User talk:CaptainAlec

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for joining our community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. First thing: be bold! Editors are always happy to correct or revert mistakes and discuss changes with which they disagree. Here are some links you might find useful:


 * The tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article

And for more detailed information:


 * Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia - our principles, or how to get on with other editors
 * Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.

You can also check out the community portal, which has lots of ideas on how you can help Wikipedia.

All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Where to ask a question. One last thing: please sign your name when leaving messages for others on article and user talk pages using (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. I hope you enjoy editing! --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 20:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
