== Creating Articles == Good work creating new articles. When you create things, it helps tremendously to assign them to an accurate category (see WP:CG for info). If you're really not sure about categories, at least assign your new articles a stub category (see WP:SC for info). By assigning a category, you help make sure your new articles don't get lost as 'orphans' that are not associated with related topics. Feco 01:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Märklin boxes

Hi DaleSchultz —
Do you think that the article Märklin boxes is strictly necessary? I'm not sure what the encyclopedic value of seeing all the different kinds of boxes that a company uses is. Might it not be better to condense the information into a paragraph or two with a single picture and add it to the Märklin article?
Either way, all the recent images you uploaded need copyright tags, even if you took them yourself. You can find out more at Wikipedia:Image description page, and look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to see what kind of tags would be appropriate. If you took them yourself, you could either tag them {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}, or you can tell me on my talk page where you got them from and I'll tag them myself.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Lightbluebox.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lightbluebox.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 01:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with links to mixmox.com (*|search current). Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. Since Wikipedia uses Nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
