What's above is a stock welcome (which I didn't write). It's a little gushing, perhaps. It is, however, sincere -- you'll find that most people who edit on Wikipedia are happy to help -- maybe I should say anxious to help? -- newcomers, because there's a lot to be done and never enough people to do it.

As it says, if you want to ask a question, ask me or any other user on his or her talk page (click on talk, or put {{helpme}} here on your talk page.

I intercepted this because I am watching Elm Bank Horticulture Center‎ because I edited it in the past. You may find that you will tend to watch pages you have edited.

Creating new articles is physically easy -- just click on a red link and a page will come up that starts off a new page. Actually getting started with a new page, particularly one that has an info box is a little harder. I've taken the liberty of creating a sandbox page User:Mkessel/Sandbox 1 as a sub page of your user page and I did there what I would have done myself -- copied in a similar article to mark up. Just edit what's there to fit Elm Bank Reservation and then move the sandbox page to Elm Bank Reservation. No fears, I and others will keep an eye out for you. Again, welcome, and have no fear of dumb questions -- I ask them all the time. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 13:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
