	Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there, Jonroot! I'm glad you decided to register a new account here on Wikipedia. We're always looking for new editors to help improve the project, because believe me, there's always something to be done! Wikipedia often seems very large to newcomers (it did to me, at least), so I've put together this little guide to help you get started. I hope this helps, and as always, happy editing!

Some Quick Tips Don't be afraid to make mistakes - Be Bold! That's how things get done, and there is always someone around to help you out if you need it. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages, like this one. You can click this button on your editing toolbar, or just type in four tildes (~~~~) That way, people know who they're talking to and who to go to if they have a question for you. Take some time to read a few of the help files, especially if you're new to Wikimarkup. Knowing the basics can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. I've provided some of these pages, as well as some common policies, at right. If you ever have a question, there are plenty of places to ask! You can come talk to me, add the code {{helpme|your question}} to your talk page here, post a question on the talk page of the article you have a question about, or post something on the Help Desk or Reference Desk. Check out the ways to get involved below - each of these suggestions are good ways for a new editor to get involved in the Wikipedia project. Most importantly, get out there and edit! Thanks again for signing on!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Randy Moss, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Inappropriate labels

Your insistence on placing the word "liberal" in lead sentences of biographies needs to end. A person's political ideology is not more important than their profession when it comes to describing a person. If you disagree, you need to do some serious soul-searching. Anyways, all your edits along these lines over the past several months have been quickly removed by editors, and this will continue to be the case, so you'll save yourself some time by not bothering in the first place. If you're going to contribute to Wikipedia, please do so in a more constructive fashion. Thanks. Warren -talk- 06:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
