Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, EmilyGreene1984! Thanks for weighing in over on the Anti-psychiatry article discussion. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
• When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and Assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, EmilyGreene1984, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 05:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Soprano

Hello Emily. I left you a message to try to explain at the Soprano article's talk page. Please have a look there. Sorry for any confusion. I hope this will be helpful. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 22:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. Just a couple of specific suggestions (the list of topics at the top of this page is an excellent one for editors, but here are just two quick ones): Please take a look at WP:RS and WP:CONSENSUS. Wikipedia is intended to be a collection of information *researched* by people, and changes should be made on the basis of reliable sources (WP:RS). Disagreements can be resolved through WP:CONSENSUS. Wikipedia is not intended to be a collection of information written down by people who know something about a subject - that is forbidden as "original research" (see WP:OR). I hope this helps. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 23:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:LonChaneyErikThePhantomoftheOpera.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LonChaneyErikThePhantomoftheOpera.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Fair use, 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.

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 02:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
