If you find typos you are unsure how to fix, please tell me! I can probably fix them, but I won't always be able to respond quickly. Oh, and if you want to just say high, that is fine. Just, please no swearing or insults, etc.. These things, in any form, will not be tolerated by me.

Wikiffeine, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Welcome Wikiffeine!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 39,341,155 registered editors!
Hello Wikiffeine. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Pdebee, 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
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please 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 your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Sincerely, Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 16:22, 23 June 2020 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)Reply

Thank you very much, Patrick. Please tell me if you see an article with many typos; as I would love to fix them. Thank you again. Wikiffeine •‿• 16:31, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey, also wanted to let you know that there is a Typo Team project here on Wikipedia - if you haven't already, you any want to hit that link and learn more about it! Cheers -- puddleglum2.0

Thank you for the welcome! And thank you for the link to the Manual of Style; I was looking for it. I'll look over those articles that need copy editing. Happy copy editing! From Wikiffeine •‿• 14:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

No problem, thank you for joining! There's some more information near the top of our main page if you want more information. All the best -- puddleglum2.0 22:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Userboxes

edit

Hi Wikiffeine! I noticed you were asking how to organize your userboxes. There's a convenient template for storing them all which you can find here. For an example of what it looks like, you can check out my user page and view the source of it to see how the template is organized. It's at the very top of my user page source. If you have any questions, feel free to respond! 0qd (talk) 00:28, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, 0qd! I've been wanting to organize the userboxes. Wikiffeine •‿• 00:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
No worries. Perhaps I should mention that my user page source is a rather bad example for the template; I used it in an abnormal way. As long as you follow the template instructions on the page I linked, you should be fine. 0qd (talk) 00:37, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yup, I'm fine. The main problem is that, I couldn't find the templates in userpages before (how ever obvious it was), but the instructions worked. Thank you! Wikiffeine •‿• 00:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Because you thanked me

edit
  Wikiffeine, you thanked me for one of my recent edits, so here is a heart-felt...
 YOU'RE WELCOME!
It's a pleasure, and I hope you have a lot of fun while you edit this inspiring encyclopedia phenomenon! DoebLoggs (talk)

Yes, thank you for reverting that edit! The page had been getting vandalized, so I thank you for helping me undo the vandalism! Wikiffeine •‿• 12:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
