Welcome
Hello,, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. We hope that you like this place and decide to stay.

Here are some helpful tips for newcomers:


 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. This can be accomplished by typing three tildes after your comments. If you use four, you can add the date and time too. If you know HTML, you can customize your signature by clicking the "my preferences" link at the top of the page. Always sign your comments on talk pages. Never sign articles.
 * You may want to create a user page. You can use this page to tell other users about yourself, make a list of the articles you've contributed to, add links to websites you like, and for testing wiki markup. If you're not sure where to begin, try picking out some userboxes for yourself to get started. If you do not wish to have a user page, then please redirect it to your user talk page (here) rather than leaving it blank. This will save everybody an extra click ;-).
 * Check out the manual of style to see how wiki markup works. Don't worry, it's not that hard to learn!
 * Always remember to fill in the edit summary field when editing articles.
 * If you are not a native speaker of English, check out this page.
 * If you have a specific area of interest or expertise, consider joining a WikiProject about it.

Here are a few links that you might find helpful:


 * Be Bold in updating pages!
 * Use common sense when editing pages.
 * Check out The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Be cautious when inserting external links.
 * If the rules prevent you from improving Wikipedia, ignore them.

A complete list of all Wikipedia policies and guidelines can be found here.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or try browsing through the help pages or the tutorial.

Happy Editing - Mike | Talk 02:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Coquille River Light
Thanks for adding the final lighthouse article for Oregon! If you're interested in Oregon stuff be sure to check out WikiProject Oregon. Happy editing! Katr67 16:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Audiophile
Speaking as a long-time reader of (and occasional contributor to) audiophile magazines, I have seen large amounts of evidence that both of the assertions you just removed are in fact true. I've had trouble finding on-line references. I haven't been doing that much editing recently; perhaps you could point me at a page that provides guidance on acceptable standards for references. I wouldn't have much trouble providing issue/page numbers from audiophile magazines in support of the assertions (which aren't assertions of fact, just of what audiophiles believe). I'm wondering if that would be acceptable. Tim Bray 21:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Naturopathic Medicine
Please take the time to read the discussion page before making controversial edits. There is already a thread on the topic. As a fellow Portlander and supporter of all things sustainable and renewable, I am surprised you aren't supportive of this truly sustainable medicine... If you want to work together to make the article better, let me know. Also let me know if you want a tour of the campus and sit-in on some classes...

Mt. Jefferson pic
Hey, I was wondering from where the picture of Mt. Jefferson from the Cascade Range was taken. Looks like the north face of the mountain, Jefferson park area maybe. DumberDrummer (talk) 15:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Right you are! Here's the exact location. -- Headwes (talk) 01:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Asian fetish
"Prostitution in Thailand and Prostitution in the Philippines is largely supported by men with asian fetish. " I believe you are requesting citation for one of my updates to fix the many deletes that people, who have been banned and warned by administrators, who have been making many attempts to make asian "FETISH" into meaning only asian "PREFERENCE" despite the fact that the term itself does not even mean preference. Can you please clarify what part of the sentence are you requesting citation for? I am shocked that I need citation as I thought that the existence of sex tourism in asia that largely caters to western men was common knowledge. Are you asking for citation that these westerner have asian fetish? or the fact that westerners are supporting such an industry? For the later that would be an issue you probably want to take up on the referenced page, Prostitution in Thailand and Prostitution in the Philippines. I can copy the content from these reference page if you choose not to read them. for the former I have citation but felt that once again this was common knowledge but if you are challenging it then I will put it in. There are many many sources on the external and internal reference pages that talks about the sex tourism trade in the context of asian fetish. Tkguy (talk) 16:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Friendly 3RR Reminder from Luke
Watch the 3RR. There are plenty of users who disagree with Tkguy. No need to revert him yourself all the time. Cool Hand Luke 05:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I'm okay on that, but just barely. Thanks a bunch for the reminder. - Headwes (talk) 06:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Opinion wanted on ANI
I would value your contribution at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Cool Hand Luke 06:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Edit summary
Wait...didn't I provide an edit summary? If you are concerned about my reversion of the previous edit, please consider that it was the removal of the "criticism" section. The IP himself did not add an edit summary to explain the removal of controversial content. Since I use a bot, I can only view the sentences which involve the content that is removed or added. Furthermore, I am not familiar with the content of the article enough to consider the IP's edit as valid within a single glance.

I accept your edit, however, because you have explained why the content was removed. Sincerely,

La Pianista!  «talk»  21:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mt Jefferson Oregon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mt Jefferson Oregon.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 20:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

The Three Domain system
Let's talk about this some.. I've put some comments on the 3-domain system talk page. Please respond there, I suppose, so we can come to an agreement on the 3-domain system, and whether it should have a criticism section or not. In my opinion, if there is criticism of a theory, there should be a criticism section, right? There is criticism of this theory coming from at least one very well respected scientist. I think it is self-evident, actually, that there should be a criticism section, but I'm willing to work with you on the actual text of the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowdcc (talk • contribs) 02:43, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Charcolatesmall.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

 * Another one of your uploads, File:Coquille river lighthouse.jpg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 15:15, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
