Welcome to Wikipedia, $1!

	Wikipedia is a great project, because of the size of the project it is easy to become lost. To make sure new users never become lost, there is a link to Wikipedia's help pages to the left of every page. If you are still stuck, you can add {{helpme}} to your talk page, which is located here and which can be reached through the My talk option at the top of every page. This will allow a more experienced user to come along and help you. If you want to make some text edits, you can experiment in the Sandbox, specially designed for test editing. Please don't be frightened to edit, there is nothing you can do that cannot be fixed, so don't panic !
	On a talk page, don't forget to sign your messages by typing ~~~~. However, encyclopedia articles should not be signed. You can start by reading our policies and guidelines (neutrality, verifiability, style guidelines, etc.) and Wikiproject pages, where there will probably be some subject that will interest you.
	Finally, you can consult some frequently asked questions, but mainly be bold.
