Welcome!
editI'm Hersfold, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,907,604 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-
You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~
; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.
I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, 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.
We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, Hersfold 00:45, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:18, 22 October 2011 (UTC){{unblock|1 I have not been using or abusing several accounts. I have only ever used my account and have no connections with any other Wikipedia account holders.I do not know who Ashleyleggat404 is and have never heard of him/her before reading the reason for my block today. I don't know why I have been connected with this person. Thanks for any assistance in unblocking me. Noppy.
- Given some circumstances that have occurred after the block (which I will not mention on-wiki), I am convinced that this is not the same user as User:Ashleyleggat404, and I have hence unblocked. –MuZemike 22:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
