Welcome message
Hi NAMEGOESHERE, and welcome to Wikipedia.
Thanks for finding the time to contribute to our little project. Here are some pages you might find helpful:
- Welcome, newcomers - a general introduction, and a good starting point
- The help centre and the FAQs
- The Manual of Style - a guide to the community's writing style
And some quick tips:
- When discussing something on a talk page, you can sign your name by typing four tildes after your comments, like this: ~~~~
- Remember to use the 'Show preview' function before saving a page
- It's also a good idea to sign the new user log and add a little about yourself
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me at my talk page, or at the Help desk or the Village Pump.
Above all, make sure you be bold when contributing, and have fun!
