I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}}

I think Modular arithmetic may be closer for your addition, but I'm not really sure. In any case base (mathematics) is not the right place. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Your absence
editWikipedia normally has a policy of not biting the newbies. If you are staying away because you were bitten, please reconsider: [1] and [2].
If you want any explanation on my part, please e-mail me. You will be able to do that from my talk page. If you didn't yet yourself certify your e-mail account via Wikipedia, that is something I would advise you to do - you would look more serious if you led people to an e-mail account rather than to a blog.
Do not misunderstand me: if you have an inkling that something is wrong on a page, the acceopted way of editing on Wikipedia is that you should be able to find sources first, that go along in your direction: books (with ISBN numbers) (preferable) and reputable internet links (blogs should be avoided). On talk pages, however, you can freely state your own mind and try to explain why you object to something (a third party may lead you to a source). Have a look at WP:NOR. All the best, and should you indeed decide to come back, happy editing!--Paul Pieniezny 13:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Water fuel injector.gif
editThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Water fuel injector.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will 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. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
