Add static text above the standard edit opportunity page

I'm looking for a way to add a static text message above the standard edit/create new opportunity page layout.  The business case for this is to provide instructions/tips for opportunity creation, right where the opportunity is being created.  I'm able to add my text to the standard layouts, but just can't get it to appear on the edit/create page.  Here is as far as i've been able to get - and this just gets me the standard create page with none of my text anywhere on the screen.
 
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" action="{!create}"> 
<apex:pageblock title="Help"> Fill in all the known details of this opportunity, including contacts, billing information and when you think the deal will close by.<br/> 
***If you are creating a new opportunity, your initial stage CANNOT be Closed - Pending, Closed - Submitted or Closed - Booked. You must start from a lower stage and then shift to a closed Stage after initial creation.<p/> 
<apex:detail inlineEdit="True" relatedList="true"/> 
</apex:pageBlock> 
<apex:detail />
​</apex:page>

Take the action="{!create}" out of your page definition and then see how it works.
