Modified version of User:UtherSRG/newuser, which was a modified version of Angela's welcome message. I hate the opentasks thing, so I've removed it from my version, and added a few more hints/tips.
== Welcome ==
Hello and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia!
You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or editing existing articles: [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]], [[Wikipedia:How to write a great article|How to write a great article]], [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|Naming conventions]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. You should read our [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies]] at some point too.
If you want to see what other users are doing at the moment, have a look at [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. This is a good way to find random articles you might be interested on working on, or you can simply enjoy reading what other wikipedians have to say. Every article has a '''Talk page''' (like this one) where you can raise questions or suggest a direction for an article to take. When you make edits to a page, it's a very good idea to add a few words to the '''summary field''' to let other users know what you just did (anything from ''typo'' to ''rewrote article'')!
If you have any questions, see the [[Wikipedia:Help|help pages]], add a question to the [[Wikipedia:village pump|village pump]] or ask me on [[User_talk:Fabiform|my talk page]]. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]!
*If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in [[Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit|assigning those to your username]].
*You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
*If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the [[Wikipedia:votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] page. There is also a [[Wikipedia:votes for undeletion|votes for undeletion]] page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
Again, welcome! :) ~~~~
