Some other hints and tips:
*You might consider getting a username by clicking '''<span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup}} sign up]</span>'''. You don't have to [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and has many [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|benefits]]. As a registered user, you gain the use of an [[Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate usernames|appropriate]] [[Wikipedia:Username|username]] of your choice, a personal [[Wikipedia:Watchlist|watchlist]] to which you can add articles that interest you, the ability to [[Help:Starting a new page|start new pages]], and much more. Also, your [[IP address]], {{<includeonly>SUBST:</includeonly>PAGENAME}}, will no longer be visible to other users.
*When using [[Wikipedia:talk pages|talk pages]], please [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (<font color="red"><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></font>). This will automatically produce your username (or [[IP address]]) and the date.

Other tips
*Check out [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser]], which makes repetitive tasks like adding templates to talk pages much quicker. Also, try experimenting with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts|user scripts]], which you can add to [[User:{{SUBST:PAGENAME}}/monobook.js]]. [[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups|Popups]] is a particularly useful script for both using and editing Wikipedia.
*Always fill in the [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] field, unless you are making a [[Help:Minor edit|minor edit]], in which case you should mark it as such.
