== Welcome ==

Hello, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]], [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Tutorial]], [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|Naming conventions]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. You should probably read our [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies]] at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|be bold]] in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|politely]]!)

{{msg:Opentask}}

If you have any questions, see the [[Wikipedia:Help|help pages]], add a question to the [[Wikipedia:village pump|village pump]] or ask me on [[User_talk:Finlay McWalter|my talk page]]. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]!

You may have already noticed that you can sign your name using three tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too, as I've done below. This is mostly useful, and is considered good [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette|wikiquette]], on talk pages. But be aware that the actual wikipedia articles should never be signed - they belong to the community, rather than the individual who created them.

Again, welcome! -- ~~~~
