[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can introduce yourself on the new users page
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • 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.

Again, welcome! Chris Roy 17:38, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User page

Hi, just wanted to drop a note that I generally like your work here at WP. Have you thought about making a user page? :) --Lowellian 19:13, May 21, 2004 (UTC)

All right, I have added three characters to my user page. --Rjyanco 10:52, 22 May 2004 (UTC)



[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)


Ram-Man: I don't really care, so here you go:

   I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
Multi-licensed into the public domain
I agree to multi-license my eligible text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under the GFDL and into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions in the public domain, please check the multi-licensing guide.


[edit] Punctuation

I noticed you changed my edit to the Williams College page to put the comma inside the quotation marks. Please see this page for the Wikipedia consensus of how to treat punctuation and quotation marks (it's about half way down the page). I moved the comma back outside the quotes but kept your other changes. Thanks Chuck 23:07, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Holden ma map.png

Greetings. Did you make Image:Holden ma map.png yourself? If not, where did it come from? Thanks, – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 19:43, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks

Thanks for splitting the Williams College article. You were right, the list of alumni was getting out of hand. It's much better this way.--Sophitus 20:56, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Trivial Edits

I don't know what to make out of you reverting trivial edits from more than a year ago. These are changes I agreed on with the 2 persons who initiated them. It is obvious that you either have a bitter taste in your mouth or malicious intentions to keep something that hardly anyone cares to remember. Rananim 01:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it is you Rananim that wants to bury the past, but you can not hide from the past. Trivial? Hardly. 24.95.48.161 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
    • relax, i've got more interesting and exciting things to do with my time. i stand by what i said 2 years ago though i should have been more diplomatic. either way, nobody but you cares about it. Rananim 19:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Take it to your own Talk pages, gentlemen. -Rjyanco 01:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Bradford_college.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bradford_college.gif. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check 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.

[edit] Notable old Bedalians (is that the correct term?)

Hi there - I noticed you were the guy who originally created the article on Bedales school and mentioned the clarinettist Gervase de Peyer. As it happens, his agent is also my father (see the agency website at <www.angelus.co.uk>. Could you tell me what you know of him? With permission from him and from my father, I will create a stub here on Wikipedia which would link to his page on my dad's website.--RichardHarrold 22:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC) (reply)

[edit] License tagging for Image:764px-Vanunu-Hand big.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:764px-Vanunu-Hand big.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 05:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latin honors

I left the article in your version, but posted to the talk page why I tagged the article as unreferenced. Kncyu38 05:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Replied on the talk page. Kncyu38 12:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
