Howdy
Hi, David Jacobs, welcome  to Wikipedia!

Howdy &mdash; hope you're having a good Thursday. I just wanted to drop off a quick note to welcome you to Wikipedia

There are a few things you probably want to keep in mind as you traverse Wikipedia:


 * Please write with a neutral point of view. This is perhaps the most important tenet of Wikipedia &mdash; write neutrally, and don't interject your opinion into articles.


 * Please assume that people's actions are well-meant, unless they've given you ample cause to believe otherwise. On Wikipedia, this is referred to as "assuming good faith."


 * If you get into disagreements with others, please try to work it out civilly and without personal attacks. If worse comes to worse, Wikipedia has methods for resolving disagreements, but it is best if the parties can work out by themselves ... and it reflects best on you, too.


 * Please respect others' copyrights &mdash; that means it's not kosher to just cut and paste from webpages.


 * If you need somewhere to goof around with things, try the Sandbox &mdash; please don't edit articles just to test them. But when you feel ready to, you don't need to hesitantly ask permission &mdash; if you think you've got a solid contribution to make, we encourage you to be bold.


 * Please sign any message you leave on a talk page (not your contributions to an article, but any personal messages you might leave on an article's talk page or a person's talk page) with four tildes. This will sign your name.  Four tildes look like this: ~

More rules of the road can be found here, and a full list of policies can be found here.

If you'd like to learn more about Wikipedia, there are a few good places to start. Check out the welcome to newcomers, the introduction, and the tutorial.

If I can be of any help, please feel free to drop a line on my talk page by clicking below (if you do so, though, be sure to {{#if:y|add my talk page to your brand-new watchlist to make it easier for you to }}check back there for my response). But since I'm not always available, you may get a quicker response by typing   on this page, and an experienced Wikipedian will shortly come around to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks ... and again, welcome! &mdash; Mike

Edit to God
The South Park image, while amusing, probably isn't the best image for an encyclopedia article about God. :) Justin Eiler 04:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The O.C.
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and are immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Matthew 18:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Dick cheney.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dick cheney.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 21:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
