User talk:CW - U.T.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Hello, CW - U.T., and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
I've had a look at your recent contributions, particularly STREONESHALH. Please allow me to pass on some things from Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
- Articles, once written, are considered common property. We don't sign articles, or refer to 'myself' in them. This is normal practice for an encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia:No original research means that we should only write what is generally accepted, not our own views or things that we have researched for ourselves. Again this is what a regular encyclopedia would do.
- By writing an article for Wikipedia you are implicitly agreeing to allow it to be distributed under the GNU Free Documentation License. You can choose to also release your contributions more freely (such as entirely giving up your rights) but you cannot impose additional restrictions (such as retaining a copyright notice). Your notice to 'allow free distribution as long as the copyright notice is retained' is therefore unenforceable. If you don't wish the article to be edited freely and reproduced freely you should remove it immediately.
- Article titles should not be in all caps
I notice that your article has been nominated for deletion. You may wish to defend it at Talk:STREONESHALH or on the deletion page which is reachable through the article.
Don't let this put your off contributing. As someone who clearly has knowledge of this area your expertise would be welcome.
