[edit] Copyright

Well, how to license things under the GFDL isn't really my forte, but a good start would be the text of the GNU Free Documentation License and the page on donating copyright materials. Assuming that this information can be released, please be aware that it cannot replace the entire page, as a previous user had been doing. This violates a variety of policies as well as the style guide.

If the donating materials page doesn't answer your questions, there is a copyright discussion page you could ask your question at. Natalie 14:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Information is not copyrighted. If there is information (as opposed to copyrighted text) that is appropriate to that article, and that does not constitute advertisement or conflict of interest, then find a way to express the information that is not derivative of the copyrighted material. --Orange Mike 21:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

Hello Jikaku! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary.

[edit] User talk page and user page info

Regarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here, under "When pages get too long." Your talk page is intended to serve as a place to discuss your contributions. It ends up being a sort of a history of the work you've done and the conflicts you've been in, or the praise you've received. It's alright to archive comments or warnings, but blanking your talk page is not considered appropriate, as it is not actually yours but instead belongs to us all. Please read WP:USERPAGE and WP:TALK. Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages can often be interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, eventually when you desire to keep the "clutter" down on your user talk page, I suggest that you create archives for these messages. I would be happy to assist you in doing just that if you ask me to. You can see a sample of archives (mine) here. As for your user page, most users seem to use it as a place to describe themselves as people and/or editing entities. Many collect links to pages they are working on and/or have been working on. You user page is more "yours," in a way, than anywhere else on wikipedia, but is not intended to serve as a personal webpage either. Once again, read here to learn more about this. -- Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 16:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
