A welcome from Sputnik

edit
Hi, TKH Mebo, Welcome to Wikipedia!  
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Your "Take off your Clothes" Article

edit

As there seems to be no record of this song in the internet I am disputing it's factual accuracy. If you have any evidence please feel free to remove the note and place evidence in my talk page or the page discussion page. (The latter is probably better). I hope we will sought it out. BTW it dosn't have to be internet evidence. Thanks. --Bpazolli 08:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your user page

edit

I have removed the images from your user page. While users are generally free to organise their user pages as they please, your user page should really be used to provide information about yourself to other users, or to organise your contributions, display a to-do list, and so on. You should not have things on your user page which are likely to offend other users, or which are there simply to make a point. You should read our policy on user pages. I have simply removed the images for now, but you should know that if you attempt to reinsert the images, it may be considered disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, and you may be subject to blocking. --bainer (talk) 10:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your article

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 23:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:RogerDobkowitz.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:RogerDobkowitz.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:3Strikes+.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:3Strikes+.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
