I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!  Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 00:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way, just in case you're wondering, typing "hello" on your talk page doesn't automatically give you a welcome message. I just happened to notice. :) Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 00:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

thank you for the welcome message. That was extremely fast! Nrwilk 02:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! As for how I noticed so quickly, I was scanning the list of recent changes for all of Wikipedia to check for any obviously harmful edits. (This is known as recent changes patrolling.) I was also using an editing program designed to check recent changes for that purpose, and I just happened to notice your "hello" message on your talk page.

Also, in response to your message on my talk page, you really don't have to read that much before you start editing. Really, you'll be fine just scanning the five pillars page and looking at how to edit a page whenever you need help with syntax or formatting. And if you make a mistake, it's no big deal, we've all done that. We even have a policy about it: Don't bite the newcomers!. Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 21:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Have a welcome from me too. I fixed the link on my User page.--Rjstott 12:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
