[edit] Welcome
Hello Nilington, welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips:
- Learn about what we are trying to do by reading the five pillars of Wikipedia
- Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style. See if you can write a great article!
- Create a User page.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Read the Policies and guidelines.
- Add yourself to the New user log.
- If you don't know what to do or how to do something, there are lots of guides at the Help portal.
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Be bold!
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary.
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. If you ever get bored, or don't know how to help, visit the ToDo List at Community Portal. There are millions of jobs to be done, article to be improved, written, deleted, images added or edited, and groups/clubs to join!
If you have any questions, or just want a chat, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 18:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mont St. Michel Spire
Hello Nilington, and welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know that I have nominated your picture (Image:Mont St. Michel Spire.JPG) for Featured Picture Status. You can see the nomination and how it's progressing at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Hetar 19:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Niland Brothers
I just wanted to thank you for getting the pictures at the American Cemetery for the Niland Brothers article. I hope you don't mind that I made them a bit smaller so that they don't completely take over the screen. Keep up the good work! Joshdboz 20:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cemetery FPC
Hullo, Nilington. I just wanted to thank you for the great FPC picture. I'd also like to (since no one else has done it) Welcome you to Wikipedia! See my notice at the top of the page. Meanwhile, why don't you create yourself a userpage? If you want some inspiration, take a look at mine (and copy some code) or visit other people's by clicking on their names at FPC. Have fun! —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 18:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Train_into_Arosa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Train_into_Arosa.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 04:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
