I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.
Additional tips
[edit]Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

"Ownership" of articles
[edit]You might wish to note that nobody owns a Wikipedia article, irregardless of whether they started an article, whether they contributed to it, whether they are the PR team of a subject of an article or even if you are the subject himself/herself. Please refrain from claiming ownership of articles and stay civil in discussions with users. Wikipedia is a medium for users to contribute to making things better, together. x42bn6 Talk Mess 01:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- It should also be pointed out that the version you posted here contains text that would appear to be point-of-view opinion and unsourced original research ("an image of a perfect classical artist painted by a sect of fans known as Grobanites" for example; where is thereliable sourcing that there is a "sect" of fans referred to "Grobanites" who are trying to paint such an image?) Additionally your change removed valid reference footnote formatting. Please be more careful with your edits.--Isotope23 13:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I find it interesting that Wikipedia finds it necessary to fold and cowtow to the constant whining, crying and other demands of "Grobanites" as they work their way across the internet rewriting Groban's biography. I expected better from Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:SweetTalker 03:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
