Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Great Plague of Seville article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing!—WAvegetarian•(talk) 03:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I apologize, my mistake. It was largely copied from the Great Plague of London article. I copy vio tested a paragraph that had been lifted wholesale. The next time that you use an article to start a new one, please note your source using an edit summary, linking to the source article with brackets ([[ and ]]). Sorry for the confusion. Please read my full welcome below. —WAvegetarian•(talk) 03:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Queena87, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:

• First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
• Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
• Learn how Articles for deletion works.
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button.
• Provide an Edit summary.
• Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
• Create a User page.
• Be bold.
• Ignore all rules.
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•(talk) 03:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Alexei_Nemov_russian_gymnast.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alexei_Nemov_russian_gymnast.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:33, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

While Wikipedia is not censored, having a fully nude picture with an erection adds nothing to the article and isn't necessary.

See Wikipedia:Profanity:

"Words and images that might be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by other Wikipedia readers should be used if and only if their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternatives are available. Including information about offensive material is part of Wikipedia's encyclopedic mission; being offensive is not."

Additionally, please don't replace images that others have uploaded.—Chidom ^talk  19:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:ZakSpears.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ZakSpears.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 04:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:ZakSpears.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ZakSpears.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 04:52, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
