Welcome Samcarew!

Hello Samcarew. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, 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   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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!

Hi again!

It's always a pleasure to welcome new editors to this awesome encyclopedia project. I don't know anything about adopting new users, however I'm told that there are some very savvy editors who do that all the time. I'm mainly just a wikignome and try to fly "below the radar". You can find those experienced editors at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters. The Teahouse is also full of answers to any questions you may have. Again, welcome to Wikipedia, an awesome reference project created by Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 13:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Please use WP:AFC to start a WP:DRAFT, without sufficient sources an article cannot remain in the mainspace. Thank you! 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:8CE3:2367:E96B:7ADE (talk) 01:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, how many sources do you need? Samcarew (talk) 09:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

As a rule of thumb three WP:SIGCOV, WP:INDEPENDANT, WP:SECONDARY, and WP:RELIABLE sources are needed, with each meeting all four criteria. Situationally it can differ but that is a good starting point. All of this is explained in more detail at WP:GNG. If you use the submit button on a draft after following the instructions on WP:AFC a reviewer will either accept the draft or explain specifically what issues remain to be addressed. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BC64:8303:1267:2029 (talk) 15:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
