Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello DarkSword, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips:
 * First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
 * Learn how Articles for deletion works.
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button.
 * Provide an Edit summary.
 * Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
 * Check out the Community Portal.
 * Create a User page.
 * Be bold.
 * Ignore all rules.
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else how to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. Just click on this link and type   followed by your question. An experienced editor will be along shortly to answer your question 24/7. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this:. Four tildes(~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Your contribution is credited on articles' history pages. Again, welcome!

Hi!
I saw your note on the New Contributors Help Page, and decided to say hi and welcome. How are you going? If you'd like to contact anyone, just go to their talk page and leave a comment- once you edit a few more articles and get more well-known, more people will contact you to discuss issues or ask questions. Enjoy Wikipedia, and happy editing-  Cat tleG irl  '' talk 03:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:TNA Music 1.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:TNA Music 1.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 03:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alex Koslov, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/a/alex-koslov.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Please don't add fansites to wikipedia as externnal links, and claim that they are official websites, as you did to Jake Hager. This edit added jack-swagger.com as Hager's official website, when, it's actually fansite, according to the website itself. Please be aware of wikipedia's external links policy, and note that fansites are not considered acceptable external links. Thanks, ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 13:52, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello DarkSword! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 05:34, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dick Cardinal


The article Dick Cardinal has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Michig (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Team International


The article Team International has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unverified and lacking evidence of notability for 13.78 years"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
