Hello, Wabed, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I added a "notability" tag to the article you started about Will Beinbrink. I can't help wondering if you are Mr. Beinbrink. If so, you might want to take a look at WP:AUTO for why it's a bad idea to write an article about yourself. Even if you're not Mr. Beinbrink, you'll want to check out WP:BIO to see what a person has to do to get an article written about them. Obviously we can't have articles on all 6 billion living people and the many who've passed on already.

[edit] RE: What the f***

You wrote on my talk page:

dude what is your problem, i used your Jessica Biel page as a template for a page i was making. i made a mistake, and thought i fixed it. it is not like i actually "vandalised" your work by adding grossly inaccurate facts about her, at the worst i can remeber doing is adding a gallery to it. That is hardly grounds for calling someone a "vandal". But you have got to be more understanding (like your quote of the day says "So if you encounter a mistake by a new user please do not bite the newbie.") for new users like me. i don't know enough "Wikiquette" to make a homepage for myself.

Wabed, there are several points I'd like to make:

  1. The warning message that I posted on your previous talk page was a standard one for when nonsense has been added to a page. If you look at your edit, you inserted two nonsense images with default captions at the top of the page. If I had not reverted your change and sent the warning that I did, someone else would have.
  2. I did not call you a vandal. The warning message says that adding nonsense to a page is considered vandalism, and it asked that you not do it again.
  3. I did not "bite the newbie". I reverted your change and posted a standard warning on your talk page. I did not use profanity or otherwise try to insult you. If you think there's something wrong with the way the warning process works, I recommend that you open a request for comment to see if the warning or the process should be changed.
  4. Along those lines, you might consider whether your message to me (starting with the subject: "What the f***") was appropriate. I didn't appreciate it.
  5. If you need help with setting up a user page, I can probably help. Just let me know what you're trying to do.

Good luck. --JFreeman (talk) 17:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] May 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. An article you recently created, Skitch, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

[edit] License tagging for Image:Blitz road rovers2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blitz road rovers2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Shag road rovers.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Shag road rovers.jpg. 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) 20:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
