Welcome to Wikipedia, Fetchcomms! I am [[User:Fetchcomms|]] and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time. I just wanted to say "Hi!" and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some important pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction

But don't forget to:

- Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
- Tell us a bit about yourself
- Our great guide to Wikipedia
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh, and when you post on talk pages you should always sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post (AKA your signature). If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, visit the help chat, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! ~~

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but I highly recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (Fetchcomms) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! fetchcomms☛ 02:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
