Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello, Floating drinion. 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:

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?) 22:19, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, out of curiosity...What's a "drinion"? Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you -- I really appreciate all the help and resources! A quick question about the Teahouse: is it OK to ask technical questions there, like the one I just asked you on the chat channel, or is it for bigger-picture stuff?
Drinion is the name of a character in a book I love (The Pale King) and there's a scene where he's actually floating, but it's impossible for him to notice. It sounds very silly in this description, but it's actually really well-written. Floating drinion (talk) 22:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
