User:MarkS/Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you were new and have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community. I hope you like this place and want to stay.

Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first but don't worry go ahead and make those edits however small. If you make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you.

Here are a few links to get you started:


 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Simplified Ruleset
 * How to edit a page
 * Manual of Style

And remember:
 * Be Bold!,
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off.,
 * Learn from others,
 * Play nicely with others, and
 * Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.


 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
 * If you need help then edit your talk page (click "my talk" at the top right of the screen and then "edit this page") and enter   then click "save page" further down the screen and somebody will be along soon. -- Mark  S  (talk) 15:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
