Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Jaschuck: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, 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.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! HighInBC 20:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Doug Gansler. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --tomf688 (talk - email) 20:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. Please read information regarding how to properly format the beginning of an article. This section, known as the "lead", summarizes why this person is significant. The fact that he is a state's attorney and that he is running for Attorney General are the most significant points in his life, and thus they are mentioned before anything else. --tomf688 (talk - email) 21:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
