[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Best of luck, and have fun! Ccson 13:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You need to subst spam and vandal templates

You should double check with someone like User:Gwernol, but as I understand it, vandal and spam warning templates are supposed to be applied with the subst keyword. So when you added a warning to User talk:66.230.200.227, you should have used {{subst:anon vandal}} rather than what you entered. This causes the actual text of the template output to appear in the page. This is supposed to reduce the load on the servers. Will (Talk - contribs) 19:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks, i will correct that.-Robotam 15:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I see on your page you like Christian Music

We need more editors at wikia:ChristianMusic. Come join us. I am the new administrator. Your Wikia.com account is good for all Wikia.com wikis and a few others like Memory Alpha (a Star Trek wiki). Will (Talk - contribs) 19:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

sounds great!!!-Robotam 15:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vandalism

Hello Robotam,

You posted a message on my talk page about vandalism.

I don't know exactly what you are referring to.

Did I make an edit that was a mistake?

Jsmith212 18:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

not at all, no mistake by you--I was offering suggestions on dealing with others vandalizing the pages you are editing. -Robotam 18:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

okay, I see Jsmith212 18:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Montford Point Marine Association

I'm in the process of researching this article for rewrite, but I would appreciate some clarification about copyvio. another editor posted the copyright permission template on the talk page[1]; are you saying that that permission is not valid, or just not relevant? Thanx-Robotam 14:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Woops! I didn't notice the permission on the talk page. Sorry about that. I reversed everything (including the db-copyvio speedy tag which was what led me there in the first place - that guy's bad too...). —Wknight94 (talk) 18:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

that's for clarifying that--greatly appreciated.-Robotam 20:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:EddyWalkingOnSunshine.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:EddyWalkingOnSunshine.jpg. 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.

[edit] Good work

Excellent work getting ahead of Mykungfu this week. I'd say this was his most concerted effort to mess with the wiki yet, and it failed largely because of your efforts. Thank you. BTW, there's a new editor moving through some of the same pages - looks innocuous so far, but let me know if you see any suspicious edits. | Mr. Darcy talk 17:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


I think you should label real96 [2] a possible sockpuppet of user:mykungfu . A checkuser has been requested by MrDarcy [3]

aww, you're so brave when you say someone is a banned user [4] , but you won't put a little sockpuppet thing on their page? 172.165.197.198 05:53, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Update

A few names missing from please update and make names match.. thanks..

[edit] The Enigma of What is MyKungFu

This story was really meant for MrDarcy, Ccson, Robotam, Real96/Bearly541 (the edit's to the links and Real's edits to bearly's talk page gave it away) since they were always wondering as to what drove MyKungFu. Initially it was to spread the message of some of the ills that went on with some greek organizations. It later became some of the ills (that had factual basis) of other groups. After a while it was simply the joy of the debate (sentence by sentence as it seemed). Even if you don't know who I am, you are like a family. We've been debating for over a year. The cat and mouse, it honestly has been fun. Some of the article that were initially created were in good faith or eventually became good faith, Gamma Phi, Charles C. Poindexter, Walter M. Kimbrough, Holcombe Rucker, Sigma Pi Phi, and Alpha Kappa Nu. I learned strong references and loved to debate them. I know that many organizations like to be seen in a good light especially when they have their members editing it. That though shouldn't stop Wikipedia as being a source of the whole truth. Which is what I feel was being stopped from being shown. E.g. the hazing incidents of many greek organizations. The ban was a ban; and I asked for the account to be unblocked after a few months. It never happened. Oh well... Many of my screen names were caught, but in the chase there were a number of screen names that you mistakenly thought was MyKungFu. I can tell you that Vkmayes and Mukokeri weren't mine. I really laughed when I saw Real96 labeled a sock; MrDarcy than did a checkuser on her and when it was found false wouldn't apologize. Also how JeffGent was almost labeled a sock by Ccson on Robotam's page. It's funny how so many IP's were labeled socks when they weren't socks at all. Anyway, I am writing because I am currently going thru a family crises. My brother was seriously injured in Iraq by a rocket attack. I found out today on my way back home. I won't be on Wikipedia for a long time. In all it's been a lot of fun. All the best...

MyKungFu MyWingChun 05:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I wish you well, and your brother the best on a speedy recovery. I know a thing or two about your angst. When you come back, as I am sure you will, I seriously hope you will go about being re-instated the right way, and then offer your energy to positively contributing to this encyclopedia. People are not as against you as you seem to believe, but even if they were, spite and retaliation make us smaller, not those that we believe persecute us. Here's hoping we all follow the facts, not the agenda! Hotep,-Robotam 16:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Duboisapa1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Duboisapa1.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. 16:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
