Welcome to Wikipedia[edit]
Hello Silkweed, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. The most important feature of Wikipedia is the ability to edit any article you like. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link. If you have anything you would like to add, or you see something that isn't correct, don't hesitate to edit it.
If you're not sure how to work with Wikipedia, you should check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki. In the sandbox you can try as much as you want.
For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.
I really hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help you with Wikipedia in any way I can. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.
Once again, welcome and I hope you'll enjoy your stay here at Wikipedia!
