Hi Moni. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you (busy at work, thats my excuse!), but a belated welcome to Wikipedia!

With regards to getting started, the first thing you should do is read WP:EDIT. Pretty much everything you need to create and write stubs is in there. The second thing I would recommend for new editors is to join up with Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. This will pair you up with an experienced editor who will give you help where and when you need it. More information on how to join is here.

We are so glad you are here, do stick around and help make Wikipedia make the internet not suck! Rockpocket 08:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I'm also happy to help you. Glad to have you here. We have some odds ways of behaving and newbies often find it difficult settling in, as "everything" they do is "wrong". Ho hum. I strongly suggest you start by contributing to existing articles, rather than starting new ones (that's where newbies tend to start, and it's far more difficult... and often ends in tears). Find a topic that interests you and you have some knowledge about and then develop an existing article on the subject. If you look here you'll find thousands of tiny "stub" articles that need expanding - you could do a lot worse than finding one of them and making it better! --Dweller 11:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
