Forum:New Users Guide and Other Important Stuff

This is a great idea, nice job. I don't think the problem is the userpages/user talkpages (most new users get help with those by the user(s) who welcome them); they need to be included, but the emphasis should be their edits on actual articles. When making an edit many users (new and old) don't always check the MoS. Although we cannot force a user to read it, should we stress reading the MoS more? I know when I first started editing a user here and there would tell me to read it and check my edits, but it wasn't stressed to where I felt compelled to do so.

If you really want to test the New User's guide, why not give the link to some of the new users? We get at least three or more every day, so finding people wouldn't be hard.. You could ask their opinions about it after they've read it. Then go from there..just a thought.-- Xion 4  ever  01:29, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
