Welcome

Hello, AshdownAnne, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

In case you don't feel like reading all of of the above links right now, just keep the following in mind and you'll avoid most trouble on this site.

In addition to the tutorial linked in TRPoD's welcome message, Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a tutorial that seems to produce competent and confident editors (based on what I've seen of users who have gone through it, I haven't done it myself since I've been here for far too long). I'll add your talk page to my watchlist (a common practice after someone leaves a message), so I can (hopefully) see if you've got any questions or if any other issues come up.
