Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Simonmacd! Thank you for coming here. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some tips that you might find helpful: But first please go to our class page and sign in with ~
 * You can add links to other articles by putting them in double square brackets
 * You can add pictures from Wikimedia Commons by putting them in thumb for thumbnail|Left right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption
 * Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
 * You can add headings by putting them in ==double square equal signs== and ===subheadings are similar===
 * This then means that you can edit one section of an article while someone else edits another part of the same page.
 * To add a reference first check that is at the end of the article.
 * Then add your reference
 * If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then adding adds the (in)famous "citation needed". If you come back in a week or two and find that no one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.

I hope you enjoy the session and come back to Wikipedia again!

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
