I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using 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 {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!
By the way, you mentioned not being able to access non-standard characters when editing. In future, when you're on the edit screen, scroll down to the bottom of the page. Immediately under the Save Page button you'll find a box with various symbols, including characters with diacritical marks, highlighted in blue. If you click on one of them, it will be inserted wherever in the edit box your cursor is at that point. Have fun. -- Karenjc 22:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
