[[Wikipedia:Introduction|Welcome to Wikipedia]], the free encyclopedia! You don't have to [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and gives you many [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|benefits]], including:
 
*The use of a [[Wikipedia:Username|username]] of your choice, provided that it is [[Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames|appropriate]].
 
*The use of your own personal [[Wikipedia:Watchlist|watchlist]] to which you can add articles that interest you.
 
*The ability to [[Help:Starting a new page|start new pages]].
 
*The ability to [[Wikipedia:How to rename a page|rename pages]].
 
*The ability to edit [[Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy|semi-protected pages]].
 
*The ability to [[Special:Upload|upload images]].
 
*The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website.
 
*The eligibility to eventually become an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]].
 
*Your [[IP address]] will no longer be visible to other users.
 
 
We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and '''[[Special:Userlogin|create an account]]'''. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, make sure to [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your posts]] and comments with four tildes ('''&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;'''), which will let others know who left it.

If you have been blocked without cause, please read Wikipedia:Advice to AOL users for advice.

File:Information icon.svg Attention:

This IP address, AOL, is registered to America Online (AOL) and is shared by multiple users (see AOL ranges). Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this is not the IP address of your machine. AOL is the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. These and other proxies are shared among thousands of AOL users. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.

Template:User-multi

Please note: Most AOL users change IP addresses with each page they load.
Warnings or messages left on this page will not be received by the intended user. Because of the way the AOL cache assigns IPs based on the pagename requested, warnings will never appear on the correct page.
