From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Hello, Swingbeaver, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try our tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- Keep the Five Pillars of Wikipedia in mind, and remember to write from a neutral point of view.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~, or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask a question at the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome, and good luck!

[edit] mikmaw name for halifax/chebutco
I thought Halifax was called "Jipugtug" (said, to my wasp ears: jee-pook-took or jee-poog-toog". I I was just wondering out of honest curiosity what source you used for "gespogwitg"... I was researching if Mikmaq ever really called Pugwash "pagwaek" (supposedly "deep water") and stumbled across http://www.mikmaqonline.org/ which is fantastic because it has an audio component with three speakers saying the word in quicktime files.... but it did not have either a word for deep water, or pugwash! Anyway, I extremely glad to see the micmac there. If you can cross confirm that jipugtug is what was later anglisised into "chebucto" I would like to put that on the Halifax page... thanks again!

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sb00001.gif

|
Thanks for uploading Image:Sb00001.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 01:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image source problem with Image:On the Road Cadillac.png
Thanks for uploading Image:On the Road Cadillac.png. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 00:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 140.247.249.16 (talk) 00:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
