• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk

• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Cool. On a better day I would have expanded that part myself; I'm glad I didn't scare you away from the article! Happy editing.—Rory ☺ 00:15, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

I added all of the reliable information I could find on the web when I started (or rewrote, I can't remember) the article. I imagine any new material will have to be from magazine articles and interviews. I've put in her filmography and removed the stub notice. It's now a reasonably sized article for an actor of her standing, in my opinion (of course that should never mean that you don't add more!)—Rory ☺ 12:44, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

I sometimes get it wrong, if so my apologies - You don't mention which articles, so I can't comment further (I'm out for the day in a few minutes, so no time to search. jimfbleak 05:23, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Caulking

Quote from caulking

A word to the wise Never go into a hardware store and ask for "caulk." Always "caulking." Never "caulk."

Does this always apply (i.e. not just colloquially)? I persoanlly have never used "caulking" for boats, but I have purchased and used decorators' "caulk" for caulking gaps in interior walls. Dainamo 08:54, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If you go to a hardware store and ask, "Do you guys have caulk?" chances are the guy behind the counter's going to look at you askance. You'll clairfy: "You know, caulk? Where do you keep your caulk?", making a squeezing motion with your hand as if to squeeze caulk out of a tube. The hardware guy and the cashier are going to look at each other skeptically, and then start cracking up, at which point the other customer's going to give you that word to the wise I added to the article. From there, it's only a second or two until you realize the word "caulk" has an unfortunate homophone... — T-bomb 00:25, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

ROTFL nice one! and the penny finally drops in my cerebal network Dainamo 19:25, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What's that homophone? The tip is really weird, and probably only applies to English speakers.--Chealer 20:44, 2004 Dec 7 (UTC)

T-bomb replied

"Where's your cock?"

"Pardon?"

"Your cock. You have any cock?"

Awkward pause.

As a French speaker I still have lots of difficulty to imagine the words can sounds similar, in any case I think this is very informal.--Chealer 21:19, 2004 Dec 7 (UTC)

Your edit to Steve Jobs

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Steve Jobs. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Baseball,Baby! ^{balls•strikes} 04:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Katzdeli.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Katzdeli.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 18:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sdrtirs (talk) 18:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
