[edit] Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Glad to see your Andrew Wildman article show up, though I want to warn you that I moved it in accordance with our naming conventions (see below for link). I'm making some other minor edits there now--you may want to take a look later and see the things I've changed for your own reference.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page (below).

Happy editing, and have a good time! If there's ever anything I can help with (or if you just want to say hey) feel free to swing by my talk page! --Dvyost 01:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources for Rock 'N' Roll Suicide

Hello, good work on Rock 'N' Roll Suicide, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. What websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Rock 'N' Roll Suicide? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? Thank you very much. - SimonP 05:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: causing me work

Not a problem. A good topic is worth the work. Believe me, if you were writing about non-notable prep schools I wouldn't bother myself with it. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 07:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks muchly :) Tom Prankerd 09:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)



[edit] Space Oddity album cover

Hullo Tom, how's it going? I was wondering if you have a good copy of the Space Oddity LP cover when it was known as David Bowie (see discussion). Just finished doing a full article on the debut LP (yes, finally got the starting point after Aladdin, Dogs, Live, Stage and the rest) and should get to the next one before too long - so a 'proper' cover would be excellent if you have one.

[edit] F1 portal featured article

The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reviews

Hi, thanks for the note. My main concern is that the reviews link to your personal website, and as such, it might be construed as (if not spam, i.e. trying to generate traffic) vanity. It's not that your reviews might not be notable so much as that your website isn't notable by Wikipedia:External links standards. I know this sounds like so much bureaucratese, but there are policies and guidelines were try as best we can to adhere to. Thanks for your attention. --18:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Bowie JohnDancing.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.
