User:P.B. Pilhet/My Templates/WelcomeSmile

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hey there, P.B. Pilhet/My Templates, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 6,840,468 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

By the way, I like your "[[{{{1}}}]]" article! It was really well written; good job!

Oh yeah, one last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.

Happy Editing! --
