[edit] June 2007
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Bollock conker. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. Thank you.

[edit] Welcome!
Hello, Maxb80, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- 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.
I hope this welcome offsets the rather brusque warning about inappropriate pages above! If your page is deleted, you might like to have a look at this page which may suggest why. If you need more help, click on the bit after my signature that says (talk to me!)
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place{{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! —Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 19:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Bollock conkers) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. NawlinWiki 17:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
