Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Barrett, aka Barrettmagic.

I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:


 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over these first.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my Barrettmagic talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name!

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! -- Barrettmagic 18:12, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
