ようこそ You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:Mingulay/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below.

Clan MacNeil Coat of Arms

hello, just been double checking your addition to Clan MacNeil. Good work. One thing that intrigues me: why is the motto "VINCERE VEL MORI". Is this not the motto of the Clan MacNeill of Colonsay? Should the motto not read "BUAIDH NO BAS"? Yours ever, Czar Brodie (talk) 09:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I noted another version in the article "VINCERE AUT MORI". Yours ever, Czar Brodie (talk) 11:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

on a sub note Clan MacNeil may be a Good article candidate (Wikipedia:WikiProject Clans of Scotland/Assessment). If you have time, you could propose the article, see Wikipedia:Good article nominations. Yours ever, Czar Brodie (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Niall Noigiallach.JPG

Thanks for your upload of File:Niall Noigiallach.JPG! It doesn't have an author or source listed. Did you draw this yourself, or did you scan it, or both? If you didn't draw it, do you remember what publication it was from? I may be able to create a copy with the lines less blurred if can find a source image. --Closeapple (talk) 07:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Niall Noigiallach.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Niall Noigiallach.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
