[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Rick 50000, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:
- First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
- Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
- Learn how Articles for deletion works.
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button.
- Provide an Edit summary.
- Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
- Create a User page.
- Be bold.
- Ignore all rules.
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL•21:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Derek Martin
Regarding Derek Martin, please don't place vandalism warnings on articles, it is pointless and constitutes vandalism if done intentionally. —WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL•21:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your efforts at reverting the vandalism and your attempt to notify the editor that it was out of line. I hadn't understood what you were doing before. If you wish to leave a vandalism warning, do so on the vandal editor's talk page. You can find out who made that edit by looking in the history and using the compare versions tool. Sorry I didn't give you the above welcome earlier. I hope you continue your efforts to combat vandalism. If you are interested you might check out the Wikipedia:Counter Vandalism Unit, where some editors collaborate on combatting vandalism.—WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL•21:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Canon Rock (music)
I have nominated Canon Rock (music), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canon Rock (music). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
