- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first — it's fine to use common sense as you edit.
- If an edit you make is reverted, don't worry — just go to the talk page and discuss the issue. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~) and be civil.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun editing! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! ~~~~
