Welcome!
 Hi, Mhastings, and Welcome to Wikipedia!  Welcome to Wikipedia!  I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. Of the many ways to get help on Wikipedia, I personally recommend our wiki-boot camp, where you can chat online with fellow Wikipedians willing to help, or see some of the resources on WP:Wc!

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, on my talk page - I'm happy to help.

--- Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

 * Table of Contents

Need help?

 * Introduction - quick steps to help you get started.
 * Questions - a guide on where to ask questions.

 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). Or use the [[Image:Button sig2.png]] button, on the tool bar.
