[edit] Vandalism

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Moe ε 02:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Moe ε 02:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My page

Dont delete my things I say on my own page. MICHIGANKID

This page doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the Wikipedia community. Moe ε 02:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What??

Then where is my page???? MICHIGANKID

No page is techinically yours. They all belong to the Community here. And don't remove warnings from this talk page, it is considered vandalism. Moe ε 02:40, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Ummmmm....but it is about me or what???? I dont understand. MICHIGANKID

Sure, what you post on the pages User:MICHIGANKID and User talk:MICHIGANKID are yours, but if you post obscene content then the Wikipedia Community has the right to remove it. Moe ε 02:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Well, since you asked for help, I will give you a welcome message that might explain a few things. But first off Wikipedia has policies and guidelines that you have to follow so you wont get into trouble. Here's the welcome:

Hi, MICHIGANKID, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

PS. If you ever need anything send me a message at my talk page and we can work things out. :-)

[edit] Another Welcome

Hi, MichiganKid. I noticed your request for help on your user page. To start with, you might want to just post a brief profile of yourself on your user page, so that other Wikipedia editors can get to know you. You don't have to reveal any personal information, but you can list some of your interests and areas of expertise. For some guidelines about what does and doesn't belong on a user page, see Wikipedia:User page. By the way, if you sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~), it will produce a link to your user page and a time/date stamp. Thanks for your interest in helping us with our encyclopedia. --TantalumTelluride 03:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

On my portable keyboard, the tilde is on the same key as the apostrophe and quotation marks, right next to the enter/return key. --TantalumTelluride 03:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm.. ya'll got some weird keyboards. :-) Moe ε 03:26, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

How do I get pics from my file???? MICHIGANKID 03:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

You have to upload it. But beware, pictures of Spiderman are probably copyrighted if you're copying and pasting off of the Internet. Moe ε 03:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:CA6VK12P.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:CA6VK12P.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. LV (Dark Mark) 03:56, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Elmo the jet plane.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Elmo the jet plane.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing warnings

Please, as I said before, removing warnings and such is vandalism. Please don't remove them. Moe ε 05:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Anonymous-skull-plugged-5000680.jpg

I know you tagged the image as self-made, but I don't think you made this image so..
