I encourage you to edit this encyclopedia, helping to make it as good as we possibly can. I think you will enjoy seeing your contributions take their place within. I hope you will join the community of regular contributors who identify as Wikipedians! And consider it a proud association. We are proud to welcome you with optimism.
