Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Apc0243! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Tom A  8  00:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

The function of the lead section of Wikipedia articles
Hi, you just removed a reliably-cited claim from the lead (summary) section of "The Scouring of the Shire", with the edit comment "Removed the unsourced claim that the scouring of the shire is "called one of the most famous anticlimaxes in literature" - may be re-added if a citation can be provided." The function of the lead section of a Wikipedia article is to summarize the article. As such it is normally not cited, relying instead on the citations in the article body. If you had looked, you would swiftly have found the source for the claim down there in the article text. You might also have remarked that nothing else in the lead was cited either ... All the best, and since this was your (or somebody's, using the same IP address) first edit since 2009, a renewed welcome to Wikipedia. Happy editing, and have a care with that delete button.
