Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Paisanob:

Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia edited by people like me and you. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

And these (I still use the image tutorial):

Don't worry too much about being perfect. None of us are! But for help avoiding common mistakes, you can click here.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator, or, as before, leave a question at the New contributors' help page or the Help desk. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen.

I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know at my personal talk page. Everyone here was new at one time. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!
