[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Jpkotta, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the five pillars of Wikipedia. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

[edit] Bald Eagle

On Wikipedia, the convention is that all bird species are capitalised, so I've reverted you r change to lower case, jimfbleak 15:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Style tip

Hi, and welcome (you seem new :) Just a tip. Per Wikipedia guidelines, it is

===External links==

and not

==External Links==

(lowercase that is). Same in other section names, only the first letter is uppercase. Thought I would let you know. :) Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hey, you added an external link on Bar product (coding theory) that is now defunct - any chance you have the pdf? (The link was to http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~johnson/part2.pdf by the way). Thanks ...adam... 22:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cows sorry in pig minor.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cows sorry in pig minor.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
