[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Yiddophile, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 07:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Late_1980s_ram.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Late_1980s_ram.gif. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 09:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABC World News Now

Hi, the picture you added of Aaron Brown and Elmo has a date of 1996 across the front. Are you sure this is not Mark Mullen? The woman appears to be Thalia Assuras. Can you please double check this? H2O 06:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  Hey, H2O. How's that whole 118.5 degree bondage thing going? [grin] 
  (Offended readers are uncircumcised savages who should take remedial high school chemistry before whining.)
  I have no idea about the woman or the exact date. But I can assure you it's Anderson Cooper. Nevermind the voice on the tape, just look at him!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Pintauro WTB.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pintauro WTB.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. 02:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speech synthesis up for FAR

Hi there,

You're listed in the edit history of this article. I wonder whether you're able to help bring it up to FA standard again? Please see WP:FAR#Speech_synthesis.

[edit] Holmes on Homes

Hi Yiddophile. Sorry but there was already an article on Holmes on Homes. - Cybergoth 05:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Heya Cybergoth! Fellow (former) Torontonian, miss it every day that I'm away. Yah, discovered the Holmes on Homes site after posting. Big fan, was amazed that there wasn't a page for him (or that I didn't find it!). I work at Home Depot while paying my way through an engineering degree, so I get to see all the crappy wanna-be contractors coming in to see us. It's incredibly tough to dissuade them from doing things like connecting water heater gas lines with vinyl tubing... without reminding them that they're (obviously) unlicensed to do the work they've undertaken. (No wonder I drink.)
