Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

I like the Ossian (band) article - I formatted the Discography, put a Category:Scottish musical groups link and an "expand this" notice in. I replied to your thanks on my talk page then noticed you hadn't been welcomed so here's the rest of the stuff I greet newcomers with...

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.

You might like some of these links and tips:
 * some General guidance.
 * Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page

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 have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 11:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC).

Thanks for all of the above. It's all becoming a bit clearer. A pity that my first contribution involved a faulty disambiguation page, Still that's how you learn. Now I know how to do discographies! Thanks, --Paw42 13:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome. That was just one of many hundreds of articles that were vandalised in a serious attack by the squidward vandal, using a range of open proxies. A whole lot of people pitched in to help revert it all, and it was all gone within ten minutes. The open proxies have now been indefinitely blocked. Snottygobble 22:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
