Uploading images
Did you find out how to upload images? There are resources in Wikipedia about how to put images in articles. Uploading is done by going to Wikimedia Commons, click "upload file" on the left side, and following instructions. These screens can be somewhat tricky, but I've found that if you say you took the picture yourself, and that it's available as "public domain" (anybody can copy) and label the picture with something straightforward such as "Picture_Of_Leaves_In_Autumn" if your picture is of autumn leaves, then it usually passes muster with the Wikimedia copyright patrol. Remember the filename. Then, in Wikipedia, use a format like this inside the article for a picture (click on "edit this page" so you can see the text immediately below):



If you change the word "right" to "left" the picture shifts to the left, obviously.

Good luck!--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:40, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

How to inline reference
This is one of the trickier things in Wikipedia but it's easy if you use a shell like the following (click on "edit this page" to see the actual reference shell:

If you have a text processor, cut and paste this shell into an all-purpose reference file. You know how to cut and paste, right? (Mark text, CTRL-C, point cursor, CTRL-V to paste.) Then, find a reference on the web that relates to a point you're making. And put the reference immediately after. Here's one filled in like this:

First point.

The publisher should be within the italic marks so it's italicized. Cut and paste the url, title, quote (optional but helpful), date. My identifying system is my initials tws with 27 nov = date and 37 a serial counter. Try to avoid slashes (/) in the date; the ideal date format is 2007-04-01 or yyyy-mm-dd. If you want to re-use the reference (same reference, but elsewhere in the article), the identifying tag comes in handy. Here's how:

Second point but using same reference.

Notice the backslash "/" character after the tag. What's cool is the references automatically appear with numbers, and are easily checkable. I've found that references are like tent pegs which keep new information anchored; other editors are less likely to remove referenced facts.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. 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. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. --SineBot (talk) 22:15, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion
If you write something on your user page (not this user talk page), the page will be created, and your listings on the histories of articles won't show up with your username being red on article histories. That way, other editors will know you're not a newbie and will give your comments and changes more credence. There's a lot more leeway on what we can put on our user pages, although we still are obliged to follow Wikipedia's guidelines. Also, wondering what "Inluminetuovidebimuslumen" means; is this Latin?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool about the Latin words for your username. Good luck with your education. State schools are a great place to start since they're an excellent value for the dollar. I'm a handyman but my work is slow, so I volunteer on Wikipedia (my hobby) partly as a way to educate myself about new people and things I don't know, so in the process of researching and writing, I learn new stuff, but I'm really mostly a nooB on Wikipedia and learning stuff myself; like, I didn't know much about wikilinks until a few months ago, so that you knew about this to begin with is a great start for you. I also love "Teaching Company" audio CDs from my local library; they're the BEST college lecturers on numerous subjects, and by listening in my car or at home, I get the big picture. They're free, with no tests or papers; if I fall asleep during the lecture, I can rewind.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Cool user name
Hi. I came across your user name and I wanted to tell you I think it's cool. Are you a student at Columbia University (which uses it as its motto), or are you just quoting ? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I got this account while I was at a summer camp at Columbia University. I wanted a latin phrase to be my username and that was the first one that came to mind. But I guess you could call me a prospective student.

Looks good so far! As for the infobox, I think you've hit the limit on how many offices you can list with that template. Check out the template documentation, but it looks to me like 9 is the most terms/offices you can list using that single template. You may have more luck with adding a separate infobox for all of his US House of Representative terms, or maybe put all of his state offices in one box, and all his federal offices in another. If you just don't fill out any of the biographical information in the second box, it should just look like a continuation of the first. Give it a shot, let me know if you need further help, and good luck! --SquidSK (1MC•log) 01:10, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I have replaced the lead image. What do you think? Connormah (talk) 00:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I did kind of like the first one because it seemed like the quality of the image was a little better, and it produced a better cosmetic effect. But I read your comment on the talk page about when it was taken, and in light of those facts, it might well be a better image because the time it was taken was more suitable. Plus, it's a better shot of his face. I have to say, I'm undecided. If this is what you think is best, then let's go with this. Maybe we can use the unused image down in the body of the text. It's definitely better than the old one. In.Lumine.Tuo.Videbimus.Lumen 02:36, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's good for a infobox, it shows his image pretty clearly. As for the vandalism, I've got the article protected for one month. Connormah (talk) 04:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I put the speedy tag back on. Please leave it alone - as it is a hoax, we want to remove it. =) -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 00:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

...OK, now I'm confused. I saw you strike one in the history, and you put the notice on the user page for the creator. What happened? =O.o= -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 00:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Responded on your page, but yeah, I'm also confused. Just tagged it for deletion and posted a notice - I didn't contest the deletion. We definitely want to remove this. In.Lumine.Tuo.Videbimus.Lumen 00:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Eh, easy mistake to make. Fugeddabadit. =)  It appears to be gone anyway. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 00:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject United States Government
Greetings. I noticed that you are one of the members of WikiProject United States Government that are still active so I wanted to ask you a question. It appears that this project is mostly inactive aside from what the members might be doing independently. I was considering suggesting that this project be pulled in under WikiProject United States and wanted to solicit comments from some of this projects members before doing so. As with Washington DC and the others the project would for the most part maintain its own independence but I believe this would benefit both projects. What do you think about this? --Kumioko (talk) 00:04, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments in the edit history
When you make edits like this one please add a comment to the history eg "removed comma" so that someone else knows what to look for, because spotting a small change like the removal of a comma is difficult without some hint in the edit history. -- PBS (talk) 02:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
