Regarding copyright issues, take a look at Copyright. And hopefully this 'Welcome' will answer some of your other questions. Shearonink (talk) 21:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Questions
I have a couple questions. Can someone please answer some or all of them, without just following some script like that "Welcome and introduction" guy below? Thanks in advance.

- Can I get notified when a page changes?

- If someone ruins a page, can I somehow change it back? Or is that someone else's job?

- Below this editing block, it says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted". How do I make sure I do not violate someone's copyright?

- What's the use of my user page? Am I supposed to put something on it, or can I just leave it empty? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laricaney (talk • contribs)


 * You can be notified of changes to a page if you add that page to your watchlist. If someone vandalises a page, please undo their edits, yes. Avoiding violating copyrights is fairly simple: don't copy anything into wikipedia unless you're absolutely sure it's not copyrighted (it should explicitly state that it is public domain or uses a license compatible with wikipedia). You can leave your userpage empty if you wish; it's mainly there for your own use and to let other editors know a little about your editing habits and whatnot if you choose to do so.

 * By the way, please remember to sign your comments by adding four tildes ( ~ ) to the end of your messages on talk pages. Messages on talk pages should go to the bottom of the page. (Never mind, I thought you had posted this after the welcome above).  Giftiger Wunsch   [TALK]  21:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. It raises some more questions, but I think I can figure it out myself.
