Welcome!
Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some pages you might want to visit:
 * Simplified Ruleset: A simple overview of the guidelines of the Wikipedia community.
 * How to edit a page: Everything you ever really wanted to know about formatting and markup, but were afraid to ask.
 * Manual of style: Now that you know how to edit a page, how should you write in it?
 * What Wikipedia is not: ...and what shouldn't you write in it?
 * Sandbox: Here's the place to do editing tests without worrying about messing anything up.
 * Copyrights: What kind of copyrighted content is and isn't allowed on Wikipedia, and what license will your work be under?
 * Glossary: Words specific to Wikipedia and wiki culture (for example, the tendency to stick "wiki" in front of everything!) and frequently used abbreviations that you might encounter.
 * FAQ: Questions and answers about various topics, including technical aspects, copyright, and a general overview of the project.
 * Help desk: Got a question not answered in any of the help materials, or just can't find it (understandable, even for someone who's been around a while)? Ask it here!
 * Village pump: Want to see what's going on around Wikipedia? Here's where people are talking.
 * Community Portal: Just about anything else you as a Wikipedia editor might want to find is linked from here.

If you haven't already, check out the various groups of Wikipedians. Also, remember to sign your name on Talk pages (but not articles) with "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" to leave your signature and a timestamp. Thanks for your contributions so far, and happy editing!
