Welcome to the Wikipedia![edit]

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Barefootmatt! Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Barefootmatt, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 20:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not if you are interested in it, but I have filed an Request for Arbitration against Marcosantezana Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#User:Marcosantezana here because of the continued unworkable situation at Natural selection. --KimvdLinde 21:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
