Hi Lpotto, 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 me at my talk page — I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

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

Finding your way around:

• Table of Contents

• Department directory

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
• The Simplified Ruleset — a summary of Wikipedia's most important rules.

How you can help:

• Contributing to Wikipedia — a guide on how you can help.

• Community Portal — Wikipedia's hub of activity.

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 the Sandbox is for you.

Good luck, and have fun. --Wassupwestcoast (talk) 16:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Two little things

Just two little things...

1) it's best not to delete other people's comments on the talk page. The better way to go about things is to inform them when you think you've addressed the issue, and allow them to strike them out themselves, if they agree.

2) I notice that you haven't been including edit summaries. That can be very useful, so that when you look at a page history you know what they've done, and why. Like here for instance. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 03:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
