Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Evanc88! I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, cohesion★talk 08:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 'Band vanity'

On Wikipedia, certain kind of articles can be deleted by individual administrators without discussion (ie 'speedily deleted'). This includes articles that are 'about a real person, group of people, band or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject' (WP:CSD#A7). These kinds of articles are usually called 'vanity' for short, whether or not it actually was the subject who created them. You may recreate the article if you want to, but you should include an assertion of significance in there somewhere. You could have a look at WP:MUSIC to see what's generally expected of band articles. - ulayiti (talk) 11:26, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Travisstever.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:Travisstever.jpeg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. BRossow 22:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Louisville

Greetings. I've been dropping a line to all Louisville residents I can find to ask them to consider joining the new WikiProject Louisville. It has been determined there is a *lot* of work to do yet remaining for Louisville-related subjects, and therefore we would definitely appreciate your presence. If by chance you are unable to join us, that's all right, but if you can, please tell other Louisvillians about this worthy project. Thank you for your time! Stevie is the man!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Goosecreeksymphony.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Goosecreeksymphony.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. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
