ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

edit

Hi again,

I noticed your first edit was to Christopher Guinness; given your user name, if you actually are the subject, then please read the policy Wikipedia:Autobiography.

You haven't done anything wrong - changing the pic is fine, I think - I'm just trying to head off any potential problems :-)

And, if you have no conflict of interest, then please disregard this notice. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  14:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
