Hi, Buddypedia, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • 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 still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • 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.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs


[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zat logo wiki.gif)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Zat logo wiki.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. SeventyThree(Talk) 18:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey there! I left this post on your Talk Page a few days ago. The best way to contact someone is to leave a message on their talk page (mine is this page), but you can also respond on your own talk page (this one!).
If you want to keep the image, you'll need to use it in an article. If you don't want to use it, the image will be deleted automatically some time within the next few days.
You don't need to get things perfect! I did a similar thing on my first article. The best thing about Wikipedia is that you don't need to be perfect - just put up something reasonable. You and other people can improve it then!
Anything else you want to ask me, feel free! You might get a faster response on my talk page than here. You could also try the Wikipedia:Help desk. Hope this was useful! SeventyThree(Talk) 18:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Radio stations

It's actually Wikipedia policy that a North American radio station's article has to be at the full call sign licensed by the CRTC or the FCC, including the -FM suffix. The difference between Canada and the US is that all Canadian FM radio stations have the FM suffix without exception, whereas US stations don't necessarily have the suffix if their callsign isn't actually shared with an AM radio station or a TV station. So while the same isn't necessarily true in the States, Canadian FM radio stations have to be at CXXX-FM, because that's their actual legal name. Bearcat 01:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
