Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P

Hi there! Thanks for your message - I'm currently trying to get a picture that Chris daughter took to replace the one of him currently on his page. Difford.Chris_Sept2013.jpeg As I have been explaining - the picture currently on his wiki page is not a fair representation of him as a serious songwriter. He has been 21 years sober and this clearly depicts him under the influence. There are a few people who have been really helpful on my talk page - I'm just so lost on here - it confusing if you don't have a good grasp of programming - which evidently I don't. I've sent a permission to licence the pic I've uploaded to his daughter and hopefully that will suffice once she mails it through to Commons? - then I just want to ensure that someone uploads it in place of that one top right on Chris' actual page. If I can't figure out using that pic then I'll try to upload one that I've taken of him at home and upload that as well. I imagine you are very capable at all this. How does anyone learn all various symbols and what they mean?! Thanks for your offer of help. Best (Loulou660 (talk) 16:21, 20 September 2013 (UTC))

RE: U.K. Squeeze
Hello, the bot keeps changing the "U.K." in U.K. Squeeze to "UK" throughout the article. The spelling within the context of this album does in fact include periods, and should be kept that way in the article. Thanks! Mrmctorso 06:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, OK, sorry about that. I've added that to my exception list. Cheers, CmdrObot 21:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 17:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Squeeze annie get your gun cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Squeeze annie get your gun cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. D106 depot 10:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Squeeze annie get your gun live.jpg

Image copyright problem with Image:UK Squeeze album cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:UK Squeeze album cover.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Notability of Orchestra Luna
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Orchestra Luna, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Orchestra Luna seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Orchestra Luna, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hello Mrmctorso! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

File permission problem with File:Dan McNamara by Taylor Hooper.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dan McNamara by Taylor Hooper.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Draft:Phoebus the Knight gets more interesting
If you pop over to this Commons conversation you will see that the creating editor has a COI which is as a band member, thus they are engaged in UPE. I suppose either of us might have noticed it before, but the COI is well hidden in the text. I've been able to tag the article as UPE and warn the creating editor against it. They must make a declaration prior to continuing here. And the draft is actually a glorified advert.

Apologies if you are my grandmother and I am teaching to to suck eggs! Drafts are often the source of a hunt for UPE, and also (unrelated) a source for SPI. I often find that following all the threads in a draft, especially one with pictures, any pictures, leads me to interesting scenarios. It cuts down the quantity of my reviews, but it helps the overall quality of Wikipedia 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:48, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
