Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Grow Up America
Hi, just want to tell you that I didn't mean it in any personal sense -- you are quite welcome to Wikipedia, and to post and edit pages - we need many, and many more :) At first, I posted the vfd because it really did look like the author himself trying to promote his book. I tried checking your user to see if you had many edits already, or were newly registered for this purpose, but since you didn't have a userpage, I couldn't do that.

I still don't really feel that this book is important enough to warrant inclusion, but I am less sure now than I was at the outset. We will see what other comments arrive at the deletion discussion page. In the meantime, please don't let this discourage you from contributing other articles.

Using copyrighted material by permission is certainly acceptable, tho' not ideal, as it might not be able to be included in future uses of Wikipedia content (Pushing to 1.0)--paraphrasing is best. That said, if material is used by permission, the standard way of dealing with it is to document the permission on the article's Talk page, similar with what I did with the image used on Malleefowl, at Image:PerthZooMalleefowl.jpg (for images, the permission notes go on the image description page, instead of the Talk page). You can also look at Fort Charlotte/Talk:Fort Charlotte to see an example of permission for an article. Niteowlneils 20:19, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Effective-therapy.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Effective-therapy.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Michael j hurd.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Michael j hurd.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
