Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! Bienvenue! Willkommen! My name is SporkBot, and I know that you are going to have a great time in our Public Policy Initiative! You'll be writing and developing articles about public policy of the United States for a class assignment, but you'll also be an active member of the largest encyclopedia project in the world, helping to bring free knowledge to readers all over the globe! If you haven't already, take a few minutes and check out the handy links below to start sharing your knowledge with the world.

We're so glad you could join us this semester, and we hope that you'll enjoy editing so much, you'll stick around and remain an active contributor to Wikipedia. While this is the probably the first time you've been seriously editing Wikipedia, it's also the first time we're trying this initiative, so it will be a fun learning experience all around. I've dropped those links below for easy access, and if you need anything further, feel free to contact me at my user talk page. Just don't forget: the most important thing is to have fun while learning! ~~

DYK for Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc.[edit]

On 30 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc., which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi Hcookeecs, a (late) congratulations on getting your article onto the Did You Know section on the Wikipedia front page! As you probably saw, the work you did on the Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube Inc. article was viewed by more than two thousand people on October 30th! Great job, and keep it up!
