Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Adrenalynn75, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world! To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has 1,416,749 articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial (this is really great for getting used to editing Wikipedia)
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Also, don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! It might be a good idea to read this to see how you can avoid making common mistakes, though.

Just to give you a really basic overview so you don't make any mistakes early:
 * 1) Wikipedia keeps a neutral point of view policy, meaning that all contributions must not be biased one way or the other. Even if both biases are presented, it is still not allowed on Wikipedia.
 * 2) Only public domain resources can be copied directly to Wikipedia without permission — this does not include most web pages.
 * 3) Be bold! In my opinion, this may be Wikipedia's most important policy.  Go ahead and edit a page!  Don't worry about "ruining" other's work, this is a wiki!  (Of course, major changes should probably be proposed on talk pages to achieve consensus, but don't be scared!)

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please always sign your name on talk pages (but not articles!) using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the time and date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! — Mets501 ( talk ) 18:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Contiki
Your edits to Contiki Tours have been removed. Please read Wikipedia's position on articles as advertising. The changes you made make it seem more like an advertisement than an encyclopaedia entry. Already, some people consider the article appears to much like an advertisement, and the article came close to permanent deletion. We would welcome more contributions about the history of the company from you, but it has to be encyclopaedic. --Limegreen 21:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Contiki_1961.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Contiki_1961.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
