Some cookies to welcome you!  

Welcome to Wikipedia, Aws06828! I am Admrboltz and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Interstate shields

edit

I used the two standard MUTCD templates found here Image:US DOT FHWA MUTCD SHS 2004 3-1 M1-1 600x600mm 88 NY.svg and Image:US DOT FHWA MUTCD SHS 2004 3-1 M1-1 750x600mm 678 NY.svg. Click on the images on those pages so you just see the vector drawing, the fonts should look weird (that's normal, more on that). Download Inkscape or whatever SVG editor you prefer. Next, you'll need the Roadgeek fonts if you don't have them already. You have to change the state and number objects to path. Basically, that means the shape of the letters and numbers are written into the file, otherwise the fonts will look like when you downloaded them. There's more to it than that. I would read a tutorial to familiarize yourself more; Inkscape has tons of them. Good luck with your shields! --Fredddie (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Are the "Acadiana" and "Trial" on plates like this:  ? Or are they on the sign itself. A picture would be helpful. Carpetmaster101 02:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

They are on plates like the one you mentioned Aws06828 (talk) 01:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Aws06828Reply

 
 
 

How are these? Please comment on my talk page so I can make any adjustments. Carpetmaster101 05:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Tollga400.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Southflooding.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Southflooding.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 05:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Speedy deletion nomination of Earthen Vessel

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Earthen Vessel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Disappearance of Lee Cutler

edit

Hello, Aws06828. I see you've been around for a while, although not very active, so I won't annoy you with welcome templates. Thanks for creating this article. It has several issues, the most pressing ones (imho) having to do with the references. First, please see WP:CITE for instructions on how to add inline citations. (Hint: all of the info goes within ref tags where the citation number will appear. The footnote is constructed by the wiki software and appears automatically in the References section. You can look at the ref I added to see one way it can be done.) Second, please consult WP:RS to see what is considered a reliable source. (Blogs almost never qualify.) I'm pressed for time right now or I'd work on it myself. Besides, "teach a man to fish. . . ." I do realize that doing refs properly is a bother until you've done it a few times—it was for me, anyway—and I'll be happy to help when I can. Rivertorch (talk) 04:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:US Bike 5(M1-9).png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 21:01, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
