Hello Pentb and
welcome to
Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you.
Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to
be civil by following
simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to
ignore all rules.
If you want to learn more,
Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:
Help
FAQ
Glossary
Manual of Style
Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the
random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the
Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are
Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the
cleanup,
welcoming, and
counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki
projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on
my talk page. Again, welcome! --

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.-- Birdmessenger 19:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
