[edit] Welcome!

Hi there, Jatkins, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:

• If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (Jatkins 17:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page
• The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
• You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, 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! - Tapir Terrific, 18:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome message - I've only been registered for two days and it's the first message on my talk page! --Jatkins 15:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 14:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Level Up

Thanks! You did all the hard work, I just tidied it up a bit. Re: Next Levels -- at the moment I don't think I can add anything to the list you have already given. :) Jud 22:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope, sorry... I cannot help you. I went through a phase where I didn't have time to watch in the morning so I missed a lot of The Next Levels. :( Sorry mate. -Mikay 10:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. --Jatkins 17:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:W3schools-favicon.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:W3schools-favicon.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. This is an automated message from BJBot 23:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Original response:

I got your message about the orphaned image, and I appreciate that Wikipedia doesn't need unused images on it. This is a favicon, and such as parameter was previously included in the website infobox template. --Jatkins 17:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

(Note: I understand that this was posted by an automated bot, I just don't want people to think I uploaded copyrighted images).

Yep, this image is not being used any more — I created a better quality version at Image:tmi-logo.png. (Note: I understand that this was posted by an automated bot, I just don't want people to think I uploaded copyrighted images). --Jatkins 17:19, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Icons

I noticed that you weren't sure what license to choose for Image:W3schools-favicon.png. Even though this image is probably going to be deleted, I wanted to tell you that {{icon}} is what to tag icons with. I usually select "Logo" in the drop-down and then change {{logo}} to {{icon}} once the image has been uploaded. —Remember the dot (t) 23:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Original response

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for the advice you gave me about using the Template:Icon licence instead of Template:Logo. If this image is deleted, it may come in useful in the future. Thanks. --Jatkins 10:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
