[edit] G'day!
G'day there, Wayneamlwch, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!
We've got a few pages you might find helpful, such as:
It's all best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down.
If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh? Happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mickey Thomas
"Former players" sections in club articles typically only include players who had a major impact on a club's history - otherwise the list quickly reaches an unwieldy size as people add their favourite player. Hence Mickey Thomas was removed from the sections at Chelsea F.C. and Manchester United F.C. However, for Wrexham, he probably would be viewed as one of the clubs most notable players. If you have an interest in football you may wish to visit WikiProject Football. One last thing - remember to use edit summaries when editing. This can all be a bit confusing at first, but feel free to ask any questions you might have at my talk page. Thanks. Oldelpaso 19:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] autoblocks
Users who use AOL and users at some universities are particularly vulnerable to "autoblocks" caused by the actions of other users who happen to share the same IP address. Unfortunately, there's currently no good solution for this and no way to prevent this from happening (I have no way of turning off autoblocking, no way of knowing in advance that any particular user is using AOL or a university IP prior to blocking them, and no way to give immunity from autoblocking to known reputable and established users). AOL is particularly troublesome because of the way they constantly switch users through a series of IP addresses. The good news is that autoblocks are only temporary, the bad news is that there's no way of preventing the situation from recurring. You may want to ask Wikipedia developer User:Robchurch if a Wikipedia software modification might be possible to mitigate this sort of thing in the future. -- Curps 06:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
On 14-May, you created a "soft" redirect from Glantraeth to Glantraeth F.C.. You should do a real redirect in cases like this. The instructions for how are at Wikipedia:Redirect. I've fixed this one, but if you need help in the future, let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Cemaes bay.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cemaes bay.jpeg. 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. 17:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
