Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Portal talk:Current events‎. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Welcome from a volunteer mentor (a real person)
Hello Todd, as part of the current WikiGuides trial program, I've been given a list of 10 new editors to contact and offer to assist. Wikipedia can be frustrating to start out with, and there are a ton of long policy documents, technical discussion, and such that can be alienating. That said, a lot of the basics aren't too bad, and a lot of the bumps are easier with someone to help you roll with them. I see you had a little trouble posting on the Current Event portal, feel free to write me at any point with any question by hitting the "Talk" button in my signature and posting on my Talk page. Give me a shout, MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
