Welcome!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Learn about what we are trying to do by reading the five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style. See if you can write a great article!
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Read the Policies and guidelines.
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * If you don't know what to do or how to do something, there are lots of guides at the Help portal.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. If you ever get bored, or don't know how to help, visit the ToDo List at Community Portal. There are millions of jobs to be done, article to be improved, written, deleted, images added or edited, and groups/clubs to join!

If you have any questions, or just want a chat, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
