Welcome, RealityBase!
Hello, RealityBase, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Wolf530, one of the thousands of editors here at Wikipedia, and I certainly do I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Fun stuff...
Here are a few thoughts that I think will help you on your way...
- Don't worry too much about being perfect -- very few of us are! If you want a fast way to learn how to avoid the little faux-pas around here, we have a page called "avoiding common mistakes" that will give you a head start.
- Need more help? Check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, first. If that's not helpful enough, you can go to my talk page and click the + button next to "edit" to ask me a question. Or, you can type
{{helpme}}here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. - Whenever you're using a talk page, don't forget to sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. It helps us keep track of who is saying what!
- Looking for something to do? Click "Random Page" on your sidebar (on the left). Or, check out the "open tasks" list.
- Before you do anything else, be sure to tell us about yourself! Feel free to drop me a line on my talk page as well -- I like getting new messages just as much as anyone else.
- Wherever you go, remember: be BOLD!
