[edit] Images

When uploading images please always edit the image description page and do two things:

State the source of the image (the address of a web page, the title of the book or "I created this image myself.")
State the copyright. The easiest way to list the copyright is to use a copyright tag. The most important tags are {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}, and {{fairuse}}. GFDL is for images that you create yourself. PD is for public domain images (either pre-1923 or released by the copyright holder). Fair use is for copyrighted images that we can use under the fair use rules in the USA.

Without proper source and copyright information, images will eventually be deleted!

You can view the image description page by clicking on an image, and edit it like any other wikipedia page: by clicking on the "edit this page" tab.

For more information:

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know exactly where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much.

[edit] Categories and stubs

[edit] Categories

It is a good idea to add categories to articles. You can do this by adding

[[Category: Name of category]]

at the end of your articles. Doing this will allow users to see the page when browsing a particular category. Most often, there are existing categories that your pages will fit in to. The easiest way to find this is to look for existing articles on similar and related subjects, to see what categories they are in.

[edit] Stubs

You use the {{stub}} template a lot in your articles. Marking a page as a stub is good practise, though there is a move towards using relevant topic stubs (see WP:WSS). A full list of them can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs.

For example, if you create a stub article on an actor, rather than using the {{stub}} template, it is much better to use the {{actor-stub}} template.

Many people are going through the stub articles and marking them with a topic stub instead (again, see WP:WSS). If users use topic stubs to begin with, it makes everything easier for everyone.

[edit] Thanks

Many thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, and I hope the information given will help you towards creating and editing even better articles.

[edit] comment

Hello. In head unit, trace evidence, and some other articles, you're using too many capital letters. See my edits to those pages and Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Michael Hardy 00:27, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Also, in your article Wirth Lake, I can't even tell what country the lake is in, let alone anything more specific about its location. Michael Hardy 00:28, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Monarchist Corrections

I just deleted mention of the Constantian Society from your American Monarchist Party article because,as I said in my comments,I have run their email box and their website (current URL is http://www.put.com/~monarchy/ and the Tripod site is out of date) since 1999,and I've never HEARD of the American Monarchist Party you say it is part of.Neither has Don Marinelli,who remains a professor at Carnegie-Mellon University (the Shrewsbury, Massachusetts P.O. Box was rented by our Secretary-General,John Kelleher...it's probably out of date at this point as we've lost touch with him).--Louis Epstein/le@put.com/12.144.5.2 03:48, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Enriched limit

Hi there -- your article, Enriched limit is currently nominated for deletion. I don't know anything about the topic, but the problem seems to be that nobody can find references to the term using internet search engines. I've never seen it myself, but that doesn't mean much. Anyway, the article needs really at least one good reference to stay alive at the moment. Just letting you know. --Fastfission 02:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Can you answer my question at talk:Wirth Lake (Oregon)? Thanks. Michael Hardy 23:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
