Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * Wikibooks is a collection of open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
 * If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

(This is not an automated message, I'll be watching during a time for any reply you make to it...)

Good luck!

PS: Please don't continue those "Beautified quote characters." it will make the text inconsistent and hard to search. --Panic (talk) 19:38, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It won’t be “inconsistent” anymore when I’m done with it. Also, please explain why it would make the text hard to search: there’s virtually no search function anywhere that lets you search for quote characters. (Sorry for the one edit after your message, I read it only after making that edit.) &mdash;☠☢☣&#91;d&#93; 08:09, 13 November 2009 (UTC)


 * It will be inconsistent as it will be unexpected and not common across that particular book, the other books (or even generally used elsewhere).
 * Search functions aren't restricted to Wikimedia software, one can perform even local searches (on the browser or on the resulting PDF of a book) and that new quote character breaks it, in sum it will definitively not be an useful improvement... --Panic (talk) 02:51, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
