Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I really hope you will enjoy being a Wikipedian here. First thing that you need to know is that we encourage you to be bold. When you want to edit a page, click the edit link, providing that the page is not protected.

Here are a few links that may help you:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * What Wikipedia Is Not

Also, you might want to look at The list of policies and Policies and guidelines to become familiar of the polices and guidelines of Wikipedia.

To sign your name on talk pages, use ~ to leave your signature. If you wish to customise your signature, look here to learn more.

If you require any help, leave a note on my talk page, check here, or place on your talk page and a helper will show up to answer your questions. Ask if you are unsure about anything!

Another thing, if you like to get the hang of using wiki markup, head over to the sandbox and practise.

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia!
