From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, and welcome to wikipedia. I just discovered I had a namesake, so thought I would just say hello, and discovered I was the first to post here. If anyone leaves a mesage, then next time you edit a little note pops up to tell you. Generally, people reply by posting on the other person's chat page, if they want to of course, so then the other person gets a note. This leads to very one sided conversations on each page, but there it is.

Traditionally, first visitors leave helpfull notes here with handy tips. Frequently, the advice to newcomers is BE BOLD. Newcomes are often very cautious about doing anything, and need a bit of encouragement. Or, they are the sort who don't care and write junk over everything. This sort get moaned at a lot. Some people leaving welcome messages give links to handy pages explaining about wiki. There are lots of these pages, and sadly the number of 'rules' is growing all the time. So my advice is be bold, but be polite, and think about what other editors are trying to do to improve an article, and maybe how it can help with anything you are trying to do.
