 Hello, and Welcome to Wikipedia!  Welcome to Wikipedia, the biggest encyclopedia in the world, ! I hope you enjoy your stay here, but before you start exploring, I would like to point out a few important bits and bobs of information which you will find helpful later.

I'll always be ready to help if you need it, so if you are curious about something, or are stuck in one of the many ravines of the community, just use my talk page to ask me a question. You can also ask around at the village pumps, the help desks, or the new contributors' help page if I'm unavailable.

Additional tips...
