From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello Histrion and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the kind words - it's always nice to know, even occasionally, that one's efforts are appreciated. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:40, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] DW-stub picture
Any of the preferred formats upload formats is fine, and dimensions we can always handle later in the wiki markup. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:15, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Go to Special:Upload - the instructions should be there. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:53, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Removed Category
Hi! Your user page wasn't vandalized. I removed the Category:Indiana Wikipedians cat from your User page as it is being merged into Category:Wikipedians in Indiana -- which you were already set up ;-). Take care!! Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 03:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sig
You can alter it in your preferences (ticking the "raw signatures" option and then filling in whatever you want your signature to be in raw wikicode in the "Nickname" field ). For example, mine is [[User:Khaosworks|khaosworks]] ([[User talk:Khaosworks|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Khaosworks|contribs]]) Hope this helps. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Italics in Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a special case, because we have serials, not just episodes. What I've been doing ever since the whole thing started is tom follow the convention used in all the officially licensed Doctor Who material (Doctor Who Magazine, the Discontinuity Guide, the Television Companion, etc.) which italicises all the story titles. So it's a style thing within the Wikiproject. There's discussions on this somewhere. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Here's one time it was raised. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Davisonpeter.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Davisonpeter.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cohesion 17:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
