I tend to be somewhat active on the worst dramaboards on Wikipedia (mainly AN/I). I started following AN/I and watching editors that are mentioned there way before I started my binge-editing spree. I thought that was the best way to get familiar with the rules, customs and guidelines of Wikipedia, and boy - was I right! =)
While I don't post on AN/I a lot, I read all of it, and follow the trails from there. Some may call it WikiHounding, but I believe that, even now, I still have a lot to learn to get accustomed to the variety of policy interpretations, opinions, and - most importantly - what not to do around here.
I'd encourage every new editor to closely watch AN/I for a month before contributing to any controversial topic. However, here's a handy cheat-sheet:
If you think you have the right to free speech wherever you please, Wikipedia is not for you. You do not have that right.
If something on this website offended you or your beliefs, Wikipedia is not for you. IDGAF about what you're upset with.
If you spent a lot of time there and found a way to circumvent the letter of the rules in your favor against consensus, Wikipedia is not for you. Don't be a WikiLawyer.
