Welcome!
The welcome and list of links I drop to all the n00bs I see. A bit cheesy, yeah...

Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some pages you might want to visit:


 * Simplified Ruleset: A simple overview of the guidelines of the Wikipedia community.
 * How to edit a page: Everything you ever really wanted to know about formatting and markup, but were afraid to ask.
 * Manual of style: Now that you know how to edit a page, how should you write in it?
 * What Wikipedia is not: ...and what shouldn't you write in it?
 * Copyrights: What kind of copyrighted content is and isn't allowed on Wikipedia, and what license will your work be under?
 * Sandbox: Here's the place to do editing tests without worrying about messing anything up.
 * Glossary: Words specific to Wikipedia and wiki culture (for example, the tendency to stick "wiki" in front of everything) and frequently used abbreviations that you might encounter.
 * FAQ: Questions and answers about various topics, including technical aspects, copyright, and a general overview of the project.
 * Help desk: Got a question not answered in any of the help materials, or just can't find it (understandable, even for someone who's been around a while)? Ask it here!
 * Village pump: Want to see what's going on around Wikipedia? Here's where people are talking.
 * Community Portal: Just about anything else you as a Wikipedia editor might want to find is linked from here.

Find better proof of Bloodshot's major-label affiliations and we'll remove the indie label reference. But as for now, RIAA association isn't enough. - Stick Fig 21:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There is a history with that particular page of the RIAA putting non-member labels, such as Matador Records, on there as members as a way of boosting up their ranks. For that reason, I wouldn't trust it. That's why I said "find better proof." - Stick Fig 18:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I just did a search on RIAA Radar, linked from the Independent Records article, for "Ryan Adams Heartbreaker," and it came back marked "safe" and non-RIAA affiliated. I think that's enough proof to say that we can keep the phrase in. - Stick Fig 18:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
