ようこそ You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:MRTC Penguin/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! --  Chzz  ►  07:21, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Getting started A tutorial • Our five pillars • Getting mentored How to: edit a page • upload and use images Frequently asked questions • Tips Where to ask questions or make comments Request administrator attention Policies and guidelines Neutral point of view • No original research Verifiability • Grade sources • Cite sources What Wikipedia is not • Biographies of living persons External links • Spam • Vandalism Deletion policy • Conflict of interest • Notability The community Signpost • IRC channels • Mailing lists • Best articles Build consensus • Resolve disputes Assume good faith • Civility • Etiquette No personal attacks • No legal threats Writing articles Be bold in editing • Develop an article The perfect article • Manual of style Pages needing attention • Peer review The missing manual

"Penguins" lockdown

Hi! Sorry about the mix-up regarding the "Penguins of Madagascar" lockdown. I'd inadvertently placed it under full protection when what I meant to do was to semi-protect it. The default is full protection and I was protecting a slew of articles due to a very persistent (and IMO insane) vandal. You should be good to go now. Sorry ablut the inconvenience. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Unblocked

In light of this thread at the administrator's noticeboard I have unblocked this account. If there is ANY vandalism activity from this account or its associated IP ever again then the account will most likely suffer a permanent block, with very little room for appeal.
