From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, Jay Resop, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

And I hope the if there as some incivility on both sides here in the NMC AfD that you won't get a skewed perception of Wikipedia as a whole. The thing that (to me) is the central misunderstanding that leads to a lot of the nastyness is that the job of the encyclopeia isn't to judge quality. People see "delete" and they read "because it sucks", which isn't the intent at all. But welcome aboard, and thanks for your open and honest comments on the AfD.
