Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Since you've recently become involved in a Votes for deletion debate, you might also want to take a look at the Guide to Votes for deletion. It clarifies some of VfD's policies, guidelines, and practices. Gwalla | Talk 20:49, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your userpage edit

The article you created has been moved to your userpage, per the result of this VFD debate. If you do not wish to have this article as your userpage, you can either edit it to create something you like or request its deletion by attaching a {{delete}}-tag on it and an administrator will remove it for you. Thanks. Sjakkalle (Check!) 1 July 2005 10:01 (UTC)


Image Tagging Image:Aswilliams.gif edit

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Aswilliams.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Tawker 06:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
