Welcome, Phantomsteve!
Hello, Phantomsteve, and welcome to Wikipedia!
Thank you for your contributions
I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
You might also find these policies and guidelines useful:
- What do we mean if we say that you might have a Conflict of Interest?
- What do we mean by Neutral Point of View?
- What sources are counted as reliable?
- What makes the subject of an article notable?
- Why was my page deleted?
- An essay containing a List of bad article ideas
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!
If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions.
There are several ways of getting help:
- Leave a message on this page. It is on my watchlist, which means that I can see when the page is changed!
- Leave a message on my talk page
- Go into IRC Channel #wikipedia-en-help
- Leave a message on this page starting with
{{helpme}}followed by your question - someone in the IRC help room will be over as soon as possible - Leave a question on the Help Desk or on the New Contributors' Help Page
By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Phantomsteve) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the 
icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.
<!-- user name warnings -->
I am now going to sign below this box with my signature, by adding~~~~ here:Introduction
