Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Internet. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want.

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:
 * 1) To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and guide to creating your first article.
 * 2) Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * 3) For experiments, please use the sandbox. JohnCD (talk) 12:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
