Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thank you for your welcoming message on my talk page. Back in 2010 I received a "welcome" after I'd made about two edits - it's at User talk:John of Reading/Archive 1#Welcome now - and it was a great encouragement and helped me to get hooked on Wikipedia editing. A couple of tips: please sign your welcome message by following it with four tildes (~~~~), so that your recipients know who has welcomed them; and be prepared for your recipients to come here and ask you questions. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
