Hello, RyanChamberlyn. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm MrX, 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 Do's 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 vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

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

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Thank you for the welcome. I used to edit here many years ago under a different handle but I long forgot the password or had access to the e-mail I used back then.RyanChamberlyn (talk) 21:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am impressed with your recent work on here. Quick and correct responses to article tagging. Not as you need it, but have you considered going into the adoption process on Wikipedia to further increase your knowledge and work on the encyclopedia? John F. Lewis (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I greatly appreciate the kind complement sir. But it has been many years since I actively edited here. I'm afraid that I have forgotten so much about procedures that I once knew. I suppose it is something to consider.RyanChamberlyn (talk) 20:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

If you want to go through the adoption process, feel free to just ask me on my talk page (Or if you decide today: Here) and I would be more than happy to accept. John F. Lewis (talk) 20:28, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
