User talk:Tom Spouse

Before you start, you may find it helpful to read the simple rules of the Wikipedia community. The rules are not complicated, but are essential to building an interactive community.

Here are a few other links you might find helpful:

• Wikipedia Tutorial
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Be Bold!
• Meet other new users
• Learn from others
• Play nicely with others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!

There are many resources available to new users in need of help. A few of them are:

• New contributors' help page
• Where to ask a question
• Help Desk
• Frequently Asked Questions

We are happy to have you here at Wikipedia, the world’s largest encyclopedia, and sincerely hope you will stay and help us make this great project even greater.

I noticed you made a page about yourself, which I moved to your user page. Generally there is a standard of notability on Wikipedia which discourages users from writing articles about themselves. You are welcome, however, to put whatever you want about yourself on your userpage.

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Lastly, you can sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

Good luck! - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 15:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
