[edit] Bios
Best way to do this is to look at a few bios first. I would recommend C.Y. O'Connor, then try Bob Brown - you need to look at ones of living persons and the not so living ones, as well as contentious ones and the mild stubs like the one I started on Thomas Bather Moore - its best to see what mess editors can get up to - and usually on their talk pages there are links to other places to look at. Hope that helps. Please dont hesitate to ask anything. If I cant help there are plenty of places to go to...SatuSuro 07:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Dec 06 cover of the Briefing.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dec 06 cover of the Briefing.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. 09:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nkayesmith says "Sign your posts"
As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you.--nkayesmith 12:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
