The links above should help you find some of the policies for creating articles. You might also want to take a look at Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines#Content guidelines. Some of the policies are a bit hard to find, so drop me a note on my talk page if you have specific questions. --GraemeL (talk) 18:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
User warnings.
editYou're putting them in the wrong place. :) You want them on User_talk:199.71.141.254 not on User:199.71.141.254. Wikibofh 17:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, now I'm confused. The user you are warning isn't editing those articles, particularly since I blocked the account for a week. Wikibofh 17:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Additionally User:68.173.157.213 actually removed vandalism and this is from November 16th. So the warning is incorrect and really tardy. Normally we need to warn within a day or two for it to be of much use. Wikibofh 17:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for noticing, and for trying to correct it. I'll try to be more careful, and figure this out more. Thanks, -Demosthenes- 17:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. I'll provide what help I can. Wikibofh 17:53, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hugowinners1968.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:Hugowinners1968.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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:05, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
