Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Just a few quick tips:
 * Our Tutorial explains how to edit; you can experiment in the test area.
 * We have help pages, and if they don't help (can happen :-), post a question at the Help Desk.
 * Remember that we strive to have unbiased articles.
 * Eventually, you might want to read our Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Use the "Preview" button below the edit box! It helps you catch layout, format, and spelling errors before saving.
 * To sign your messages (to talk pages, for instance&mdash;like I do below), add four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to your posts. The software will replace them by your signature and a time stamp when you save the page.

Anyway, have fun improving this encyclopedia! Lupo 09:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Adminship
Please note that adminship is never granted to new editors. One needs to have been here for a while, learned the ropes and acquired the trust of the community to actually be accepted as an admin. Actually posting this RFA self-nomination you're painstakingly putting together would be a major faux pas, and the nomination would most probably be removed rather quickly as non-serious. It might also compromise any future attempt of yours to become an admin, should you so desire. Lupo 09:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
