Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.

- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Hi Christian. I just saw your posting on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration.
Just a suggestion, but you may want to try mediation first. Some of our mediators are particularly good, and can really help in working things out, even between the most opposed of parties. Generally, arbitration is something to be avoided - it's a point of last resort, and can often take a long time to resolve. Ambi 13:17, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi Christian -- regarding your request for mediation (Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation#VeryVerily_and_CK) -- first of all, it was declined by User:VeryVerily, but even if it hadn't been, (despite Ambi's advice above) I would have asked you to rcarefully read through Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, and then if applicable make a request for comments on the dispute to involve more people in the discussion. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at my talk page.
Thanks, BCorr, Chair of the Mediation Committee, 14:29, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
