Remember to always sign your name on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the Image:Signature icon.png button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post; this will automatically insert your username, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.

As always though, the best way to learn about something is to experience it. Go and explore Wikipedia, the more time you spend on it, the more you'll know, and don't forget to have some fun!
