[edit] Welcome

Hello, Buddhist143, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. 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! -Will Beback 04:40, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please cite!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Angelina Jolie, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! --Yamla 15:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

With regards to the Angelina Jolie page, the only sources I can find referencing her and Buddhism are dubious tabloid rumors regarding her wedding to Brad Pitt, and equally dubious tabloid stories suggesting she wants her adopted son Maddox to be raised Buddhist, but only her son, not her adopted daughter or the child she's expecting. If you can cite a reputable interview source or other article then you're welcome to reinstate the statement - but make sure to include a citation if you do. Thanks! 23skidoo 22:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Hindus

Can you provide a source which says that Schevchekno is a convert to Hinduism Tintin (talk) 05:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you also please try to find any news items online, just to make sure that it is not a rumour. There should be something available on it in the net but I haven't succeeded yet. Tintin (talk) 07:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:TA1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TA1.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. 06:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. DoomsDay349 02:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

You changed an article to say that someone who is a Catholic to say he was a Hindu. If that is indeed true, I apologize. Next time, leave an edit summary. DoomsDay349 02:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
You would want to include that in the edit summary. See, RC patrolling is fast. You see something that looks like vandalism, rv and warn. Leaving edit summaries helps a lot, cause without it, it can look like vandalism when it isn't. Fix it, if I really was wrong. DoomsDay349 02:32, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
And I actually believe you are wrong, so just leave it. Don't dig yourself in any deeper. DoomsDay349 02:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Last warning. Cite your additions, please, as per WP:V, WP:CITE, and WP:RS, or we will have to block you. --Yamla 02:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vijay R. Singh

Hi there! What is your source, that Vijay R. Singh was a freemason? His name is not on the list of any of Fiji's Masonic lodges, so if you have a source, provide it. Otherwise, leave it out of the article. David Cannon 23:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for revealing that you are related to Sir Vijay. One of the rules that Wikipedia follows is that Original Research is not allowed. In practical terms, this includes information that you may have discovered through your own research or family knowledge, etc. We require information to be verified, especially if the information is a little controversial. That means you must cite a reputable external source, not just something like "He told me himself". That won't do. Can you provide documentation from the lodge he was affiliated with? That would be valuable to Wikipedia. Ditto for Mahendra Chaudhry, whom you also listed as a freemason some time back. If you can provide the verification, then by all means include the information!

BTW, I have a curiosity. Sir Vijay was a Hindu, I believe. Your user name suggests you're a Buddhist. Did you convert, or did he? Or is your family mixed? David Cannon 00:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:TA32.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TA32.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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.
