Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Simplecorbin377! I am Fetchcomms and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! 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! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Training Program

Thank you for accepting me as your Adopter; I hope that my tutelage will benefit you and help you work to the best of your abilities. To get started, please tell me which of the following courses you would like to take:

Gnome Work: Choose this if you wish to primarily contribute by making small edits.
Vandal Fighting: Choose this to learn how to deal with vandals more efficiently.
Communication: Choose this to learn how to handle edit disputes, deal with biting editors, keep cool when the editing gets hot, and many others.
Articles: Choose this to learn what makes a good article, when and how to create an article, and how to edit one more efficiently.
Other: Choose this if the area you want me to help you with is not listed here. If you do choose this, please specify exactly what you want me to teach.

Once you've completed the course(s), I will consider you graduated. But if you think you need help in another area, you may choose to postpone your graduation. I hope that my courses will be useful and better prepare you for whatever may come at you on Wikipedia. Cheers!--Twilight Helryx 22:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First Lesson

Alright, your first lesson, Gnome Work, is ready. As soon as you're done reading, please let me know whether you understand or still have questions. Have fun!

To more easily access your lessons in the future, you can use this page.

By the way, Help in Editing will be covered in Articles. Just thought I'd let you know. ;) Cheers!--Twilight Helryx 15:00, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tip on linking

The link you've posted on the lesson page was coded incorrectly so I couldn't see the page. Fortunately I'be managed to fix it. Let me show you how to format the link properly.

First, click on the globe icon on the edit page. It should display something like this: [http://www.example.com link title]

Copy the address for the diff page. There are two ways to access it. 1) If no one else has edited after you and if you have the article watchlisted, you can simply click on the "diff" button on the left side. 2) However, if you don't have the article watchlisted or if you or someone else has made another edit, go to the page history and mark the circles of your edit and the one before it and click on the "Compare Selected Revisions" button. You should then be on the proper diff page.

Replace "http://www.example.com" with the address. Then, optionally replace "link title" with the address (or whatever you want the link to display as). If you only put the address in and don't put anything in for the title, you will get this: [1].

If done properly (with the title), the link will look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_DSi&diff=prev&oldid=331009564.

Here's how the code looks:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_DSi&diff=prev&oldid=331009564 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_DSi&diff=prev&oldid=331009564]

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers!--Twilight Helryx 04:01, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
