Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Originalandnew: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Stifle (talk) 21:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

TV3 Medford Page
Wikipedia is being used by the television station, Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. (under the alias TV3 Medford, which the Wikipedia page is titled) to promote information that is not factual. A public access station belongs to the people who fund it, not the "non-profit" which has a temporary agreement to oversee the facility. In Medford, Massachusetts the non-profit has a long history of conflict of interest, an entrenched board of directors who refuse to hold a city wide election for the station, a board which has been audited and evaluated by a retired judge (at the request of the city). Notice how the page has many "contributions" which are self-serving rather than encyclopedia-styled information found on other Public Access TV stations. Here are some helpful links:
