User talk:Semery

Hello Semery, glad to see you've become a member of Wikipedia and have begun to make valuable contributions. Remember, your knowledge is always welcome here and you should never be afraid to be bold! Also, a really easy way to add a signature to a comment on the discussion page of any article is to simply type four tildes like this: ~~~~. Pretty soon, you may get a message that will give you some very useful links, but, in the meanwhile, here's the Wikipedia editing tutorial to get you started. --Xaliqen 04:28, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you ever want some help cleaning up an article, then feel free to drop a line on my talk page and I'll have a look. Below, I've included a slightly abbreviated copy of the original message Mailer Diablo sent to my talk page which was very useful:

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.

Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.

How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.

Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

If you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks:

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.

Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.

Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.

Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.

Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!
