Welcome to Wikipedia! edit
Dear Sirenianman: 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:
- Five Pillars of Wikipedia

- How to revert to a previous version of a page
- Tutorial

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 dicussion 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!
I added a couple of "tags" (message boxes) to the article you contributed, An Elixir for Existence. To meet Wikipedia's guidelines, it needs some context (what is this, who did it, etc.). It also needs some links to other articles and should be added to at least one category. If you follow the links on the message, they'll lead you to additional information on what Wikipedia looks for.Also, some may question whether the album described is "notable" enough -- see Wikipedia:Notability for the guideline. This should be helped by linking to the article about the band, which has already had its own article for several months.
Just some links, a category and a couple of sentences should suffice for now.
Anyway, this is just advice -- I don't want to sound nit-picky and I hope you'll keep contributing to Wikipedia.
