Don't worry too much about being perfect. None of us are! But for help avoiding common mistakes, you can click here.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator, or, as before, leave a question at the New contributors' help page or the Help desk. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen.

I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know at my personal talk page. Everyone here was new at one time. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

[edit] Category:Health risks up for deletion

Hello! I saw your note over at Talk:Environmental health, and you are just the sort of person who needs to contribute to the discussion regarding the possible deletion of Category:Health risks that's taking place at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_1#Category:Health_risks. The WP:CFD opened on August 1, which means it will probably close in the next day (I will request that it be kept open... ) -- so if you want to participate in this very important discussion, time is of the essence. If you know of anyone else who could contribute to the discussion, please pass this on. Regards, Cgingold 00:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Quay Valley

Copyright laws can be complicated, but in my experience writing from high school, through college, to editing on Wikipedia, it is best to rephrase everything in your own words rather than merely copy and paste passages from somebody else. You can use the works of others as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. If you are going to copy and paste somebody else's words directly, you should enclose them inside quotation marks. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Hanford City Seal.jpeg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Hanford City Seal.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 02:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

Hello fellow Central Valleyer and Hanfordite :P just noticed the name on the recent changes, figured there were other Wikipedians about somewhere near me, just never noticed any. Dureo 03:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Carnegie 090907 2.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Carnegie 090907 2.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. 21:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mussel Slough

Hey, it seems like you live in the Hanford area. Would it be possible for you to get a picture of the site of Mussel Slough Tragedy? Perhaps the California Historical Landmark sign? Just trying to think of ways to improve that article. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 03:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I do live in the area and will take a photo of the site. There are some other things that I plan to add to the article. The wording of Historical Landmark is inaccurate in that it says that the two local men killed were Deputy U.S. Marshals, which they were not. Also, the dead and wounded men were laid out under an oak tree on the Brewer farm. The tree became famously known as the Tragedy Oak. It blew down in a storm in the early 1990s. A piece of the tree was saved as a memorial and is on display at a nearby school. Armona (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

There's one more {{fact}} tag in the opening sentence. I was wondering if perhaps you might be able to cite this to the Orsi book, which I don't have access to. Unfortunately, the editor who put in that sentence (User:Ahatcher) hasn't logged in recently, so s/he may not be of much help. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 05:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Orsi book either. I have the J.L. Brown book in my library but there is no support for that sentence there. Armona (talk) 03:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Gordo.jpg.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gordo.jpg.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
