Welcome!
Hi,, Welcome  to Wikipedia! Hello, and welcome to the ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many administrators around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry&mdash;you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it! ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;). Using the four tildes to sign your sig is policy whenever you make comments on a talk page or vote on something.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * You should also consider (if you have not already) creating a user page for yourself, to tell us a bit about you. Don't worry if it's small at first -- most people tend to grow their user pages over a period of time, much like Wikipedia articles. Don't expect everything to happen all at once!
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. If you think a page should be moved to a different title, please list it at requested moves.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any problems or questions. Alternatively, you can place  ""  on your user talk page (this page), and someone will arrive shortly to answer your questions. Good luck, and happy wiki-ing!

ŋ== Answers to your questions == Hi, Daffy! I'll try to answer your questions. I hope I've answered your questions! If you have any more, or need assistance of any kind, drop me a line on my talk page any time! Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! —BorgHunter (talk) 02:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Where did you see that you can't edit user pages? You can edit all sorts of user pages! See User page for more info.
 * 2) Our sandbox is a place where you can make "test edits" to get a feel for Wikipedia and/or certain features of it, without fear of making other people mad for messing up nice, clean articles. ;) A description of it is located at About the Sandbox.
 * 3) Pictures are easy! The basic format is [[Image:Filename.ext|size|other attributes]] For example, I created the image on the right using the following code: [[Image:Smiley.svg|100px|thumb|right|Hi, Daffy!]], which is basically filename|size|thumbnail (so it floats in a little box)|alignment|caption. See Help:Images and other uploaded files for more info.
 * 4) Barnstars are even easier. You can give barnstars out for anything, there are no restrictions. Barnstars has more info on them, including a list of all the different kinds.
 * 5) Edit summaries are basically a small summary of what your edit has done. For example, my edit summary here is "Welcome and answer questions", as I put that welcome template up there on your page and answered your questions. You should always use edit summaries, and it's helpful to be descriptive but concise. More info is at Help:Edit summary.

Thanks
