Hello Harlequin ...

Zathras (Unofficial Custodian of H2G2 Room 101. ACE and holder of the BBC Pens)

Hello, I'm called Zathras (OK I'm actually called something else but Zathras is a name I use online) and I am one of the Assistant Community Editors (ACEs), and I'd like to welcome you to h2g2!

If you are finding H2G2 a bit confusing and bewildering (I know I did at first) there are lots of options to get help.

I notice you say that you had written something on your personal space and now it has gone. If you could explain what happened in a little more detail I might be able to help or (more likely) get someone who can help to come and salk to you.

For now, if you need any help either click the help button to get access to the help documentation or, if you prefer a more human(?) smiley - monster face simply reply to this message - I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If you want to chat to fellow researchers there are several options. One is to use the Discuss button at the bottom of the article. If you're want a more general chat there are various forum suggested by pressing the talk button on your screen.

If you're not sure where to go to talk about things you can ask me. (Or just take a guess and post to somewhere that seems reasonable. H2G2 researchers are a nice bunch and won't mind if you get things wrong at times)

If you're planning to dive straight in to writing articles that is great - but before you start writing articles you may want to check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic. It's an introduction to GuideML, which is a Markup Language (like HTML) we use in the Guide. It's very easy to use, and makes Guide entries look much better.

Remember if you need help or just want to have a chat, feel free to reply to this message.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
