[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Tonytypoon: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!--File Éireann 17:38, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!

[edit] Vanity

Hi Tony. Please leave messages on users' talk pages, not their user pages. Thanks.

A vanity article is an article written by the subject of the article. This doesn't seem to be the case with Xiaxue and Kenny Sia, which have been worked on by many different users. But if you disagree, then please go ahead and nominate them for deletion. CLW 19:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

  • What I was trying to point out, by using Xiaxue and Kenny Sia as comparison , that Chin Wee Loon article is not vanity. Okay I will leave it in your talkpage.Tonytypoon 19:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image deletions

Images have been deleted as requested. CLW 21:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a tip

It's generally considered poor form to badger every person who has input at an AfD, as you have been doing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chin Wee Loon‎. You have asserted the subject's notability, which is fine, but repeating your assertions ad nauseam only makes the discussion harder for others to read and makes you seem confrontational. You are free to offer your input in whatever way you feel is appropriate, but saying the same thing over and over will not help keep the article on Wikipedia.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:AABnWL.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AABnWL.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 04:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bushtalk

Can you explain what your vote here means and how it relates to the discussion at hand? Metros232 05:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I've made a reply to your clarification at the discussion page there. Metros232 05:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For deletion participation

Tony, I REALLY suggest you stop !voting at AFDs, IFDs, RFDs, etc. until you get a better understanding of Wikipedia. Your !vote at the redirect for the BushTalk quite obviously shows your misunderstanding of a lot of Wikipedia policies and features. Other comments like article does not make sense to me or image makes sense are not valid reasons to delete or keep something. Please reconsider your involvement with "for deletion" discussions until you have some better knowledge of Wikipedia. Metros232 06:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty. Tonytypoon 06:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Agree! Tony, please read this and then revisit your comments here. Roguegeek (talk) 07:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:AABnWL.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AABnWL.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 05:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of songs containing covert references to real musicians

You may want to weigh in at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 April 15#List of songs containing covert references to real musicians, since you were involved in a previous discussion of this article. - Jmabel | Talk 05:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC) Done.Tonytypoon 15:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expert needed on Noah's Ark

You put an "expert needed" tag on Noah's Ark - specifically on the section headed "The Ark under scrutiny", which deals with science/biblical scholarship and the Ark. Wouldyou mind coming back and telling us on the Talk page exactly what you feel needs attention? Thanks 20:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
