User talk:TwilaStar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi TwilaStar, 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) 19:35, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] West Virginia Candidate for US Collaboration of the Week

Hey Twila, I've added West Virginia's main article to the list of candidates for US Collaboration of the Week. The article is in much need of reorganization and lacks a lot of information. I was hoping that with some extra exposure and some wiki teamwork we can get the article up to par with other U.S. state articles. Please voice your comments and vote at the US Collaboration page. Thanks! --Caponer 03:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US Collaboration of the week

You have voted for [[{{{1}}}]] on the USCOTW. It was selected to be this week's collaboration. You are invited to help to contribute in order to improve [[{{{1}}}]] in any way possible. Cmadler 14:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] welcome

Actually, you're one of the lucky ones to get a welcome within a day of your first edit—some people I've welcomed have been around for a year without ever having someone welcome them. With so many people creating accounts, it's tough to keep track of them all, especially when so many of them don't stay for very long. So anyway, I'm glad you're back; hope to see you around soon, and good luck with the West Virginia article! --Spangineer (háblame) 17:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Collabo

I love your use of the U.S. Collabo bar...it's a shame that more contributors aren't clicking on it to help the five or six of us that are dedicated to making West Virginia a decent article. --Caponer 01:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Us-va-ar.gif

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Us-va-ar.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is 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-self}} 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. Dethomas 07:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Acseal.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Acseal.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
