[edit] Welcome from Redwolf24

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

[edit] Orphan Bot: Pictures

I won't get in trouble for posting a picture without knowing the copyright status, will I? They won't kick me off Wikipedia for it, Will they?

Bkissin 20:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Not if it's only a few pictures, and not if it's clearly a mistake. There have been people who've been banned for it, but they've uploaded hundreds of pictures, or have continued to upload problem images despite repeated warnings, or are uploading pictures for their personal use rather than for adding to the encyclopedia. You don't have anything to worry about. --Carnildo 21:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Wiki

Hello. I notice you have a depression userbox on your user page. I'm working on a new wiki for people with depression over at Wikicities (a project started by Jimbo and Angela). The idea is to create the ultimate resource for people affected by depression, with information on medication, therapies, helpful organisations and a lot more. I wonder if you would be interested in contributing to it? It's very young at the moment, but if we can build a community over there it should get off the ground. If you'd like to look it over, it's at http://depression.wikicities.com . I would be great if you would give it a glance. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings from Cuba

Hi, i'm from HAvana, Cuba , and i haven't wikifriends... Plesae, if you wanna make a friendship, write me at my usertalk... ok? User:ZorphDark

[edit] Headstart!

Re your message on the talk page and my talk page, first, you were completely civil, no worries there.

The deletion notice on the page is not a speedy deletion, its is a proposed deletion. My nomination is based on a review of the information in the article and applying it against the criteria of WP:BAND. Specifically, the criteria about the labels is "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels".

Feel free to dicuss further.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 11:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:1989 unprotection

Unfortunately, you cannot protect an article for an extended period of time, unless it's a high-traffic article such as George W. Bush, RuneScape, etc. Usually, admins protect pages per requests at WP:RFPP, and I believe that's how I first heard about the page. I saw that their was a high level of vandalism, and I hoped protecting the page temporarily would discourage vandals from coming back and editing the page. However, there are some good IP and newly registered users, who lose out when pages are protected. They cannot add their contributions to the page, and this is one of the reasons why pages cannot be protected for long periods of time. We want to stop vandalism, but we also want to keep the page open for everyone to edit. I mean, that's the point of Wikipedia, right? Hope that answers your question, Bkissin.

  • That was my reasoning exactly.--Scimitar 15:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, you're allowed to renominate the page for protection if it gets too out of hand. However, I am expecting that the page won't be too heavily vandalized in the near future. Nishkid64 22:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Friend

I suggest you first try talking to him. From a superficial glance at his edits, I really can't see anything too bad, and I think he's just testing it out. Anyway, tell him to read some Wikipedia guidelines and such, so he can get more experienced with the concept of the wiki, and the policy and guidelines of Wikipedia.
