[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Newton2: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

• Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Community Portal
• Frequently Asked Questions
• How to edit a page
• How to revert to a previous version of a page
• Tutorial
• Copyrights
• Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! --Wisden17 22:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Rgs logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rgs logo.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 17:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Mörgan Wick

Please be more careful when welcoming new users, as this one has been blocked indefinately for having a username too similar to User:Morgan Wick. Thanks Naconkantari 19:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roosevelt

Why does everyone keep rejecting my changes to the Theodore Roosevelt page? His nickname as a small child was "Teedie," not "Teddie" (or, as an adult, "Teddy"). Look it up. "Teddie" is incorrect. Azaner 23:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Newton2, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, Titoxd, JoanneB, and Freakofnurture.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me by my talk page, Celestianpower by email or talk page, or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users on our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the IRC Tutorial, which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! G.He 23:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Mug House

Do you mind if I/you move this article to Mug House, Claines. There is another pub of this name in Bewdley - and also a wine bar in London apparently! Verica Atrebatum 17:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which template was that?

Hi, I'm wondering which template it is that you used on User talk:Stuart1000, I've just been using {{welcome}} and I think the one you used for Stuart1000 is a little better. BigNate37 09:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fawlty Towers

Hello! Nice to here from you. Yep, I'm a massive Fawlty Towers fan - like yourself! I owe you one after creating The Anniversary and Basil the Rat episode pages, and adding the pictures - saved me a lot of time. I don't know if you're aware but I'm hoping to set up a Wikiproject Fawlty Towers, follow the link from my main user page if you want to join... I need one more user to sign their name and then... away we go! Hope to co-operate and work with you in future FT articles.. cheerio Foxearth 11:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot status?

Hi, there. I recently looked at your contributions and it appears you are making edits extremely rapidly at bot-rate. Could you please explain this, as per Wikipedia:Bots, sysops could have blocked you per "Sysops should block bots, without hesitation, if they are unapproved, doing something the operator did not say they would do, messing up articles or editing too rapidly." Could you explain you edit speed, please? It is recommended that people wait at least 30-60 seconds between edits unless they have a bot, as well. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 17:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Internet Explorer 6.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Internet Explorer 6.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Sabine's Sunbird talk 08:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia: WikiProject Fawlty Towers

Hello, you signed up for the Fawlty Towers wikiproject, and it is up and running (only just) - may need a hand to start with because I'm not too familiar with wikiprojects, (stubs and templates in particular). Hope you are satisfied join me and improve the standard of articles related to unarguably one of the most influencial television programmes of all time! Regards! Foxearth 11:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
