  Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All of us were newcomers once, even those careful or lucky enough to have avoided common mistakes, and many of us consider ourselves newcomers even after months (or years) of contributing.
Don't slam the newcomer; remember, this is a place where anyone can edit and, in a very real sense, it is therefore each person's responsibility to edit, not criticize or supervise others.
Begin by introducing yourself with a greeting on their talk page to let them know that they are welcome here, and present your corrections calmly and as the contributor's peer, perhaps also pointing out things they've done which you *like*.

Newcomers generally enjoy and feel affirmed by the "Gifts Interview," and the interviewers notes are helpful guides in engaging the newcomer in relevant church groups, activities and ministries.
