Hello D. Wu, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
• Experiment in the sandbox.
• Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
• Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
• Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
• Be bold in updating pages.
• Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
• And most importantly, have fun!

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — Bcat

[edit] Black boys on mopeds

Thanks! I couldn't open http://www.members.tripod.com/dcebe/um_book.doc, but the other sources were very informative. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 19:47, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reference desk archival - thanks!

Hello there! Always nice to see a Wikipedian help out with the reference desk archiving - I thought I'd give you a WikiThanks for that. Happy editing! --HappyCamper 05:11, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

[edit] Stem Cell Surgery

Yes, please merge with "Stem Cell" if you can. I think the merge would be appropriate, not only for the aritcles survival but for the relevancy the article has in relation to the stem cell. Thank you for the proposal, and hopefully this can be done ASAP. May the best be with you. Darkroom Danny 16:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I got it. -D. Wu 21:31, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zoo Tycoon

Thanks for wikifying Zoo Tycoon. When I made my edit on it, I was absolutely appalled by its state. You deserve a lot of barnstars.

Happy editing!

[edit] Spike Jones William Tell Overture

Since when is it your place to decide whether content is "appropriate" or not? Unless you provide an actual explanation, I intend to put it back. >:( Wahkeenah 17:40, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

In general, an article that contains only music lyrics is considered unencyclopedic and is most likely a copyright violation. My removal of the lyrics from the William Tell Overture (Spike Jones version) article was motivated by the Wikipedia lyrics and poetry guideline.

If you'll notice, I've shortened the transcript into a summary of the song and added pertinent information, which in my opinion is more reasonable and fitting. I apologize for not being clearer in my revision description. -D. Wu 18:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

There are plenty of pages with song lyrics on them. Why are you picking on this one? Wahkeenah 22:43, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Pages with song lyrics on them include a discussion of its signifiance. The article in its original state included the complete lyrics in its entirety, which in my opinion does not serve any meaningful purpose and is most likely a copyright violation. I did not "pick on this one," and my edits were not meant to be hostile, as it seems that you have taken it to be.

I would like to reach some middle ground here, so I've went ahead and summarized your original transcript. -D. Wu 23:24, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Follicle_histology.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Follicle_histology.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Iamunknown 00:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, I've went ahead and responded in the image talk page. D. Wu 19:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newsbreak

Normally, cut and paste page moves are undone by administrators as they effectively delete the page histories. For future reference, please see Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page. However the old article was so poor, and your new article doesn't include any text from the old article, so in this circumstance it appears acceptable. Thanks for fixing the article even it meant starting from scratch. -Will Beback · † · 06:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
