the right side of the page, is actually above the first line of the article when you look at the code, so the first reference in the infobox becomes reference #1.
