I see you have been here before, but no one has given you a proper welcome, so&mdash;

Welcome to Wikipedia. Here is some general information you may find useful: click here


 * Be Bold with your edits but also be moderate, check out the policy on NPOV, or neutral point of view and remember to cite your sources. Proper Wikiquette suggests it is a good idea to make a suggestion first on the discussion page of a controversial article before making substantial edits, if you wish to avoid an edit war.  We do not own the material we contribute, so be prepared to have your entries edited mercilessly&mdash; the thought "but it's my article" should never cross your mind.


 * You can find help with editing at How to edit a page including how to do special characters and formatting, and the Manual of Style is also strongly recommended.


 * When most of us start working on Wikipedia or its sister projects we think of them mainly as information resources, but Wikipedia is also an international community. It is a way for us to share and collaborate as we work towards the elusive goal of consensus. Check out the Community portal at the left of any page to find many opportunities to work together.

You should sign your entries on Talk (discussion) pages with four tildes link this: ~, and you can indent your entry in a discussion thread by putting a colon or several  as needed in the left-hand margin. If you put a space as the first character on a line that line will remain unformatted (not recommended).

Happy Editing. --Blainster 8 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)
