welcome welcome to wikipedia my name is ryan aka i noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet i just wanted to see how you were doing wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first since it uses different formatting than other sites that use html and css in the long run though you'll find that the wikisyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways here are a few links to get you started how to edit a page editing policy conduct and structure tutorial picture tutorial how to write a great article there are a lot of policies and guides to read but i highly recommend reading over those first if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page please be sure to sign your name on talk using four tildes to produce your name and the current date along with a link to your user page this way others know when you left a message and how to find you it's easier than having to type out your name right i hope you enjoy contributing to wikipedia we can use all the help we can get have a nice day sincerely august utc
