Looking at the history of your page, no one decided to 'welcome' you officially. I've just done such, maybe you'll find some use looking through the convoluted piece of guidelines and policies. They really are confusing and sometimes conflicting. Just take the spirit of the policy rather than the actual wording, but sometimes if worst comes to worst, make sure to read them carefully.

Thank you, you're too kind :) I've pretty much just made tentative minor edits and typo corrections here and there the past few years, my lack of knowledge of policy means I tend to flag things rather than being bold and making the edits myself. I'll try to find time to read through guidelines and maybe make a more lasting contribution to Wikipedia since I love what it stands for. Irandill (talk) 01:58, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
