Welcome!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Bridiebereza, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some tips to get you started:

• It's pretty simple: Don't be a dick, remain neutral, cite your sources, and ignore all rules.

• Edit a page by clicking 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page.
• Use the Wikipedia sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.
• Sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date.
• Cite your sources using <ref></ref> tags. For example, type <ref>Example reference. http://www.example.com. Accessed January 1, 1900.</ref> to produce this tag:

• To create an article, use the article wizard.
• Consider joining a WikiProject, such as the Biography WikiProject.
• Use two apostrophes for italic text (''italic text''), three apostrophes for bold text ('''bold text'''), five apostrophes for bold and italic text ('''''Bold and italic text'''''), two brackets for an internal link ([[page name]]), two brackets and a pipe (|) for an internal link with different text to be displayed ([[page name|text to be displayed]]), the link, including the http:// prefix, for external links (http://www.example.com), one bracket and a space for an external link with different text to be displayed ([http://www.example.com Text to be displayed]), and two curly brackets for {{templates}}. See this page for more formatting marks.
