Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello BenSlivka, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:

• First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
• Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
• Learn how Articles for deletion works.
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button.
• Provide an Edit summary.
• Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
• Create a User page.
• Be bold.
• Ignore all rules.
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}^TALK• ^EMAIL• 01:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

School Soft

Please stop adding the School Soft artile. It is extremely vague and since it has just started it is not notable enough yet. Academic Challenger 05:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Come to Garfeild High School!

Tomorrow, Saturday June 10, there will be a huge party/all class reunion at Garfield. This is being called the Bash Before the Smash as the building will be hollowed out like the shell of an undercooked marshmallow very shortly. The lower gym, portables, parking lot and football field are being completely razed. The event starts at 10am and is scheduled to run until 3pm. Live music of all kinds by current and former bulldogs will be going on in the Quincy Jones Auditorium starting at 11am. I hope to see you there. (Sorry for sending this out late and if you are no longer in the Seattle area, I apologize for spamming you.) —WAvegetarian•(talk) 23:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
