Hi, Yoopernewsman. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.
Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck!

Anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it.
Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Besides that, you shouldn't feel nervous or anything about a good-willed contribution. If you're concerned, talk to us
When you're ready, start your first article using the
Article Wizard. You don't HAVE to use it, but for your first article it really helps. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. If you'd like more guidance, you guessed it, talk to us
.
Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. (You'll want to sign your name with these four tildes ~~~~ when you leave something on a talk page to help know who you are!)
Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!
Thank you JoeSmack - for talking me through my first upload myself - now I have at least two pixs on Wikipedia - more to come as I get comfortable. Yoopernewsman (talk) 21:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)YoopernewsmanYoopernewsman (talk) 21:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply
