Dear MKupperman: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

Also, see the guideline on editing with a conflict of interest. You really shouldn't be adding to your own article, but you can suggest changes on the article's discussion page for others to consider adding. Having said that, for someone's who's done a lot of editing to his own article, you sure haven't added the usual "vanity edits"

Finally, you have some rights as a person with an article on Wikipedia -- take a look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. You're not entitled to a fluffy, all-positive article, but you are absolutely entitled to a neutral, well-sourced article using only sources that meet Wikipedia's"reputable sources guideline".

Again welcome to Wikipedia! --A. B. 22:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
