Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I just thought you might like to know that you can make internal links to other articles within Wikipedia by simply writing (for example) Doom Metal, and that you don't have to go to the effort of using the syntax for external links: Doom Metal. -- Karada 12:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've made some copyediting changes to put your I Am The Bloody Earth article into standard Wikipedia style:

  • Link formatting, as above
  • Not linking the same text more than once in a section
  • Album titles in italics, track names in "double quotes".

See this diff for the changes. Again, thanks for your contribution, and I hope you enjoy edting here. -- Karada 12:36, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:ALODK.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

Hello! You've removed a recently added user warning template from your user or user talk page. This tends to give the impression that you didn't read it. User warning templates contain valuable information and although you may disagree, it's best if you consider them. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony 18:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:ALODK.jpg

edit

Thank you for uploading Image:ALODK.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

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.
