Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. --James 16:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you were new, and wanted to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

One thing we like to tell newcomers is to be bold! By this we mean don't be afraid to join the rest of us in improving the articles you see here. Most Wikipedians are friendly and patient, willing to give you the same respect you give them, no matter who they are or how long they've been here. Still, some newcomers find that it's also good to be cautious. You may want to start out small and learn the ropes by fixing typos or just browsing. If so, that's okay, too. If you spot an error on a page, go ahead and fix it! If it's a big edit or a controversial issue, you may want to look at the article's talk page to see if the issue has been discussed in the past. It's important to cite references and set personal points of view aside.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Kafziel 20:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
