User talk:Digital20

Hi, Digital20, Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly. ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs

Welcome Bot
I am not familiar with any welcome bots, but I am sure something could be created. I don't think one has so that there is still an element of humanity to the process. I am not sure that is the reason, but that would be my reason for not using one. -- Kf4bdy talk contribs 04:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WaitingfortheInterurban.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WaitingfortheInterurban.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 11:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Damon Huardism
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. GregorB (talk) 11:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Test pages
Wikipedia does not allow test pages in the main namespace (where the articles are), so I've deleted the page you created. If you want a page to show other people how to use Wikipedia, you can either use the Sandbox, your userpage, or you can create a user subpage. Editing Wikipedia is the same no matter what page you're editing, so there will be no loss to demonstrating editing in your userspace. An explanation of how to create subpages can be found at Subpages. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Natalie (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Damon huardism
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Damon huardism, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

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) 22:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Damon huardism, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste: talk 22:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

User Page Displayed as Article?
The page 'Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements' is currently displaying a link to your User page, which contains material relating to something you call 'Damon huardism'. This material appears to be similar to an article called 'Damon huardism' which was deleted on 12 December 2007 having been assessed to be substantially incoherent and lacking content. Is there a specific reason why you have now linked the User page to that category listing instead, and if not, can the tag on your User page please be removed? - Shrivenzale (talk) 01:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone really minds things like "Damon Huardism" being in your sandbox pages -- at least, I don't, I thought it was kind of funny -- but when you add the article to real categories like Caetgory:People from Yakima, Washington or you run the risk of misleading people and getting them upset to find both the article about the real person and your joke. I think if you took out the category links, you probably wouldn't be bothering anyone (I suggest that this goes for any links you might have made into "Damon Huardism", for the same reason).  I hope you don't mind; I'd be unhappy to think that Wikipedia couldn't handle bits of humour in their proper place, but when they get mixed up with the real thing, that can be a problem.  I don't know what the official policy is about joke pages in personal sandboxes, so this isn't an official complaint, just a friendly suggestion.  Please let me know if there's something further I can do.  Accounting4Taste: talk 17:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided - one is April 8 (Wednesday) starting at 6 pm and the other is April 18 (Saturday) starting at 10 am. (Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration.) Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 18:29, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mask1b.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Mask1b.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 08:01, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

DRN Volunteer Roll Call - Action Required
There has been no roll call since November 2017 so with that said, it is time to clean up the volunteer list. Please go to the Roll Call list and follow the instructions. If no response is received by May 30, 2020, it will be assumed that you no longer wish to participate and you will be removed as a DRN volunteer. Thank you for your attention to this and for helping Wikipedians in their dispute processes.
