Welcome!
Hello, Ray harris1989, 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
By the way, I've removed your entry from the article 1989 - people listed there under "births" should be notable in some way, and it is generally not accepted to add your own birthdate to these articles. You can write about yourself on your User page, but unless you're already famous, you should not do so in article space. -- Ferkelparade π 15:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Image tagging for Image:Ng8.0.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Ng8.0.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Lists of Words
editThere's a discussion going on at Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Lists of Words over the interpretation of policy regarding lists of words. As a fairly recent contributor to [List of British words not widely used in the United States], you might wish to add to the debate, as it affects several AfDs going on, and a current Deletion Review. Thanks. WLD 21:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Speedy deletion vs. other types
editHey -- I changed your speedy tag on Flashers into a WP:PROD tag. Keep in mind that not every deletion can be a speedy deletion; you may want to read up on Wikipedia:Introduction to Deletion Process, and the three specific types of deletion for articles: full-process deletion, proposed deletion, and speedy deletion.

Warning
editThis edit is very inappropriate. Do not do that kind of thing again. Mangojuicetalk 14:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Warning on POV edits
editPlease read Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, which all articles must follow. This is especially a concern at Islam. Wikipedia is a neutral, verifiable encyclopedia; it is not a place to argue a particular point of view. Thank you. -- Szvest - Wiki me up ® 13:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:BritishNationalFront.png)
editThanks for uploading Image:BritishNationalFront.png. 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.

License tagging for Image:1177580702376.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:1177580702376.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Attacks in the article Image:1177580702376.jpg
Please do not make personal attacks as you did at Image:1177580702376.jpg. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. — ERcheck (talk) 11:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Black people, you will be blocked from editing. — ERcheck (talk) 11:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. - Alison ☺ 12:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Adding new messages to talk pages
editOn Wikipedia, new posts to talk pages go at the bottom, not the top. See Wikipedia:Talk page #Using talk pages for how to post to them easily. Graham87 14:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Aspergers
editYour comment on the Asperger syndrome talk page is uncivil, original research and does not contribute towards improvement of the main page in any way. I'm considering it vandalism, so here's a warning for you:
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. WLU 22:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment
edit- There is a reply to you on my talk page
- Referral has one 'f' and two 'r's.
- New sections should always be added to the bottom of the talk pages. Please see WP:TALK for further guidance.
- Jesus christ, you really had to inform me about 1 misspelt word? Absolutely fucking pathetic. Ray harris1989 17:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Pic
editPlease stop reinserting the poor quality, unlicenced pic into cannabis smoking against the wishes of 2 other editors. Please also see our three revert rule policy if you have not already. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
You took this image and didn't get it from a news site? If so... you should provide more information and a higher resolution version of it. gren グレン 08:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you obviously did not take the picture itself please give the correct info (otherwise people might remove it) Hereitisthen (talk) 23:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Possibly unfree Image:Muslims.PNG
editAn image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Muslims.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. *** Crotalus *** 13:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Oyster Card Under16.JPG)
editThanks for uploading Image:Oyster Card Under16.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Image:DCFC0111.JPG
editA tag has been placed on Image:DCFC0111.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:DCFC0111.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 10:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
The article Reprimand (UK law) has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:10, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Notification of automated file description generation
editYour upload of File:Bandog.PNG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
