Girl, welcome to Wikipedia! I know I've already cut-and-paste the above welcome, but I wanted to extend a more personal one. Thanks for your suggestion for Steve's article; you might have already seen that I made the change there. If you need any editing assistance, please don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else. I've found that most committed editors are more than helpful. I'm sure that you'll get past some of the confusing tags, etc.--that's part of the fun! And there are plenty of resources on WP, as I've included above. Please, please be bold; it adds to the collaborative nature of the encyclopedia and what it's all about. I have to admit that copyediting is one of my weaknesses as an editor, so I depend upon folks such as yourself to go behind what I've done and improve them. So keep up the good work! --Figureskatingfan (talk) 18:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea how to reply! ugh! So I'll do it this way. Thanks for the welcome! I hope I can put my OCD to good use by finding small things that are out of order and correcting them. :) I admit I had to look up the rules of punctuation in the "Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation" because I almost submitted another "fix". Turns out my "fix" would have been wrong, and I re-learned something I probably learned a long time ago. I've come to wikipedia many, many times in the past but haven't gotten into the "how it all works" mode; so that's my next task: to read up on the hows and whys and stuff! Thanks again, and have a good day! A2thGirl (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
