Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, 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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Aloysius John Wycislo
I have had to chop out most of the content of the above article because they:
 * are articles from the website of the Diocese of Green Bay, and are press releases and information from the website on the day after his death, and are copyrighted to the diocese.

You may not publish copyrighted material on Wikipedia.

If the Diocese is willing to release its material to Wikipedia under the GFDL (see WP:Copyrights), I suggest:
 * place a notice hidden away in some corner of gbdioc.org saying ''material from this website is used by Wikipedia with permission
 * place a note in Talk:Aloysius John Wycislo giving a link to where the above release is hidden.

However please note that I (and, I think, most other editors here) consider that it is an insult to Wikipedia simply to copy and paste from elsewhere. Text should be prepared specifically for here.

Having said that, do feel free to expand the Wycislo article. Look at existing articles about other notable catholics (from the popes downward) for a feel for the style and remember that everything you posted is still there via the article's history tab. -- RHaworth 08:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Variations on the theme of Bishop David Allen Zubik
Hi there. I noticed you created the Bishop David Allen Zubik article and also put the same information in articles named Bishop Zubik and David A. Zubik. If you go to these two articles now you will notice that I have changed them to redirect to the main Bishop David Allen Zubik article. This is the standard Wikipedia way of dealing with subjects which have several possible variations of the name so that there is just one article to add information to rather than three or four different ones - e.g. whether you search for Byron, Lord Byron or George Gordon Byron you should end up at the same page.

To create a redirect page all you need to do is add, #redirectBishop David Allen Zubik and nothing else.

See Redirect for more info. --Spondoolicks 17:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Wycislo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wycislo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore 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 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 or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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.
