Welcome again[edit]
Hi, Cicognac,
Many many moons ago I timidly started editing on Wikipedia. It takes a very long time to feel confident here. Do tiny things to start with, don't make a fuss. Be prepared to have your ideas shot down in flames, crash and burn. In general, try not to get involved in controversial subjects. The swift way to fame is: Reliable Sources and References. There is no single preferred way to create a reference on WP, which is one of its overriding faults. As they all say, trying to create your first article is the almost the hardest thing you can do on WP. If you enjoy dispute, there is no shortage of other editors who will doubt you and your sources. The talk pages will determine whether you can hold your point of view, backed up by reliable sources. These days I feel I can cope with anything that any WP editor can throw at me. It was not always the case, but then I've been here since 2008. Feel free to ask me anything about WP, I certainly don't pretend to have all the answers. My talk page is here. Best of luck.
