- To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

[edit] Copyright abuses
Hello, this message is in response to the deletion of material on this wikipage. Tens of thousands of images have been deleted by a small handful of wikipedians.
Would you be interested in joining a group on wikipedia which counters the heavy handed tactics of the copyright police. I can't fight them on my own. User talk:Ed g2s has began deleting fair use image on every person's user page and on several other pages, inspired by WP:FUC which was written by another paternal copyright policeman with absolutly no legal training and little understanding of copyright law.
I stared this page, with this purpose: User:Travb/Misguided and heavy handed tactics of some admins regarding copyright
Please tell others about this project. The paternal copyright police are well organized and are intoxicated with their own limited power here on wikipedia. Only a large number of wikipedians will stop this abuse. Travb 13:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UE logo
Being licensed under the CC-BY-NC license, the only way the image can be used on Wikipedia is under fair use, which only allows it on the article about UE. We can't make exceptions to this policy. If the image were relicensed by yourself under a license acceptable to Wikipedia, then that would change this situation, but giving specific permission is not enough. ed g2s • talk 16:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Note also your image could be considered a derivative work, and therefore an inringement of Wikimedia's copyright. ed g2s • talk 16:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, images must be free to use for any use, including commercial works, and must be free to make derivative works. ed g2s • talk 16:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm coming in kind of late here, but Rcmurphy created that image, so I believe he can use it for whatever he wants. tmopkisn tlka 18:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No picture for you!
The terror of the paternal copyright police
User:ed_g2s continues to delete your awesome image from my talk page. Please tell him to go play paternal guardian of wikipedia to someone else. His I am "only doing what's best for wikipedia" routine is getting stale, when the underlying reason is he intoxicated and blinded with the little power that wikipedia has given him.Travb 14:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Travb doesn't like over zealous Wikipedia Cops deleting articles prematurely. |
[edit] UE Logo II
Hello. I just wonder if you would consider relicensing the Image:Uncyclopedia_logo.png, I uploaded to WP some time ago, under an WP compatible license? Because I was thinking about using it in a template or on my user page. (Currently it's licensed as fair use) -- havarhen | Talk 23:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
