ILoveShelling

Welcome to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)

Hello, ILoveShelling, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

• Be Bold!
• Learn from others
• Be kind to others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
• Tell us a bit about yourself
• Our great guide to Wikipedia

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, please come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

Hey! Welcome to you!

Hello ILove Shelling, what a nice surprise to see that you signed up with Wikipedia!!! And thanks for leaving me a message on my talk page, that was pretty cool to come on and see that, what a surprise. As you will see, in your message on my talk page, I took the liberty of putting the Latin name (or scientific name) into italics and giving the species part of the name a small "p"; that's the correct form. And in case it is helpful for you to know, Trivia pediculus has recently been placed into the genus Pusula, so it's now known as Pusula pediculus.

Of course I would like to invite you to join WikiProject Gastropods, but I sort of doubt that you will have enough time online to do very much, since your blog is already very time-consuming.

I've noticed your edits on pages relating to Gastropods; perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Gastropods? If you would like more information, please visit the project page or the project talk page.

All our very best wishes to you and Clark, and Happy Christmas Eve, Invertzoo (talk) 16:35, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
