href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits" title="Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits">regular editors</a> and newcomers. The first edits of many now-experienced editors were test edits, or unsourced and unencyclopedic additions. It is unlikely for a new editor to be familiar with <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext" title="Help:Wikitext">Wikipedia's markup language</a> and its myriad <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies_and_guidelines" title="Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines">policies, guidelines, and community standards</a>. In some areas, even the most experienced are still newcomers, needing an occasional <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TROUT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TROUT">gentle reminder</a>. </p><p><a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Having_a_clue" title="Wikipedia:Having a clue">Not having a clue</a> is a normal stage in the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20241203123103/https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Editor_Lifecycles" class="extiw" title="meta:Research:Editor Lifecycles">editor lifecycle</a>. We want editors to <i>survive</i> this process: Communicating with newcomers patiently and thoroughly is integral to ensure they stay and continue contributing in an increasingly constructive manner. Therefore, <b>treat newcomers with kindness and patience</b>—nothing scares valuable contributors away faster than hostility. </p><p>Being open and welcoming to newcomers is a foundational principle of Wikipedia that forms a part of its <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:5P4" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:5P4">fourth pillar</a>. Newcomers are both necessary for and valuable to the community. By helping newcomers, we can increase the range of knowledge, perspectives, and ideas on Wikipedia, thereby preserving its neutrality and integrity. While this guideline includes various best practices and suggestions about how to perform adequately in this regard, <em>having a willingness</em> to do it is more than a suggestion—it is a requirement. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Understanding_newcomers" data-mw-thread-id="h-Understanding_newcomers"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Understanding_newcomers"></span>Understanding newcomers<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Understanding_newcomers"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Understanding newcomers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Our motto and our invitation to the newcomer is to <b><a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold" title="Wikipedia:Be bold">be bold</a></b>. We have a set of principles, best practices, and traditions, but they must not be applied in such a way as to thwart the efforts of newcomers who take that invitation at face value. A newcomer brings a wealth of ideas, creativity, and experience from other areas that, current <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_rules_are_principles" title="Wikipedia:The rules are principles">rules</a> aside, have the potential to better our community and Wikipedia as a whole. Any new domain of concentrated, special-purpose human activity has its own specialized structures, which take time to learn (and which <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus_can_change" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Consensus can change">benefit</a> from periodic re-examination and revision). Perhaps what the newcomer is doing "wrong" may ultimately improve Wikipedia. Before concluding they are simply "wrong", it is sometimes better to observe for a while and, if necessary, ask the newcomer what they are trying to achieve. </p><p>It is a given that newcomers make <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoiding_common_mistakes" title="Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes">mistakes</a>. A new editor engaging with content is a promise. A new editor <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Communication_is_required" title="Wikipedia:Communication is required">engaging in communication</a> is a treasure. Understand your responsibility as a more experienced editor. Don't squander the opportunity for Wikipedia to get a valuable contributor down the line by getting off to a bad start with the newcomer because of their "big mistake"; the opportunity is not yours to waste because you are exasperated by how people who have never written an encyclopedia before do not have encyclopedia-writing skills—the opportunity belongs to the entire community, so respect it. By doing so, you show respect to the community. By failing to do so you have maybe made yourself feel good for a second, but you have shown bits of hubris and carelessness that are a sign of disregard for the project's best interest. The newcomer's mistake that you've recognized does not have an impact in the scheme of things. They have to make the mistake. What really matters is that the editor is or becomes communicative, shows signs of getting it and gradually starts improving. </p><p>So teach by example and correct the mistake yourself. A note to the newcomer explaining what you have done and the relevant Wikipedia standard that they should follow in the future will prove more useful than slamming them. Communicate gently and respectfully to also immediately set an example for how to address other editors' mistakes and behave collegially. Tone down the rhetoric a few notches from the usual Wikipedia norm. Begin by introducing yourself with a <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcoming_committee/Standard_user_greeting" title="Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Standard user greeting">greeting</a> on the user's talk page to <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:First_contact" title="Wikipedia:First contact">let them know that they are welcomed</a>. Make the newcomer feel genuinely welcome, not as though they must win your approval in order to be granted membership into an exclusive club. If possible, point out something they've done correctly or especially well. </p><p>Unlike most online communities most people visit, Wikipedia is "<a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mostly_negative" title="Wikipedia:Mostly negative">mostly negative</a>", because it is a collaborative working environment in which everyone's work overlaps with that of many other people, and good results are achieved by finding imperfections in what someone else did and incrementally improving on it. Expect that newcomers do not understand this and will receive much of the feedback as real negativity. It takes time to adjust to this <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_Wikipedia_is_like_visiting_a_foreign_country" title="Wikipedia:Editing Wikipedia is like visiting a foreign country">unusual environment</a>. Do not overwhelm them with too many instructions by sending out a flow of final statements; instead, enable them to engage in a fluid conversation. By creating an opening for them to respond, each point of criticism will come off more naturally. </p><p>You too were once a newcomer. Treat others as you were treated (or, probably, wish you had been treated) when you first arrived. Remember: <i><b>"Do what's right; don't bite. Being a friend is all right!"</b></i> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Common_newcomer_scenarios" data-mw-thread-id="h-Common_newcomer_scenarios-Understanding_newcomers"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Common_newcomer_scenarios-Understanding_newcomers"></span>Common newcomer scenarios<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Common_newcomer_scenarios-Understanding_newcomers"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Common newcomer scenarios"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>A newcomer may save a tentative first draft to see if they are even allowed to start an article, with plans to expand it if there is no backlash.

