Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there,, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 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. Pilh e  t  /  Talk  18:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

re Vampire Beach Babes
Uh, we get articles on everybody's garage band, and so maybe we have a quick trigger, but this article is likely to get deleted unless you point out that they've toured internationally and so forth. The words "MySpace page" in the opening sentence is like a red flag to a bull for our non-notable-band patrollers. See WP:MUSIC for our standards for notability. Also, you might want to check out an existing band article and copy the band infobox to this article, for better Wikiformatting. Cheers and happy editing, Herostratus 19:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
