Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Cottingley Connect
I see that a couple of your contributions -- William Wickham and Cottingley Town Hall -- quote extensively from the Cottingly Connect web site. I assume that you have the right to the material (your user name is something of a hint), but it would be appreciated if you would make an explicit declaration to that effect on the articles' respective talk pages. (Copyright infringement is a continual problem in a project like this, and we need the reassurance.) Thank you. --Paul A 02:42, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

And of course Cottingley itself, if that was you. --Paul A 03:07, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
