Welcome! edit

Hi Jcommett, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

 
  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Endicott College deletion edit

I deleted the article because it was promotional material lifted directly from here. It violated our policies concerning copyrighted materials and our policies concerning maintaining a neutral point of view. If you want to rewrite the content in your own words, taking care not to reproduce the promotional language, you can resubmit the article. -- Merope 20:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, you can stop using Wikipedia to promote your college. (I used to work for a university department and was responsible for promotion, too, so I understand your job.) You can try to incorporate some of the information into the main article at Endicott College, but I don't think that the individual school requires its own page. -- Merope 20:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:EC seal.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:EC seal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hi, the recent edit you made to George O. Bierkoe has been reverted, as it appears to be vandalism. Please do not vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing, or if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks – Qxz 15:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

 

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Endicott College School of Art and Design. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing – Qxz 15:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

 

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Endicott College School of Arts and Sciences. – Qxz 15:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning.

Endicott College edit

The edits made to that article since your contributions are legitimate, and because of that I'm not going to revert them. That article needs some serious work if it is going to become an encyclopedia entry that meets our neutral point of view policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and is not a web-host to contain copies of material from your website. Hut 8.5 17:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not quite sure that you know for certain what Wikipedia pages are here for. They are there to inform the reader in an unbiased way about the subject, in accordance with our neutral point of view policy. Your most recent edit to this article was clearly intended to promote the college, and I am beginning to get the impression that you are editing this article in order to promote your organisation. Wikipedia is not here to host pages for your organisation. You should exercise great caution when editing any page related to your organisation. Please see this page for more information.
If you want to make changes to this article, I strongly recommend that you discuss these changes on the article's talk page and try and establish a consensus of editors before making them. Hut 8.5 19:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Endi-circle-tagline1.gif) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Endi-circle-tagline1.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Orphaned non-free image (File:School seal.gif) edit

You've uploaded File:School seal.gif, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.
