Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

You might also find these policies and guidelines useful:
 * What do we mean if we say that you might have a Conflict of Interest?
 * What do we mean by Neutral Point of View?
 * What sources are counted as reliable?
 * What makes the subject of an article notable?
 * Why was my page deleted?
 * An essay containging a List of bad article ideas

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!

If you have any questions, just click on the Contact Me link after my signature at the end of this section. Alternatively, check out Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question.

By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add  at the end of your comment. That will put your user name and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the  icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.

 * Incidently, please do not add yourself to articles, as you did on List of fetish artists.
 * I would suggest that you read the conflict of interest guidelines - as you would have a clear conflict of interest if you try to write about yourself: it is not forbidden, but it is strongly discouraged, as it can be hard to write using a neutral point of view as required by Wikipedia.
 * If you think that you meet the notability guidelines (and especially the notability guidelines for individuals), then you can Requested Articles and ask for one to be created. Please try to provide some reliable, independent sources of information about yourself (ideally national/international newspapers or magazines, academic works (which have been peer-reviewed), etc.
 * If you have any other questions, just follow the instructions above which say how to get help. Regards, --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 18:54, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
