From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Wolf grey,Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks.

[edit] WebPaws.com

At present, while it is a pleasant enough article, the entry fails WP:CORP. Simply adding links to articles which appear to have been self created on the net to enhance your own company is deprecated. Please look at enhancing the article to assert notability of the company. Failure to do so means the article is unlikely to survive the deletion process, a process you are welcome to contribute to. Please note WP:NOT Fiddle Faddle 10:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Probably better either to use this page or the article's talk page for "Working comments". The main issue is that in the Ghits for WebPaws, in the first 100 references pretty much all are "trade puffery". That has produced you a decent Google page rank (though not as great as one might hope for a specialist web company), but so far nothing that seems to assert notability for wikipedia. There is a great divide between search engine results position and Wiki notability. It may simply be that the company is too young to be notable yet in wiki terms. What is required is stuff that breaks through WP:CORP and proves beyond doubt that the company is worth an encyclopaedia entry. Would it make the cut in (eg) Brittanica? I appreciate you are working hard to ensure the article survives. In general those commenting in nominations for deletion do revise their opinion when they see sufficient material present, though it is a subjective opinion. Also the closing admin looks at the article as an article and comes to a balanced conclusion. You are, of course, entitled to place your own "vote" (it is not a ballot) on the nomination page, where it will be given due consideration as well. At the end you may simply have to accept that the article failed to make it this time around. Fiddle Faddle 07:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continued spamming

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. This is in reference to your recent edits to Jessica Alba. --Yamla 15:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Yamla How was adding (I believe it was a fan site) to the external links spamming? Please help me understand your determination that this was spam. I will not knowingly add "spam" to wikipedia's content. I will however add material that may help someone else find more info about a topic, but I need to know how you determined that last add was "spam". Please help me understand your logic. Best Regards, Wolf 22:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, fan sites are generally not appropriate additions to Wikipedia articles. Please see WP:EL. A single fan-site may be added in exceptional circumstances but as a general rule, they are not appropriate. --Yamla 23:24, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Note that you may want to read the links left by TehKewl1 above, back in June. WP:EL, WP:SPAM, WP:NOT, etc. --Yamla 23:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speech synthesis up for FAR

Hi there,

You're listed in the edit history of this article. I wonder whether you're able to help bring it up to FA standard again? Please see WP:FAR#Speech_synthesis.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Ted Dangelmayer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ted Dangelmayer.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 06:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Naa logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Naa logo.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. BetacommandBot 15:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
