[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.

P.S. I like messages :-P

[edit] Last Judgement

Welcome. I guess I shall be partially judged on the Last Day by the results of you hours spent on Wikipedia. There are various Wikipedian categories that you may or may not find applicable to yourself, should you wish to add them to your user page. See under Category:Wikipedians by profession and Category:Wikipedians by religion, or otherwise under Category:Wikipedians. I have used a couple of these on my user page. — Eoghanacht talk 21:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Chair-Peter.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Chair-Peter.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Canley 11:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death toll of the Enlightenment

Death toll of the Enlightenment was validly deleted following the WP:PROD process. As it stands, it is unlikely to survive VFD WP:AFD as it cites no references and gives the strong impression of being that bugbear of AFD regulars, a combination of essay and original research. While it can be recreated after proposed deletion without being speedily deleted under WP:CSD G4, that is not true of AFD, and if deleted and recreated in a substantially similar form it would subject to speedy deletion. The simplest way to ensure that your contributions are not deleted is to ensure that they follow the standards: verifiability through citation of reliable sources. Hope this helps.

Well, the issue is with the overall conception of the article. Collecting these facts together, if they haven't previously been addressed together in published works, is probably not acceptable practice. Equally, the disparate nature of the selected events - the Nazis, for example, were not noted for their warm regard for enlightenment ideals, rather the opposite - is problematic. If you feel that Wikipedian treatment of the Englightenment and its cheerleaders is unremittingly favourable, and you may well be right, it would be easiest to add criticisms by philosophers or historians to presently unbalanced articles, rather than trying to incorporate criticisms and blame into new ones. Hope this helps. Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