Wait a few days to see how a harmless article evolves, rather than rushing to criticize.</li> <li>A newcomer may create an article about themselves, their <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GARAGEBAND" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GARAGEBAND">garage band</a>, or another topic they have an external relationship to. One way to deal gently with this is to <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY">draftify</a> the article, leave a note saying why, and explain what <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest" title="Wikipedia:Conflict of interest">conflict of interest means on Wikipedia</a>, especially the part that <em>having a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith</em>. Autobiographers need to be approached with a <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">high degree of sensitivity when their biographies are discussed</a>, and while creating such pages is strongly discouraged, that does not mean that biting the newcomer can make things better.</li> <li>A newcomer probably does not know that <i>we save <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" title="Special:RecentChanges">everything</a></i>. When their edits are reverted, they may panic, start an <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Edit war">edit war</a>, or leave Wikipedia entirely, mistakenly assuming that hours of work have been irretrievably deleted. Let them know they can negotiate with other editors on talk pages and, if all else fails, they can <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Undeletion_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Undeletion policy">request undeletion</a>.</li> <li>Newcomers may be hesitant to make changes, especially major ones, such as <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">NPOV</a>-ing and moving, due to fear of damaging Wikipedia (or of offending other Wikipedians and being flamed). <i>Teach</i> them to be bold, but of course, be cautious.</li> <li>While it is fine to point a new user who has made a mistake towards the relevant policy pages, it is both unreasonable and unfriendly to suggest that they stop taking part in votes, <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AFD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AFD">Articles for Deletion</a> discussions, etc., until they "gain more experience". This both discourages new editors and deprives Wikipedia of much-needed insights. Let newcomers express their opinion and remember that you can support your argument when the discussion is happening.</li> <li>On occasion, a disproportionate number of new users will show up in a discussion to support a particular issue. This is <em>not</em> a reason to assume a militantly defensive posture and start biting. Our decision-making processes are sufficiently robust to handle this phenomenon. While the new users could even be <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Sock puppetry">sockpuppets</a>, do not address them using that particular word (or "<a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Meatpuppetry" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Sock puppetry">meatpuppet</a>"), which can be received as disparaging language. Start a <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations">sockpuppet investigation</a> if there is evidence. In the meantime, simply treat the new users as legitimate newcomers and explain that their recommendations may be disregarded if they are not rooted in our content policies, that any misuse of multiple accounts can not help their case, and that <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Polling_is_not_a_substitute_for_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion">polling is not a substitute for discussion</a> (it's enough that <em>you know</em> and <em>trust that the closer will know</em> this principle; not every newcomer must also immediately internalize it for the process to work).

Besides, it is discouraged to label <i>any</i> editor with such invidious titles during a dispute (see <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_call_a_spade_a_spade" title="Wikipedia:Don't call a spade a spade">Wikipedia:Don't call a spade a spade</a>).</li> <li>Sometimes newcomers forget to <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">sign</a> their talk page posts.

Often, the newcomers wouldn't be aware that there has already been a discussion on the topic, even if it is very recent, so please guide them with it.</li> <li>No Wikipedian is above any other Wikipedian, even if experienced. Editors who exercise these privileges should provide unambiguous clarity as to why, based on policies.</li> <li>Newcomers might violate the <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:3RR">three revert rule</a>. There is no reason to expect that a newcomer would know about this rule, so it is a good idea to inform them of the rule on their talk page after their second revert.</li> <li>Remember <a href="/web/20241203123103/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_Razor" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanlon's Razor">Hanlon's Razor</a>. Behavior that appears malicious might be from ignorance of our expectations and rules.

Remember that the apparent test editors have the potential to be tomorrow's editors.
