==Welcome== Hello Mr krisp 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. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.

If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

Float around 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. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 09:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Toyota Corolla/Wikiproject Automobiles

Mr. Krisp, thanks for your wonderful work on the Toyota Corolla article. Your knowledge on the issue is impressive, and I believe with just a little more effort this can easily become a featured article! I hope you will continue to work on it for it to achieve this status - it deserves it!

First of all, I encourage you to join Wikiproject Automobiles, which groups users working on automobile-related articles. Have a look at the conventions agreed upon there. You can ask other members for help there, we surely will.

A good article should cite its sources to make sure all information contained therein are verifiable. You can find an example of an article citing sources for all information here. I hope your vast Corolla knowledge will enable you to find sources for most of the information contained in the article.

I have also noticed you modified the article's infobox. Please be informed that now, besides the general Automobile infobox, we also have an Automobile generation infobox for vehicles with multiple (and significantly different) generations. An article using both and a good example of what should be put in the general, and what in the generational infobox, is the Saab 9-3 article. Please also abide by some infobox conventions:

  • see how we present body styles with regard to the number of doors
  • a liftback is a recognized body style separate from hatchback, which is especially important in the case of Toyota Corolla, who had both running alongside for some time
  • we list all variants of transmissions, so 4-speed, 5-speed and 6-speed manuals would get their own lines in the infobox, the "4-to-6 speed manuals" description is not detailed enough

Thanks and have fun! In case I could help you anyway, I will be glad to!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2TGEU_2.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2TGEU_2.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:3TGTE.jpg

I have tagged Image:3TGTE.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 06:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
