Welcome, MarcBgd!


Welcome to Wikipedia, MarcBgd! I'm Ozzie10aaaa, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia!

Copyright
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Ingrid Detter de Frankopan article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Yamla (talk) 19:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This also applies to Lady Nicholas Windsor. Please do not edit further until you have resolved all WP:COPYRIGHT/WP:FAIRUSE concerns with your edits so far. --Yamla (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the message,
 * I now understand the point. I have read the guidelines...I will try to improve my edits in the future...that is of course if I am allowed to do so, as I have been blocked for a period of indefinite. I would kindly ask to reconsider your decision after some time, as I am very happy about contributing here and have put great amount of effort and time to it.
 * Thank you in advance! MarcBgd (talk) 22:41, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
