Welcome!

[edit]
Hi, Rejax, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, and welcome to the ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many Wikipedians around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry—you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it!


Additional tips

[edit]

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Using the four tildes to sign your sig is policy whenever you make comments on a talk page or vote on something.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • You should also consider (if you have not already) creating a user page for yourself, to tell us a bit about you. Don't worry if it's small at first -- most people tend to grow their user pages over a period of time, much like Wikipedia articles. Don't expect everything to happen all at once!
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. If you think a page should be moved to a different title, please list it at requested moves.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

RC Patrol

[edit]

Hey there, I see that you're a recent changes patroller. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but Lupin's anti-vandal tool might be useful for you. Keep up the good work! —BorgHunter ubx (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC) 168.213.7.225 12:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Tagging images unsourced

[edit]

Images need a source. Promotional images may or may not, depending on who is tagging (See discussion here), but it seems it is agreed that all other Fair Use images do need a source (see another discussion following). Since Seems this is a grey area in Wikipedia. Most of the images I tagged were Fair Use with no source. Please, do go to those threads and reply there if you wish to revert something that seems (in most cases, I am not perfect) correct. -- ReyBrujo 16:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kazooiestand.PNG)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Kazooiestand.PNG. 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. BetacommandBot 17:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
