[edit] Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.
- 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.
- 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.
- P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)
[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

[edit] Thanks for working on articles
Hi! Thanks for helping to edit the articles about The Lion King. I appreciate your hard work.
Bye --Starionwolf 17:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. =D I live to serve the fandom. *laughs* Blue Phoenix 14:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kopa in TLK
Hi, the user Mrknowitman has been adding information about Kopa to the pages about The Lion King. This person thinks that Kopa is Vitani's mate. I have reverted Mrknowitman's posts, but you can revert my reversinos. Cheers. --Starionwolf 23:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ditto the above, but he also claims that Simba is Kiara's mate, which would be rather odd on the part of Disney if that was true. If this happens to be a factual statement, feel free to revert my reversions as well. Thanks. --68.239.113.95 03:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for the extra comment, but I'm also wondering whether it is verifiable to state the succession of Kovu/Kiara (also feel free to remove if you think it isn't). Thanks again --68.239.113.95 03:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Dear Madam, sorry to bother you again. The user Mrsanitazier keeps adding Kopa to The Lion King after you said that Kopa is not in the film cannon. Perhaps you should leave a kind note on his talk page. I posted a message as well. Also, he keeps removing text that you added in the article Kopa. I'll keep an eye on Mrsanitazier. Cheers. --Starionwolf 23:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, me again. I may have accidently reverted the page Kopa to the wrong version when I removed vandalism. Please look at that page and edit the page correctly. Bye --Starionwolf 22:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sorry for editing your post
Hi, I apologize for editing your post about the dubs in the international versions of The Lion King. I couldn't figure out what you were trying to say because my English is bad. Sorry --Starionwolf 00:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Perfectly alright. =) The sentence was a little strange, I admit. Blue Phoenix 14:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:B000F6R61K.01-A3JCXFCBRZKD77. SS500 SCLZZZZZZZ V55924636 .jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:B000F6R61K.01-A3JCXFCBRZKD77. SS500 SCLZZZZZZZ V55924636 .jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 01:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit Summary
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! --Starionwolf 17:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sp02 040.JPG)
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Sp02 040.JPG. 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 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. —Bkell (talk) 21:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

- Ack! It's not my image. I just uploaded a horrible "revised" version (everyone's a little bit n00bish sometimes), and have reverted it. I'll try my best. (Yes, I know replying to a bot is silly, but hey.) Blue Phoenix 11:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Request
Hi, this is Ben 10. I think we've communicated in the past, but I'm not really sure. Anyway, I notice you are a Disney fan. I recently started an article for Ronno from the movies Bambi and Bambi 2, and I think it would be nice with some pictures. But I've never been able to make the picture contribution system work (I'm not so good at using computers, and sometimes I have a hard time following written directions). Anyway, I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me out or direct me to someone who could. Ben 10 10:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sure thing. I'll get right on it. Blue Phoenix 17:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Great picture. Do you happen to have any of him as a grownup in the original movie? It would be nice to show him as he was first seen. Ben 10 10:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Good point! Uploading one now. Blue Phoenix 20:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Looks great, and it was exactly the one I was thinking of too! Thanks a bunch! By the way, I'm making plans for articles for a few other characters very soon. Want to help? Ben 10 16:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Certainly! Blue Phoenix 21:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll keep you posted. Ben 10 17:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, do you think a character article about Bambi would be a good idea or no? Ben 10 16:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think so. He's a major character in two films and a book. We have articles for some The Lion King characters that are more obscure than that. I'd go ahead and create it. Blue Phoenix 20:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of Bloodhounds Inc. or Dragons In Our Midst, but do you suppose you could help me find some good pictures for their articles? Ben 10 9:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kenai article
Never mind about the previous request for now. If you'd rather skip it that's OK. I've just finished an article for Kenai from Brother Bear and Brother Bear 2. Feel free to provide input, amigo. Ben 10 12:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hello. Did a couple of small re-writes, retitled the article to make it more specific and added an image of human Kenai. I don't have the Brother Bear 2 DVD so I can't add screenshots of that yet. Blue Phoenix 14:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. When you do add a screenshot from Brother Bear 2, may I suggest one of him as a bear? That way you'll kill two birds with one stone. Ben 10 9:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Just finished an article for Koda. Nita on the way. Ben 10 15:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Nita complete. I know you can't add pictures yet, but when you get the chance I'd recommend one of her as a human and one of her as a bear, possibly from her wedding with Kenai. Ben 10 16:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Bambi (character) activated. Ben 10 16:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, I've been thinking. I have a list of articles I've originated on my page, and I've been thinking that you deserve co-author credit, or illusrator at least. Would you like that, or do you prefer your anonymity? Ben 10 17:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hello. All I really did to the articles was Wikify them a bit and add images, but if you'd like to list me as co-author I wouldn't mind. :) Remember though that no article is really "owned", so to speak. Oh, and I'll get onto the missing images ASAP. December is an insanely busy month. Blue Phoenix 20:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- I hear you, man. I've been going out of my mind trying to find a job so I can get some cash for Christmas shopping. Thanks again for the pictures. Ben 10 8:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Images in the Bambi (character) article are done. Blue Phoenix 17:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Good pics! :) Sorry to keep you scrambling, but Thumper (Disney) and Flower (Disney) are done too. I think I'll give it a rest until after Christmas. Merry Christmas! Ben 10 16:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- P.S. In case you want a heads-up, I think the next couple of articles I make will be about the characters from Lady and the Tramp and Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure. Ben 10 16:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
