Hello, Bridget.t

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. To start you off:

• Sign your comments using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
• To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page.
• These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.

These tips will hopefully prevent you from getting raeped by the ED admins.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list and ED IRC. If you need an admin, the list of active ED Sysops will let you know who's around. To chat with or to ask for help from other ED users, then please hit up the experts in #wiki on our IRC.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter. If that's not enough ED for you, feel free to join the all new ED Forums.

ur fucking ugly —The preceding comment was added by VancouverGold, who is too much of a fucking retard to sign his or her own posts. IT'S 4 TILDES (~), NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

Hey, I saw your user page, and just wanted to offer to help however I can while you're on ED. You don't need to worry about getting banned and we keep your IP confidential, even if you do get banned. Enjoy your stay here! White•Mystery

• Not to worry. Just let me know if there's anything we can do to help while you're here. White ♥ Mistress 21:02, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

• Even if it's just copying the existing information to a page in your userspace, the best thing you can do is demonstrate that the article can stand on its own two feet. Do that - at something like User:Bridget.t/Romchan, make it pretty with pictures and links and drama, and then let me know. I'll pass it on to some of our resident *chan experts and get their approval. However, if it's a good source of drama, you'll probably be fine. White ♥ Mistress 19:03, 11 May 2008 (CDT)
