Welcome!

Hello, Porterbowman28496967, and Welcome to Wikipedia!   

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Teahouse.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

• The Signpost, our newspaper

Need help?

• Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
• Cheatsheet – quick reference on Wikipedia's mark-up codes
• Wikipedia's 5 pillars – an overview of Wikipedia's foundations

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

However

WP is not a playground. Doing nothing but goofing around can result in bad feelings. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

You have a response to this question. See WP:YFA if you want to make a serious effort to contribute.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:34, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

You should not edit other people's talk page posts to make it look as if they said something they didn't say. See WP:TPO. But you are correct when you say "and you may get kick off".— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:37, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
