[[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 ('''~~~~'''), which will let others know who left it.
