Welcome!

Hello, Fredlonsdale, I am ZappaZ, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to Wikipedia.

Editing articles in Wikipedia can be a very rewarding experience. Just become acquainted with some basic information on what Wikipedia is, and how the community works. You can start by reading The five pillars of Wikipedia, to orient yourself.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay and contribute to build the best encyclopedia ever, here are a few good links for you:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

(By the way, please be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name.)

If you have any questions, you can post to the help desk or ask me on my talk page. I will be happy to assist you.

Again, welcome! --ZappaZ 02:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
