Hello Richard, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. There is a sandbox which you can use to experiment in. If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 19:47, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Welcome. Go OA! I did some work on that page a few months ago (not long after my own induction, heh heh), but I think that you would be quite well qualified to make some additional contributions. -Smack 23:36, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Protection
editNo, userpages are not protected unless they are subject to repeated and persistent vandalism. It's to do with wiki principles of being open to editing. If you don't want people to directly edit your userpage, you might consider posting a note to the top of that page to that effect and ask people to contact you here on the talk page if they'd like to see something changed. That way they can still edit it, and you keep control over your user page. Mgm|(talk) 18:25, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Mgm
