Welcome, Nicoleksmith! I noticed that you joined the discussion on Affiliation Quebec. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your opinions may be given less weight. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our discussion pages. Our discussion processes value consensus over raw numbers and reasoned debate over simple voting. However, please do make further contributions to Wikipedia and express your opinion on policy matters.

I don't get why it says it is unsigned either. Not a problem though. Don't have to use it. GreenJoe 16:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
