Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Barefeetdude! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! User:Marek69. 17:54, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Displaying images
Hi Barefeetdude, I thought I'd let you know that you can't display an image from another site on Wikipedia (as you are attempting to do on the Gurten, Bern article). It simply doesn't work. In order to display an image, it must first be uploaded it to Wikipedia. If you have a suitable image (for example a photo you took yourself, or a copyright free version from somewhere else) you can upload images at Special:Upload. For more info on this please read the information on Uploading images. Kind Regards -- User:Marek69. 19:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Gurten_Bern.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Gurten_Bern.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

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. Closedmouth (talk) 11:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Passportguy,

I was wanting to ask you if I could use your map which you used for the German version of the Wikipedia page Schweizer Pass. I translated most of it now in English and would kindly like to ask your permission if I could use it on the English page as well.

Kiund regards,

Disambiguation link notification for March 20
Hi. When you recently edited Haberdasher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alsatian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikilinks
Hi Barefeetdude,

You might want to take a look at MOS:LINKS to see when it is and is not a good idea to provide wikilinks. Normally, ordinary English words such as mother or divorce aren't wikilinked unless they have some special importance to the article. If you're interested in links, you might enjoy helping with the Disambiguation taskforce.

Also, there's a guideline on what nationalities are appropriate to mention in leads at WP:OPENPARA.

Jackson Hurst
Please stop adding an unsourced birthdate to the Jackson Hurst article. All birthdates need to be referenced with verifiable sources, which is particularly important in an article of a living person (see WP:BLP). I have reverted your edits. Thank you. Safehaven86 (talk) 20:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Peter Andre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Harrow (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
