Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified! Based on your pre-1700 ancestors, it looks like your going to be working on profiles that fall under the Scotland Project.
Project participation is strongly encouraged, so check out the project and add the Scotland tag to your profile. That way you'll see all of their discussions in your G2G Feed and any changes to related pages.
Have questions? Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Don't forget to ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
In case you haven't seen it, our G2G Question of the week is:
Any tidbits of information you've discovered to pass down to the next generation?
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
Have Fun!

Welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has useful links that will get you started.
WikiTree is different because we have One Big Tree. Our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a single collaborative team. Our Honor Code is the key.
When you confirm your email address, you'll have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree, beginning with tags for your own profile. Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.
If you decide to volunteer, a greeter will confirm your membership. After signing the Honor Code, you'll be able to add new profiles to the tree.

P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
