Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome!

 * The boxes you see on the side of my user page are called Userboxes. A started list of all the userboxes can be found at User:BigDT/Userbox_Index. This only has the ones up to H. The others I have, I found on others' pages and I have even created two myself. Most all of the boxes are created by a code that looks similiar to this: . The asterisks will be replaced by the category you choose. Here is a tip though, because of The German Solution, please put subst: after the first two braces ( {{ ) as this will cut down on the server load and your computer's load. If this was too confusing, please contact me again and I will try to explain better. --WillMak050389 01:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
