[edit] Image deletion
Hi. It's not necessary to send an image through Images for deletion (IFD) that you upload. You can just add {{db-author}} to it and it will get removed a lot faster and without the extra steps of the IFD. Also, images that are exact duplicates can also be deleted better than sending through IFD by putting {{redundant image}}. It's not a big deal, someone else has changed the image you sent to IFD to this other method called speedy deletion. As you appear to be a new user, you couldn't be expected to know such things. Anyways, welcome! --MECU≈talk 14:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks MECU. I'll do that. I figured there had to be an easier way but the Wiki forest has MANY trees to wade thru. I just started any attempts at page creation yesterday. My first attempt at an actual article will be on beautiful Turda Gorge Romania as a stub in hopes others can fill it out more. First I need study up more on Wiki procedures and policies.
- I've been an avid reader of Wikipedia articles, especially on history, for several years. It's a real treasure trove! -- Wandering piranga 15:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
