:Template-style welcome-message follows. Please forgive the one-tone-fits-all phrasing!

Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions{{#if:|, especially what you did for {{{art}}}|}}. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are a few pages that you might find interesting and helpful:

• Editing: The concise cheatsheet, or the short introduction guide
• Overview: The Wikipedia:Five pillars, our condensed philosophy and policies
• Wikipedia:Featured articles, the standard that all articles are trying to achieve (theoretically, eventually)
• Help:Contents, the main help menu

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages (the discussion tab) using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username {{#if:|(or IP address)}} and the date. {{#if:|You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to [{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup}} create an account]. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.}}

Don't be afraid of making mistakes, as all changes are kept, and problems can be easily reverted with the "history" tab of each page.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or ask me on {{#if:|my talk page|my talk page}}. Again, welcome! (Overdue!)

P.S. I left a few comments in reply to you at Talk:Tabula rasa#Meanings in other countries. Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 20:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
