Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear : Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Stifle 11:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Genipa Plant.jpg

 * As you can see above, there is a problem with the Genipa photo. You mentioned, "taken by a friend", but then this friend would be employed by the National Botanical Gardens in Havana, since this photo was taken from the page : . If this is so, you have to obtain his permission to upload this photo under the copyright rules of Wikipedia. If not, then this image will be deleted shortly. Anyway, I thank you for your efforts trying to provide me with a requested image. If you have questions, regarding these copyrights, see Copyrights or ask me. JoJan 20:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
