[edit] Welcome {{{user}}}

Hi there {{{user}}}. Welcome to Wikipedia, its always good to see new users. You might also like to put a short introduction on your [[User:{{{user}}}|user page]] so that other wikipedians can get to know you.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.. Signing your name is important on talk pages because it helps people get in touch with you. Also remember to indent each of your comments using : so that other users can follow the flow of discussions

As well as editing wikipedia you could also think about taking part in many other essential activities that make wikipedia a friendly place. For example you could welcome new users to wikipedia (for this you are could use my welcome templates here) or you could try mediating discussions between other users. There are loads of other options at the Wikipedia:Community Portal.
Some links to get you started in the community:
  • The new users Welcome page is a good place to start.
  • Wikipedia:Tutorial runs through all the basics of editing an article and using Wikipedia.
  • Wikipedia:Help has a broad range of general help topics you may find useful.

If you have any questions or just want to chat then leave a message on my talk page and I'll answer as soon as possible. Happy editing,
