Really happy to have you, and if you work out, we will keep you, no returns. <cheeky grin>

If you like poetry, our Wikisource:Proofread of the Month is concentrating its efforts there. If you have other specific interests, please let someone know, we have lots of speciality people. We hang out at Wikisource:Scriptorium so do feel free to ask any questions there. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:15, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Personally, I have my header/footer set to open in the Page: namespace and I achieved this by activating that option in my preferences (Show header and footer fields when editing in the Page namespace.) — billinghurst sDrewth 14:28, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
