[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear DA Tardis: welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:
Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.
One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 20:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it okay to add a picture?
- That depends on the copyright licence of the picture. Wikipedia can only accept images (and text, for that matter, but it comes up less often) which are licenced under a free use licence (except in some special cases). If you're adding a picture that you own the copyright to (for instance, one you made yourself), you can licence it in a way that Wikipedia can use by selecting one of the self-made licences on the 'upload file' form; if you don't own the copyright and you don't know the licence, it probably isn't a legally usable image. See Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Image tutorial for more information. --ais523 13:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Userboxes
- First of all, read mine at Lradrama.
- Then, go to Wikipedia:User boxes.
- In the pale blue contents box, select Gallery.
- There you'll find different sections relating to different types of userboxes; sift through them at leisure.
- You'll see that the example user box is listed at the right hand side of things, with the code in the {{ }} brackets to the left.
- Highlight the code using the left mouse button, and right click and select COPY.
- Go to your userpage, edit, go under one of your existing user boxes (not userbox bottom) and paste it (Edit - Paste). Repeat and repeat and repeat. Lradrama 10:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User page content
I know I seem a real kill-joy in saying this, but if you read Wikipedia:Userpages, you'll find that excessive amounts on non-Wikipedia related material is frowned upon. You've got rather a lot of stuff that isn't Wikipedia-related, so I'll advise you not to put any more on.
I know I myself have some stuff on about me, but I'm not going to add any more, and what's there may well get condensed in the not-too-distant future.
Just thought I'd point that out before people come knocking... Lradrama 18:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I've got rid of some 'excessive non-Wikipedia related information' off my user page now. Lradrama 19:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
