From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Professor Archie O'Logy article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.--Fuhghettaboutit 13:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Alison

Hello! Matthew here from the Council, although here I'm in my personal capacity of course. Glad to see you've signed up for Wikipedia. I've been messing about here for years and it's very entertaining.

I saw what you did at Fort Victoria, well done on mastering the image uploading. I think maybe the big images is not quite the sort of thing that normally appears on Wikipedia. A logo is normal, but promotional stuff often gets deleted. I reckon a nice photo of your displays or the outside of the centre might be more appropriate. I've made some minor tweaks, hope that's OK with you.

I'm also surprised that you haven't made a page for Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology! Go on, you really should. Just click on that red link to start. That would be the place where you could put the Prof and some of your other images, too.

Any other Wiki questions, or just want to chat, leave me a message on my talk page! Naturenet | Talk 12:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tab on Underwater Archaeology Centre

Hi Alison and welcome! There was a cleanup tag on the page you created for Underwater Archaeology Centre. I think this had been put there for two reasons. First, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the article was written like a brochure - in general avoid 2nd person and write from an NPOV position. I know this is difficult for something that you care about deeply, but at least with wikipedia, other editors can come along and correct the style! Second point was that there are syntax tools provided in wikipedia to make things like titles and external references work. It takes a while to learn all of this stuff, but the trick is to "steal with pride". Find a page that looks good (like one of the featured articles) and take a look at how they have created that look. Anyway, I've tweaked the article so that the tag could be removed and also catregorized the article so others have maximum chance of finding it. One thing I can't fix is the image of the activity day. Please can you upload a full resolution version, and then use | thumb | in the syntax on the page to make it small. Have fun.
