W e l c o m e !
Hi there, , and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes  log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:
 * If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~&#126;), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page
 * The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
 * You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions , ask me on my  talk page , or place   on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 04:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Matt's mum article
Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Matt's mum) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 22:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
