[edit] Welcome

Hello BakerBaker and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,

Wikipedia:Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly,
Wikipedia:Tutorial is more in-depth, and
Wikipedia:Topical index is exhaustive.

Five Pillars of Wikipedia

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildas like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 07:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:RG_Wiki_01.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:RG_Wiki_01.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 06:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization conventions

I noticed that you added the headings "Family Life" and "Relationship With Veronica" to Logan Echolls. Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), I've changed these to "Family life" and "Relationship with Veronica", using sentence case — that is, only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. Please consider this in your future edits, and thank you for your cooperation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:37, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wanda By Kirby.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wanda By Kirby.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.

Hi. You added some information to The Simpsons shorts article. The information was itself interesting, but I need to know a source for it. I have reverted your edit for now and once you can cite a source, it will be put back into the article again. See also Talk:The Simpsons shorts. If you have any questions then please ask there. --Maitch 21:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Equus_col4_hires.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Equus_col4_hires.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  But|seriously|folks  04:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sally Floyd edits

Here's what I said at the SF Talk Page; posting here to be sure you see it:

Four things: (1) please do not confuse my good faith edits, aimed at keeping the entry informative and objective, with vandalism. I have never vandalized the wikipedia, nor have I used it as a platform to express my personal opinions, which is what I believe that you are engaged in doing. My edits were aimed, as I stated in my summary, at making the article clearer; providing a full description of the character's appearances; correcting errors of grammar, spelling, and sense; and making the descriptions concise. (2) I have no problem with fan reaction, or incorporating fan reaction into the entry: we just need to provide evidence for it. Fan reaction is "nebulous" when it is invoked without any citations to the presumed reaction appearing in the entry. (3) I'm sorry, but you cannot deploy a writer's parody (of himself!) as evidence of his, or anyone else's, opinion: no rules or conventions of evidence that I know of would allow that. (4) You need to think seriously about interacting civilly with our fellow editors: if you're looking for a place to rant about characters you hate, and engage in verbal fisticuffs with people who disagree with you, do it at your personal blog, not on the wikipedia. Given your stance, which you state yourself as being implaccable, ("I'll ... change the article [sic] "no matter what"), I think it makes sense to bring in a neutral reader to assess the situation.--Galliaz (talk) 14:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] That 90's show

Please don't make large edits like that without discussing on the talk page and without an edit summary. It's starting to look like vandalism. For example why did you remove the fully referenced Back to the Future reference? And why does there need to be a separate guest star section? No other Simpson article has it. And the continuity is original research and not notable since the Simpsons often change their continuity and aren't consistent.--The Dominator (talk) 04:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at That 90's Show. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

And read WP:NOR too. -- Scorpion0422 04:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to user:Dominik92, you will be blocked from editing. --The Dominator (talk) 04:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Even if it is important, Wikipedia shouldn't be saying so unless it has been covered in a reliable source, specifically in reference to the episode. —Random832 04:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
