User talk:Coldcaffeine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome, Coldcaffeine!
Hello Coldcaffeine, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.
Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia, and comes highly recommended.
Here're some handy links:
- Help:Contents is the list of all of the information you need to use Wikipedia. Wikipedia's Help desk is the best place to ask questions to which you can't find the answers. Also, a lot more good information is at Meta, which is often more up-to-date (as Meta is where information that pertains to all of the different Wikimedia projects, such as editing help, is stored and modified). Meta's Help section is located at m:Help:Contents, and more information about it can be found at Wikipedia:Meta and m:Meta:About.
- Wikipedia:How to edit a page gives editing help. Whenever you're editing a page, there'll be a link to it below the editing box and to the right of the "Save page" and "Preview" buttons, for easier access.
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style gives formatting information.
- Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but you don't need to read it all at once. Our five most important tenets are listed under Wikipedia:Five pillars, and there's an easier-to-read version of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines at Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset. Our privacy policy is at Wikipedia:Privacy policy.
- Wikipedia:Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving, which is often an important feature.
Remember to sign your name on talk pages by typing " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp (which is generally preferred). The software will automatically convert this upon saving the page.
If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. I'll answer if I'm here. If you like, you can ask here, on your own talk page (for your own easier reference), but please let me know by posting a note on my talk page saying that you've replied.
Take care, and good wiki-ing,

While notable for Seattle and the U.S., did this event even get air time anywhere else? In short, is this local tragedy of world-significance? I think this belongs more on the current events page than a date article. Would you reconsider? Rklawton 08:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- I considered this. It is (as of this typing) on the front page of the BBC's Americas news site. [1] And it is certainly significant for this region of the nation where homicides are not as prominent as other large American cities. -ColdCaffeine 08:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Konp logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Konp logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
