Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the release of two new GuidedTours—we now have interactive tutorials for editing items and for editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours portal. Go ahead and try them out, and please share with others who may be interested. Feedback can be left on the portal talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Tours —I'm also planning on conducting some user testing with people who are not already familiar with Wikidata.
I'm very excited to see these live and would like to extend a large **thank you** to Bene* who worked with me to implement the tours! We have a few more tours planned and I really hope they'll be helpful for getting new users comfortable and confident with editing.
cheers, Helen (aka Thepwnco)

Thank you so much Helen and Bene*! I am so happy to see another piece fall into place of the plan to make Wikidata easier to use and understand.
