Huh. For me it was just a minor sense of satisfaction. Like I'd smile on the inside and have a feeling of accomplishment.

But I used to edit Wikipedia for grammar and spelling, so maybe I'm used to it!

I was nervous as fuck. Since then, I have found that creating pages suits me better than maintaining them.

AOD, I had tried to edit Wiki a couple of time, but the markup and the rules were so damned opaque I never managed it. Hence my giddiness at actually managing it here.

And I've found I prefer maintaining to making.

Maintaining is nice.

Hear that new tropers? Maintaining pages is a cool and sexy thing to do. Go out and italicize titles, cut natter and add index markups. Women/men will flock to you, allured by your confident editing.

...must be cool and sexy...

Welcome new Tropers! We're always looking for new blood to keep things fresh! (Watch the Karin ads to the side increase tenfold thanks to my mention of blood).

I'm saving up my first edit for marriage.

OK, more seriously, can't remember what my first edit was, probably adding a One Piece or Death Note example somewhere. What I felt more giddy about was launching my first article.

Well, I proposed to the wiki a while back, So Yeah. waii

My first edit was most likely somewhere in How Video Game Specs Work, since I'm a hardware geek and I was still new here, so I figured I'd go with what I know.

I think my first edit was adding a Golden Sun example somewhere.

I hate many things, some more than others. So there are some things that, on a good day, I can just about stand. Others, like character limi

Mine had something to do with The Legend Of Zelda, I think...

My first edit was a Windwaker thing in Convection, Schmonvection. Being a first edit, I think it was an "Actually."

I don't remember my first edit, but I'm sure it had something to do with either Avatar: The Last Airbender or Star Wars, 'cause I am obsessed with those things like nothing else.

Or maybe it was Perverse Sexual Lust in Troper Tales. I can't really remember.

these are the voyages...

My first edit was something about Edna Mode from The Incredibles. Don't remember what page.

I haven't a clue what my first edit was. It was before The Great Crash, I know that much.

We've actually derailed the newbie thread, haven't we?

Hi, newbie here, so maybe I'm rerailing the thread? Well to help stay...off topic, my first edit was to add an example from Trinity to Kleptomaniac Hero.

If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe.

Welcome! As the others have said before us, Trope Talk, Wiki Talk, and Fix It! are the nuts and bolts of TV Tropes, and we greatly appreciate your feedback and contributions there. On Topic Conversations tolerates derails less, and Yack Fest is pretty much /b/ or GBS. Enjoy!

Also: We just derailed because it'd been a while since a newbie introduced themselves.

Yack fest is nothing like /b/, by the way...

Welcome to the Jungle! We've got fun and games (we do, actually)... if you like faster paced conversation, there's the ventrillo chat.

That's what you want them to think.

I'd like to think that Yack Fest posters are smarter than GBS posters.

or maybe that's what I want them to think... of course, this would take us nowhere. So let's assume we're all nice and always tell the truth.

Because we're all nice and we always tell the truth.... really.

Also, for the database, gender, age and maybe nationality (of course, there's a thread for that last one.)

General Bullshit, something awful... to be fair, I found that out of a hunch.

EI: To be honest, yeah. YF is much smarter than GBS. In fact, the general atmosphere around here is pretty similar to SA's more laid-back subforums, like ADTRW, BSS or GWS. Which is probably why I've gravitated towards those — they're the most troperlike!
