User talk:Christopher Isar

Hello , and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to  be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.

If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.

I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Once again, welcome! Michael

Capitalizing headers
Hey, I saw your work on the Isar. However, I just wanted you to know that when typing headers on Wikipedia, only the first word is supposed to be capitalized unless following words are proper. For example, in a biography, we might have a header "Young life" as opposed to "Young Life". I just thought you should know, and I hope you enjoy using Wikipedia. Michael 07:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Check now. They're there.  I had to revert your edit before reinstating them. Michael 08:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but looking over the acronyms, they really aren't supposed to be in the article, as the article is explicitly about the river. The acronyms would actually be ISAR.  You also need to sign comments with four tildes.  A tilde is ~. Michael 08:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * For right now, we'll put these here, since we can't have them on the article:

Common Acronyms:

International Society for Astrological Research International Society for Antiviral Research Institute for the Study of Academic Racism International Society for Animal Rights International Search and Rescue Institute for the Study of American Religion Internet Standards Assessment Report International Symposium on Audit Research

I'll see what I can do about this. Michael 08:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're also only allowed to sign on talk pages, not main articles. Michael 08:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You may want to go to ISAR and make it into a disambiguation page, listing each of the acronyms and giving a brief description on what they are next to them. Michael 08:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Did you ever get to that? Michael 07:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:James Bickford (Racing Driver).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:James Bickford (Racing Driver).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
 * Note: the webpage you linked as containing a license statement does not appear to contain any licensing information other than a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. Nick—Contact/Contribs 23:16, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
