From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi ScottAlanHill, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 18:45, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image replaced and up for deletion
Hi, I've replaced the image Image:EastonFlag.jpg, uploaded by you, with Image:Flag of Easton, Pennsylvania.svg because SVG is a more suitable format for images with no photographical content. The original image has been listed for deletion—hope this is OK. –Mysid 07:08, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Fine by me. Thanks for making the change. -SAH
[edit] Template:Mb

[edit] Waterbirth
Good work on the introduction to waterbirth. It's been needing that for a while.Gillyweed 04:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:GrahamCrowden.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:GrahamCrowden.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Simpler math notation
This edit makes things more complicated than necessary: instead of
- \mathrm{det}\,A
you can just write this:
- \det A
\det is a math operator in TeX, so it automatically prevents italicization and results in proper spacing between "det" and "A":

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:GrahamCrowden.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:GrahamCrowden.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
