 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

Thank you, I've enjoyed my time here so far so I think I'll definately be around. I'm starting to get the hang of the Wikipedia editing format but I'm keeping my edits to a minimum until I get a chance to read through all of the "How to edit" and other related articles.

I am glad I now have someone to direct questions to now. Thanks again Cbale2000 18:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * If you want to practice editing, you can use the Sandbox. You can do whatever you like there, but it will be reset later. Perfect for practicing. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 18:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Leasath flag.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Leasath flag.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 21:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Well... that's extreamly helpful... Tell me to add copyright information but don't bother to tell me HOW!! Geez... Sometimes the layout of this site can be nice but time like these it's REALLY annoying! Cbale2000 23:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, that automated bot did give you the links you need. Image copyright tags is a list of tags you can put onto your image to declare a copyright status. Choose one that is accurate and reflects your intentions. If you have anyother questions, just click the Ask me button on my signature and post the question on my talk page. I will be glad to help. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 17:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * What if you can't find any copyright that fits the image? In my case the image is the flag of a fictional country from a video game which is publicly available on several websites. What should I put in that case?
 * On another note, I actually don't care if the image gets deleted because I found a better one that was already uploaded by someone else. How does one go about deleting an image or do you just not? (Please still answer my previos question as it will affect images I will most likely upload in the future)Cbale2000 18:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Warnings
I replaced your warning with an official one you can find those here.Sam ov the blue sand 22:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

From: mobious_1: I hope this is how the PM works on Wikipedia, I've never done it before
Another simple solution: http://grab.cc/

it's like browsespace or XData...just works differently, I think.

A complicated solution which I don't understand (sory):

1) Get PuTTY 2) Use it to connect to a remote server 3) Get an shell account 4) Use links (a text web browser) to browse the web. Supposedly this is bad for websites that use alot of graphics.

To get PuTTY go to: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ For more information on PuTTY go to: http://www.infoanarchy.org/en/PuTTY

To get a shell account and use links.

1) Go to anapnea.net 2) Get an account 4) Use putty to connect to that server and use links

Apparently a text browser is included. IDK how this stuff works, sorry

If you can still get on to Trillion, IM me when you get the chance, even if I'm away, just to let me know how bad the damage was. I'll pass on along any orders you want given, seeing as I'm the only one who contacted you. Dubit is VERY eager to move into your office. --Mobious 1 19:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Aim High Logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Aim High Logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:X-02screen.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:X-02screen.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Minor edits
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' --  Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 20:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC) PS: Please note that any reversions, or talk page comments, are generally not considered minor edits in accordance with these policies.--  Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 20:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sorry bout that, it's bad habbit I got from frequenting another wiki where the rules are different. Cbale2000 (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Remember to Cite Sources
Over on the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" article, back in October of 2007, you stated on the Discussion page: "I just thought I should mention that the article tends to lean twards the idea that Microsoft Flight Simulator is "Realistic". Though it may look realistic (particularly the new Microsoft Flight Simulator X) it should be known that Microsoft Flight Simulator DOES NOT use realistic flight dynamics."

Please remember that the accuracy (and indeed life) of Wikipedia depends on verifiable sources (see Verifiability), and that by setting a good example for others in this department it fosters a better impression of Wikipedia's reliability and accuracy as a whole.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has been programmed by expert pilots, instructors, mathematicians, and aeronautics experts. It is FAA-approved (among other simulations) to use to attain up to 10 hours towards an IFR certification (when used with FAA-approved peripherals, such as a realistic flight yoke, throttle quadrant, etc.). It has been the subject of several books on it's practical application as a student training aid. And it was even issued, over in the UK, to actual student military pilots as part of the curriculum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheWizardOfAhz (talk • contribs) 20:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow talk about bring back the dead, a 2 year old comment I had forgotten about. Back when I made that comment, I was not reffering to the appearance or end result experience from the game, only pointing out that the game engine still uses a line-based system combined with using lookup tables to determine things such as lift or drag to make aircraft react to different envoronments (as do many other simulators). A truely realistic experience however, is one that calculates the actual effects of air as it travels past the wings on a virtual aircraft and does not require any actual figures on the performance of the aircraft (which is especially helpful if said figures are not available). I tend to draw my comparisons with the X-Plane (simulator) (which, by the way is also FAA-aproved for flight training). Take a look, and you should see what I mean.Cbale2000 (talk) 18:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:X-02screen.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:X-02screen.png. 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) 12:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
