Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site o r promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. — Feezo (Talk) 14:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

External linking

With regards to the above canned message, I wish to stress that there is nothing objectionable about the site you're linking to, and that it does appear to be a useful resource. However, Wikipedia policy is pretty strict about linking to sites one is affiliated with. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, it's recommended to discuss links to such sites on talk pages. — Feezo (Talk) 14:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Your username

Hello Dr Wolfe. I'm sorry but I have had to block your account. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow email addresses to be used as usernames. Under criteria 4 of the inappropriate usernames section of the username policy, "e-mail addresses or web page addresses are generally considered likely to be promotional." Selecting a different username will also protect you from spam as your email address would have been visible on every page every time you made a talk page contribution. However, I would like to assure you that we welcome your contributions and I hope you will select a different username which conforms to policy. If you require assistance, have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to leave a message here on your talk page or you may email me via this link or via Wikipedia's unblock list (unblock-en-l@wikipedia.org).
