Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Read the Policies and guidelines.
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 11:04, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Title of Devil Dogs article
This article used to be called "Devil dogs" with a lowercase d, which is no good. You changed it to "The Devil Dogs," which is better. But it would be best if the aritcle were simply called "Devil Dogs" with a capital D. Since, in its current incarnation, the article provides information about the snack product AND the band, "Devil Dogs" would more sensibly apply to both.

I also don't like how when you changed the name of the article (or redirected, or whatever it is you did), you can no longer see the edit history for the article, which might be interesting to some people.

Sorry, I know I'm splitting hairs.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 06:45, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Because of your interest in similar musicians, I wanted to direct you to the Ryan Avery article and the corresponding [|AfD]. Thanks! PT ( s-s-s-s ) 20:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.


 * "St. Louie Louie" does not pass Notability (web). It is a new forum with 13 members.  Currently the site has no pertinent information about St. Louis.  It appears to be a cheap clone of the existing forum link.   Wikipedia is not a soapbox to promote your new personal site.  Wikipedia is not a link farm.  Please do not re-add the link.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising agency. Gamer83 19:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Whoa a little intense response on my talk page! I'm sorry I'm making Wikipedia "Annoying as hell to use" for you.  I am just enforcing the rules.  I think it's great that you started your own forum, but Wikipedia is not a vessel for you to use to advertise/promote your new forum. The other forum link is only allowed to remain because it is the current dominant forum for St. Louis. Evidence was shown that various city officials post there, and it is widely known and the best source of information on St. Louis.  Wikipedia is a source for information, not advertisements/self-promotion.  It is against Wikipedia policy to post any external links to sites you are affiliated with, check the links I posted for confirmation of that rule if you wish. I apologize if you feel my enforcement of the rules has upset you. Gamer83 06:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey man, thanks for posting on my talk page. Yeah, Gamer83 is a Wiktator.  I agree that people like him make Wikipedia a painful place to edit.  Apparantly my site having 200+ articles about St. Louis and over 900 unique hits in just over 2 weeks doesn't make it notable...so I duno what will in his eyes.  Anyways, lets work together to promote our sites.  What do you have in mind?  I'd actually looked at the Low Life guide a few times before, you should contribute that info to WikiLou, if it's still kicking around and you have time.  I've been planning on making quarter sheet fliers to hand out at events around St. Louis.  Maybe we can team up on that?  WikiLou on one said, St. Louie Louie on the other?  Lemme know.  You can also e-mail me at Mijunkin(at)gmail.com.  --Mijunkin 20:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Video blog article
Hi Kopper,

I'm looking to get the video blog article expanded and I noticed you've contributed to the article in the past. It would be great if you could check it out again. It could use some help. Thanks! Pdelongchamp 22:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

garage punk
Firstly, may I suggest that you look at WP:CIVIL? Personal insult does not help your argument. The reason for the deletion of this article does not depend on my supposed musical ignorance, nor on my personal opinion. It is based on the wikipedia policy in WP:MUSIC. If you feel that this is an incorrect judgement you are welcome to make your point on WP:DRV.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 19:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. DreamGuy (talk) 21:20, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Corkball.png
Thanks for uploading File:Corkball.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Even if you cannot make it, please drop your name at Meetup/St. Louis in the regrets section or watchlist that page to be informed about future meetups in St. Louis.

May 2012
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kopper. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kopper~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello
Hi, this is Garagepunk66. While looking at the edit history, I noticed that you were one of the earliest editors to work on the Garage rock article, and, when viewing your user page, just now, I noticed that you also run the Garage Punk Hideout website. I love reading Garage Punk Hideout regularly (and religiously). It is a great place to get information and read discussions. I should probably get in on some of those threads--if I weren't so busy doing this Wiki stuff. But, over the last year, I've been working on trying to expand the garage rock article, and you'll notice that it has grown a lot. Check it out--I think you'll really love reading it!

Disambiguation link notification for May 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Scouting in Missouri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Route 66. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:39, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Page history merge
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Baden-Powell Service Association (United States) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Outdoor Service Guides. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. --evrik (talk) 15:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
