User talk:Chowne

Welcome!
 Hi,, and Welcome to Wikipedia!  Welcome to Wikipedia!  I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. Of the many ways to get help on Wikipedia, I personally recommend our wiki-boot camp, where you can chat online with fellow Wikipedians willing to help, or see some of the resources on WP:Wc!

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, on my talk page - I'm happy to help.

--- Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

Need help?
