Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Product Submission
I saw your note at the Help Desk about product submission. I wanted to make sure and give you an answer here, as well as at the help desk.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. While we do often have articles about products, we only include products that are so well known (such as Coca-Cola or Microsoft Windows) that someone might want to read an encyclopedia article about them. We don't accept articles on any subject that is not encyclopedic; while someone might want to research a software application, it is unlikely they would be looking for the sort of information that is included in an encyclopedia. One of our official policies, What Wikipedia Is Not, specifically prohibits advertising. If you would like to leave a note at my talk page, I'd be happy to help you find a software-specific reference page that you could list your software on.

I hope this helps, and that you will stay and edit with Wikipedia. -- Essjay ·  Talk 12:43, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
