Sure! I would be more than happy to mentor you (I know there's a whole adoption thing at WP:ADOPT if you want to try that route too - there's a backlog though - but because of our previous interactions, I'm open to doing that too, although I have admittedly little experience as an adopter). For some just starter resources, try this. It's through WP:ADOPT, but contains some decent links about "Dealing with Conflict" (we're people, it always happens), some ideas about where to start, and where to ask questions (although you can always use my talkpage and I'll do my best to answer it or direct you to someone who can).
That said, I'll offer some of my own pointers. If you are looking to get involved in Wikipedia (WP) processes, such as WP:AFD, WP:DYK, WP:RD, or WP:AIV, to offer various examples, the best way to get a better understanding of them is to "lurk", and then contribute when you feel ready. This shouldn't take too long, and remember that if you make a mistake it's okay. Other editors may blow up because you made a mistake, but remember that it's no big deal.
In terms of articles, find an area that you are interested and feel could use expansion on Wikipedia. Perhaps finding a Wikipedia:WikiProject based on an area might be helpful, and seeing through that what articles in that area need help.
Lastly, there are some helpful tools that can help you edit, although I would wait to use some of them until you're confident about using them (not that you can really make an irreversible screwup, but remember that you're responsible for any semi-automated edits that you make). I use WP:HG for anti-vandalism and WP:POPUPS to help me just check diffs quickly without clicking on them. Go to the preferences link on the top right of your screen and go to gadgets to find more interesting and possibly helpful tools.
If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. If you get involved and want me to "check over" stuff you do, I will try to do that to the best of my ability (I'm not an expert in every area). Happy editing, SpencerT♦C 15:44, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Greyton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moravian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Overall both articles look rather decent. However, Martinus Thomsen, at least Martinus_Thomsen#Early_life appears to be a complete copy from [1], which is a copyright violation. Similarly in [2] for the "Ideas and works" section. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste for a quick summary of what that is, and with links for reading. Also, Wikipedia:Paraphrase#How_to_write_acceptable_content gives a good idea of how to integrate in content from other sources. As copyright violations, I've had to (temporarily) blank those sections, but I really encourage you to go back and go through it (using the "How to write acceptable content" link) to rewrite it, add it in so as to make sure it's not a copyright violation. In addition, if there are other chunks of text copied from elsewhere, they need to be removed and rewritten. The high school article seems pretty good (I wasn't able to check it for copyright-related stuff, but if there is information copied from elsewhere, it should be removed and rewritten, as above. Happy editing, SpencerT♦C 15:46, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Deep Down and Dirty.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 22:58, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles on SA music and musicians, such as album Swaar Metaal and band BEAST, for adding images, for example to Port St. Johns and the beauty on your user page, for patrolling new pages and warning in cases of unconstructive edits, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

WOW!!! That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on Wikipedia! In the space of one sentence, you summed up most of the things I am very proud of. I feel incredibly motivated. Thank you, Gerda, you made my day! Robvanvee 20:36, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
