Hi, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed you have created the Guide to Editing. There are many similar pages such as Help:Editing, Wikipedia:How to edit a page, Wikipedia:Tutorial and Help:Starting a new page. There are also a number of style guidelines - see my post here, where I propose merging some/all of them. I feel that your guide is unnecessary duplication. Please note there is a Welcoming committee which tries to provide notices to new users such as this:
Welcome!

Sorry no one has got around to you previously. I felt you might be trying to create something akin to the message above. I have taken the liberty of changing Guide to Editing to use a table I found on another Wikimedia Foundation site. I like it, but don't quite know where it should go on Wikipedia, and I thought the page would provide a good location (at least temporarily). If you want your page back, revert my changes. Finally, if you are interested in editing the help pages, consider joining the Wikipedia:Help Project. Feel free to talk to me if you need any help whilst editing Wikipedia!

a few helpful pages:
- Welcome page
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- What Wikipedia is not
- Wikipedia policies and guidelines and Wikipedia simplified ruleset
- Assume good faith
- Stay cool and be civil
- While you should be bold with edits, it is best to discuss and draft significant graphical layout overhauls
As always, please let me know if I can help in any way. --mtz206 (talk) 03:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
