Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]
Welcome!

Hello, Silent Mime, and Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw some of your recent edits and I think you'll be a great contributor. As Wikipedia states on its Main Page, it's the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. It currently has 6,914,544 articles, though this number is self-updating and goes up each day. If you really like it here, you might want to make a donation to Wikipedia, as it is a non-profit organization. You might also consider joining one of Wikipedia's sister projects. Have a nice time, and don't let the grumpy users scare you off!

Useful Links/Policy

Wikipedia has a lot of policy that you should or must follow. Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes is a good place to start off, and so is this. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines gives a good overview on policy. Wikipedia:Vandalism is the policy on Wikipedia vandalism, and the blocking policy tells you what you have to do to get blocked. Wikipedia:Sockpuppets has the general guidelines on sockpuppeting. Wikipedia:Userboxes has a directory of userboxes, which some users disagree with but I personally like. Wikipedia:New contributors' help page is a good place to get help from more experienced editors, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions will help you with your first article. There is a lot more, but you can find it out on your own.

Words of farewell

I hope this information hasn't overwhelmed you. As you become more experienced, maybe you'll take my shoes and welcome new users like I'm doing right now. Keep up the great editing, and maybe, someday, you'll reach up and attain the rank of administrator! If you need more information, there are a variety of kind users that can help you, and if you ever need any real help, just put {{helpme}} on your talkpage, and someone will be there in a few minutes! Don't be shy to ask a question; all of us were new at some point, and even I ask questions! If you have a question for me, don't hesitate to give me a yell!
