[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Pietaster, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 10:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Re: Bad Religion - Against the Grain

I replied to you about the album on my talk page. If you wish to send out a reply, please do so! Alex 101 22:53, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Religion - again

Hi, again! Since you mostly edit on Bad Religion-related articles, are you a fan of them, are they your favorite band or something; just curious. Alex 101 15:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Wow, OK. Yeah, punk rock is my most favorite genre of all time. Bands I like other than Bad Religion are: The Offspring, Sick Of It All, Black Flag, Life of Agony (they're metal), Ugly Kid Joe (they're metal, too!), Green Day, Sublime, Dead Kennedys and blink-182. You should probably see my list of favorite albums, if interested, talk to you later my friend! Alex 101 18:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hey, I saw the spelling change you made on the Mighty Mighty Bosstones article - it's a good catch. Though in the future, can you enter an Edit Summary so we can quickly see what you did without looking at the diff? --Matt 12:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Album Infobox 2 template now deleted

I've noticed that you're still using the Template:Album_infobox_2 template in album articles you've created. That template has been deleted (after a lengthy discussion/dispute), and references to it now redirect to Template:Album_infobox. You may find it easier to use the simpler Template:Album_infobox when creating articles. Monicasdude 18:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New template for your userbox

Hi, again. Since you like Bad Religion, I think you should try adding Template:User Bad Religion to your userbox. Alex 101 05:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delete Tag

You should always give a reason why you think an article should be deleted - use {{db|reason}}, instead of plain {{delete}} tag. Deletion tag can be found here Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion. Keep up the good work (Rohit Singh 20:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Invitation

Hi Pietaster. I noticed that you make a bunch of helpful contributions to Wikipedia and Lyriki, so I was hoping you could pop over to LyricWiki.org and check it out and hopefully join our community. I used a bot to fill it up with a really solid base of songs, but there is still a ton of room for improvement.
Hope you like it (sorry for bugging you otherwise)!

[edit] Category:Albums by number categories up for deletion

Category:Albums by number categories up for deletion Categories for albums numbered third to fourteenth in Cat:Albums by number have been placed on CfD. Since you created and worked on some of these categories, I thought you might want to join the discussion here. –Unint 03:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Madness

Well, they are a rock band. The reason I tried to specificy it in the first sentence is because "New Wave"/"ska" looks messy, and simply saying "rock" looks cleaner. The subsequent section then explains further their subgenre relations. For an example, see [[Nirvana (band)}. WesleyDodds 22:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You have been invited to join a new project

Hi, I've seen you frequently around the article Pennywise and other related articles. Please consider joining Pennywise WikiProject, an effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage and detail regarding Pennywise.

If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks that you can help with. Thank you for your time.

I just thought you'd be intrested in joining the project since you're a punk fan. Alex 22:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics site

He - thanks for all your contributions - but I'm afraid we don't link to lyrics sites unless they specifically have permission from the artists to post the lyrics, as it counts as linking to a copyright violation. Thanks! HawkerTyphoon 17:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject The Offspring

Hello. Would you be intrested in joining a new project I just created? If so, just go directly here. I am also looking for other members who would like to join, even when they like punk rock or that they are just a musician. Alex 02:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Generation (song)

When you move a page and create a disambiguation page under the old title, please remember to fix the links leading to the old title so they lead to the correct page. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 18:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Chas Smash.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chas Smash.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —Bkell (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:456132015.jpeg)

Thanks for uploading Image:456132015.jpeg. 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. – Riana ঋ 06:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice on uploading images

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

  • Pick an image name.
When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
  • Source the image.
On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
  • Provide copyright and license information.
This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.
  • Describe the image.
To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. – Riana ঋ 06:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
