Welcome!
'''Hello,, Welcome  to Wikipedia! '''I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and 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 the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal &mdash; and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.'''

Additional tips:
 * Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
 * If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
 * Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
 * You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
 * If your first language isn't English, try Contributing to articles outside your native language

Happy editing! Mel Etitis ( &Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf; ) 23:31, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Baseball players
Welcome! Please note that you shouldn't add names to the List of Major League Baseball players until their article is active. Also, please include the name you're adding in the Edit summary box; it saves time when looking at the history page to see what's been added. Having said that, it's good to have you involved!

Your signature

Welcome to the American Football wikiproject
Hey, I noticed that you recently joined the American Football wikiproject. I notice that in the member section, you note that you are interested in working on articles related to the 49ers. We certainly welcome you to our project, but the focus of this project is to work on cleaning up the general football articles, esp. those related to strategy terms (formations, plays, strategies, schemes, sets, etc. etc.). You are free to help out with those article, but you should really check out the WikiProject National Football League. There you will find relevent discussions to issues specific to the national football leagues, especially players, coaches, and teams that play there. But we DO welcome and value you contributions to the articles here. So good luck and happy editing! --Jayron32 20:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

49ers stuff
Hey, the 49ers stuff is looking cool. But check out the WikiProject National Football League. That project may have templates and things already to go. Check with articles in that wikiproject to make sure all NFL articles have a uniform style. If you are interested in general football strategy type articles, be sure to check in on WikiProject American football We need all of the help we can get there. Check out the discussion page to see what we are currently working on there. --Jayron32 23:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Shawntae Spencer.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Shawntae Spencer.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. -- Chowbok  ☠  16:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Andris_Biedrins.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Andris_Biedrins.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is either no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use, or else the rationale given is not valid. 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. MER-C 12:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Giantsrule! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 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:

Proposed deletion of Ben Emanuel


The article Ben Emanuel has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:GNG, WP:NHOOPS, WP:NCOLLATH. There is no basis to keep this, and it is being used for promotion of the nn athlete's nn post playing career."

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.

Proposed deletion of Tony Bobbitt
