Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Aaronlife,

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:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

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  on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

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 two hyphens followed by four tildes. The software that runs Wikipedia will automatically convert this into a signature which contains your username and the date and time you posted the message, so other users don't get confused.

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 on your userpage. Please add  to your userpage.

Deepwater Sunshine
The article Deepwater Sunshine has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a person or group of persons but it does not indicate how or why that person or group is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

 * Hi Aaron. while the salvia song is good, it doesn't qualify under wikipedia's external link guidelines, and is something we have to regard as spam.  Sorry, but the band and song really aren't notable, and you aren't supposed to add links to your own site.  -- he  ah  17:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Monokini.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Monokini.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. (ESkog)(Talk) 15:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe you can save the image in two ways. If you have the permission to use it, please, collect a ticket through this system. If you don't have the appropriate permission required, please, use an appropriate tag from this list. I found image very useful and encyclopedic, and I would like to retain the image for the article. A lot would depend upon the steps you take. Cheers. Aditya (talk • contribs) 16:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Hangon
Hi Aaronlife,

there is no need to add the hangon template where the situation is already taken care of. You added it to a bunch of pictures. Earlier I added the or  tags to indicate to the automated picture patrollers that it is public domain. If you add it puts it back on the list of things to delete! It implies that you are going to fix it very soon. When I see it, I allow the tagger to get a few more hours to fix the problem before deleting, that is if it is not an obvious thing to delete!

File:Pontoosuc.jpg
Hi for File:Pontoosuc.jpg

This does not look to be that old! More like early 1970s. The lettering style looks newish, and waterskiing was not around in early last century. Can you make a better estimate for the date for this one? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Might be early 70s, but water skiing has been around since the 1920s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BCE8:8750:A5C1:EA8B:F8F8:C7CD (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Monokini.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Monokini.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. Vanjagenije 18:40, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Good information about Prof. Sugarman in Ice bath
What an unusual person. Thanks for adding.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. Yes, very interesting. There is a great deal of information about his winter exploits, including walking a mile barefooted through the snow on a bet, and an interview where he expouses his principles of healthy living, on www.fultonhistory.com. He claimed the ice baths cured him of cartarrh (sinus issues) and he wasn't sick for years. When he finally did get sick, in the summer, it made the news (Prof Sugarman is Ill, Utica Daily Herald, August 10, 1909).

Yes. We are biased.
Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, once wrote:


 * "Wikipedia’s policies [...] are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals – that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.


 * What we won’t do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of 'true scientific discourse'. It isn’t.  "

So yes, we are biased.

We are biased towards science and biased against pseudoscience. We are biased towards astronomy, and biased against astrology. We are biased towards chemistry, and biased against alchemy. We are biased towards mathematics, and biased against numerology. We are biased towards medicine, and biased against homeopathy. We are biased towards venipuncture, and biased against acupuncture. We are biased towards actual conspiracies and biased against conspiracy theories. We are biased towards cargo planes, and biased against cargo cults. We are biased towards vaccination, and biased against vaccine hesitancy. We are biased towards magnetic resonance imaging, and biased against magnetic therapy. We are biased towards crops, and biased against crop circles. We are biased towards laundry detergent, and biased against laundry balls. We are biased towards augmentative and alternative communication, and biased against facilitated communication. We are biased towards water treatment, and biased against magnetic water treatment. We are biased towards mercury in saturated calomel electrodes, and biased against mercury in quack medicines. We are biased towards blood transfusions, and biased against blood letting. We are biased towards electromagnetic fields, and biased against microlepton fields. We are biased towards evolution, and biased against creationism. We are biased towards holocaust studies, and biased against holocaust denial. We are biased towards the sociology of race, and biased against scientific racism. We are biased towards the scientific consensus on climate change, and biased against global warming conspiracy theories. We are biased towards geology, and biased against flood geology. We are biased towards medical treatments that have been proven to be effective in double-blind clinical trials, and biased against medical treatments that are based upon preying on the gullible. We are biased towards astronauts and cosmonauts, and biased against ancient astronauts. We are biased towards psychology, and biased against phrenology. We are biased towards mendelism, and biased against lysenkoism.

And we are not going to change. Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
