Hi Mathsgeek, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

(Regarding Homer Simpson): Thanks, man. I have no idea what happened there. Must have been some sort of browser upload problem. -- Steven Fisher 19:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
That's fine, thanks for the feedback. -- Mathsgeek 20:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you've been removing links to MobyGames pages from articles recently; is there a discussion you can point me to which states that MobyGames links aren't permitted on Wikipedia? I'm asking because, though I haven't added any such links myself, I consider MobyGames to be a relatively useful database with some content one couldn't find anywhere else; therefore, I think the references to the site should be retained or restored in their respective articles.

Why do you remove the MobyGames links without replying to me on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#MobyGames_policy? Picking three examples from your latest contributions Inca (video game), Wayne's World (game) and Ugh! reveals that those MobyGames pages contains indeed more information than the article itself.
