Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Heston Services", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of a commercial business. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * Thanks for the message. Yes, technically Heston Services is a business, but it's also a long-running joke as I explained in my user page; it sounds like a person's name but it's a motorway service area, in Hounslow. I'm not attached to it and quite happy to change, I'll just spend another half an hour trying to find a name that isn't already taken. Heston Services (talk) 17:33, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I requested a global name change, which has been approved. Makgadikgadi (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, Makgadikgadi!
I'm Tesseractic and I want to welcome you to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is an amazing community adventure which is constantly being edited. There are many different versions of Wikipedia for many different languages, and the English version has articles which are written by volunteers like you and me! We even have a newspaper, The Signpost, to keep you up to date with news and new developments. Making your first steps on Wikipedia can be hard sometimes, so if you need any help, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or ask a question on your talk page. Someone will help you soon!

Wikipedia has five pillars which summarise Wikipedia's fundamental principles:
 * 1) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
 * 2) Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
 * 3) Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
 * 4) Editors should treat each other with respect and civility
 * 5) Wikipedia has no firm rules
