Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Ktkvtsh (talk) 02:07, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm your very own mentor!

Hello, Respair, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm MWFwiki and I've volunteered to be your Wikipedia mentor. I'm here for you whenever you need help with Wikipedia. It's great to have you on board to help create this online encyclopedia.

See your homepage for a brief tutorial. Here are a few links you might find helpful:

Need some ideas about what kind of things need doing? Try the "Suggested edits" module top left on your homepage, or the Task Center.

Help is available: as your Mentor, you can always find me listed in the "Get editing help" module bottom right on your homepage; there are also additional help links there. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or try the Wikipedia:Teahouse to get help designed especially for new users from a team of experienced volunteers. So go ahead and ask questions — we're here to help!

Everything above is pre-written, but I'd like to personally welcome you to Wikipedia; I apologize this message is so late, I've been having issues with my "mentee dashboard." You may feel free to interact with me as little or as much as you would like. I'm here to answer all of your questions, to the best of my abilities... or you may ignore this message! It's entirely up to you. If you choose to seek my assistance, it can be informal, a question-at-a-time arrangement; or we can conduct a more formal mentorship program. I've been editing for over 11 years, now. I generally edit military and law enforcement-related articles, but I have experience editing well beyond those two topics. If I don't hear from you, I look forward to seeing you around! — MWFwiki (talk) 00:27, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message and the welcome. ^^ Respair (talk) 00:35, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
