Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there, Johncarter1, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 1,889,797 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:


 * You might want to check out the welcome page.
 * Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
 * After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to [ leave me a message], or you can put  on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~) to automatically sign your name.

Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilhet  21:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
