Welcome, Bowsling, to the Former countries WikiProject! You have just become part of an editorial group that focuses on improving Wikipedia's coverage of former country articles. Now that you've joined, the first thing you should do for our cause is add the {{User WPFC}} template to your userpage. Once you have, we will recognize your support with a 
before your name on the members list!
- Being an official member of our team now, you really should introduce yourself on the members' talk page.
- If you have any questions in the meantime, pose them on the WikiProject's talk page. A more experienced WPFC member, perhaps even myself, will respond to any as quickly as possible.
- Do you consider yourself a very experienced writer of Wiki markup? Let the whole project know by giving yourself a rating from between
and 
on the members' list! (5 means more experienced than Jimmy Wales) - Still daunted by the layout? Familiarize yourself with the WikiProject by surfing through our Navigation box. You will notice some pretty neat statistics that might actually help you start off with editing.
- If you're still not ready for anything big, the To do list has some articles that practically need no preparation to begin on. The Infobox maintenance section especially. It's articles like these that are dying for your skills!
- Is this advice all but too juvenile for you? I understand. It's hard being that talented. Just remember to tag the talk pages of those new articles you've been creating with our project's template {{WPFC}}.
- Not to bore you again with our talk page, but it is actually where most of our important discussions take place. You may find it useful to watchlist it.
- Be sure to take care and read any explanations we've posted around the WikiProject about its features. But, most of all, try to get to bed on time. However... if sleep is some thing of the past for you, then, by all means, join one of our subprojects, too!
I welcome and thank you again, Bowsling, for joining this project,
Sincerely,
