Hello, Iamusingtheinternets

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. Take your time and start slowly.

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.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

[edit] Ty Cobb

Sorry, I had to flush it. Whilst I'm a big fan myself, there is too little on sports on ED to warrant an article on Albert Belle White. If you can find a bunch of Internets fan sites and/or forums to give it the ED Factor, I will restore it.

its allright, not many people reckognize the sheer amazingness of the ty cobb. i think i brought it up every time an assclown brought up chuck norris. cause anything said about ty cobb is usually true.

its almost as if he was too much of an asshole to even have fanclubs or fans.
