Welcome to Wikipedia
Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Lariba! My name is Andrew, aka Brisvegas. I see that you're new and just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started. You don't HAVE to read them, but if you're bored, give 'em a glance:


 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial - include source info - most online pics aren't free and can't be used on Wikipedia!
 * How to write a great article

If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you.

Wikipedia is more than an encyclopedia, it's a community. One place you can join 2 weeks (and with at least 150 edits) after registering is Esperanza, whose members seek to help each other out.

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia as much as we do. We can use all the help we can get! Enjoy yourself. All the best, Brisvegas 10:27, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
