Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Name Change

Seems like a simple thing, yet I just don't see it. Where my page currently says "User talk:Cjorgensen" and "User:Cjorgensen" I want it to list my full name. I changed it in the nickname field and the tildes sign correctly, but don't see a way to do it on the User page. I can "move" the talk page, but this seems wrong. Maybe I am overlooking the obvious. As a person about to change their though, hopefully you can help. Christopher L. Jorgensen 01:16, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Christopher. The only thing you can really change is how your nickname is written when you sign it, which you've done. What you're asking about is your username. That's actually more difficult (but possible) to change, because that's the name that the Wikipedia software uses to identify you.

You mentioned in your original email to me that you want to edit your user page - is this request related to that? If so, you can still edit your user page without changing your username at all. All you have to do is go to User:Cjorgensen and create a new page there.

If you still want to change your username, then take a look at the directions on Wikipedia:Changing_username; that page will walk you through the procedure of requesting a full username change. I hope this helps you - if not you know where to find me! ClockworkTroll 03:06, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Those hoax letter writers

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The ones I removed were the ones that did not seem to meet our standards of notability. Just like a list of, say, Colorado School of Mines alumni: if the person is not notable enough to have an article about them, they should not be added to the alumni list. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is not a directory. The arguments that you find a given list useful or interesting are not considered valid arguments for why this information about non-notable people needs to be in Wikipedia. There is nothing in the world preventing you from setting up your own website about hoax/spoof letterwriters, websites, etc.; but the Wikimedia Foundation is under no obligation to play host for it. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:2004demicomglencook.jpg

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Thanks for uploading File:2004demicomglencook.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 12:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
