Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Welcome, ! I noticed that you placed a vote on Votes for deletion/Calum Marsh. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote might not be counted. Straw polls on Wikipedia are meant to measure community consensus, and should not necessarily be taken as literal one-member one-vote voting. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our voting systems. However, I encourage you to make further contributions to Wikipedia and to express your opinion on policy matters. --Spinboy 07:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
