 == Your message == 

 Hello!  Thanks for your message.  In answer to your questions: 

 I saw that your Talk page showed up red, meaning that it had never had any content.  That usually means a new user, so I checked your contributions, found that indeed you were, and left you the Welcome message.  You've done nothing wrong (if you had, you'd have received a different message...), it's just what it says — a welcome with some tips and advice. 

 I'm a member of the Welcoming Committee, though in fact any editor can welcome new Users.  I'm also an admin. (or 'sysop'), which essentially means that I'm an ordinary editor with a few extra powers (like deleting pages, blocking people from editing, etc.) that I use to deal with vandalism and other misbehaviour, and to help editors with problems. 

 I hope that that relieves your anxiety.  Have fun editing!  You belong here as much as anyone else, so feel free to raid the fridge, use the microwave, and  do the washing up.    "
