Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

To answer your question, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not unlike a physical encyclopedia, but with many more topics. The material covering a topic is called an article. These vary in length but are all much shorter than most books.

There is a related project, called Wikibooks, which does have free online books. You may have noticed that the word "Wikibooks" in the previous sentence is highlighted. If you click your mouse on it, you will be taken to an article that describes the project.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Peter Chastain (talk) 07:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
