Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. 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! Fire Star 火星 05:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Seconded! Unlike Fire Star, I'm not part of the welcoming committee but I wanted to welcome you and thank you for your excellent contributions since becoming a member. I've just done some work on the format of your fine piece on Kennard Baker Bork and it includes some great research. I'm fairly new too, but wanted to share a few tips I've picked up in the last six months.
 * About links: for links within Wikipedia ("Wikilinks") there's no need to give the full address - just give the title surrounded by double square brackets. If there is a Wikipedia page it's normally best to link to this than an external site.
 * About references: these are best done with the "ref" and "references" tags, as I've done for Prof Bork. (Other methods can becoming confusing - see Alligator Effigy Mound (Licking County, Ohio) which now has two systems of footnotes!)
 * Categories: it helps others to give pages a category. For example, Prof Bork now falls within the category "living people".
 * Edits: to aid tracing the history of an article its a good idea to put a few words as an edit summary.
 * There's much more for me to learn (for example, images are a mystery to me!) and Fire Star's links are useful, but I hope this helps. One of the best ways to pick things up is to check the codes and tags of an existing article. All the best. Wavehunter 19:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:John Boggess.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:John Boggess.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  ttonyb (talk) 02:47, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
