Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Gallery in the lede
Hello. Please stop arranging images for a while. I suggest you wait to see what others think. It is very unusual to be arranging images the way that you are doing. I, personally, don't really like it very much, and I suspect others may feel the same way. No offence intended. Maybe gather an opinion or two before changing too many articles. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:43, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In 17 Leporis, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Orion (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line 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) 10:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Cumulus cloud, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Red Rock Canyon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

No meteors in ISS video clip Aurora_Australis_2.ogv
Hello Originalwana. On 12 October 2011 you added a video clip (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Aurora_Australis_2.ogv) to the article Meteoroid, and claiming in the caption that: A few shooting stars can be seen in this video from the ISS. After some investigation of this claim, I am certain that what you are calling shooting stars are in fact the passage of other satellites. In addition, there are no such claims of meteor trails made on the original source page from where you appear to have obtained this clip. While it is unquestionably an excellent piece of video footage, I think that unless you are able to substantiate your claim that it contains any unambiguous meteor trails, the clip best be removed from the Meteoroid article. Cheers. Peter b (talk) 05:08, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response you left on my user talk page about this. Just a suggestion - you uploaded a great still photo which would be ideal in the lead section...

It would need a little cropping for best effect though. Cheers, Peter b (talk) 04:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Binary star revisions
I'm not too sure it's a great idea to collect separate images into a "multiple images" template. I used to do that myself, because it clearly makes things look a lot better on a computer monitor, but now I avoid it when I can. The reason is the very large fraction of Wikipedia users who access the site via their smart phones. Multiple images are harder for smart phone users to visualize properly. Test the site on your own phone. Thanks! Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Next-Generation Transit Survey


A tag has been placed on Next-Generation Transit Survey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ngtransits.org/. 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 as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

GPM pictures/vid
Greetings! I wanted to let you know I undid your revision to Global Precipitation Measurement- your edit certainly appeared to be in good faith, but adding a gallery caused all the images/graphics on the page to bunch up right under the table of contents...to be honest, the resulting page didn't look very good. It looks like you tried to add a graphic, and put them all in a gallery- IMHO, the text/graphic balance looks okay (not awesome, but okay) as is- does the new graphic substantially add to quality of the article?

I definitely appreciate your efforts to improve the article- Earth observation missions seem to get little love here on Wikipedia. There's probably ways to continue to improve the content and layout of this article- keep trying! Cheers! Skyraider1 (talk) 17:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Ways to improve Batagaika crater
Hi, I'm Jamesbushell.au. Originalwana, thanks for creating Batagaika crater!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Fascinating item. You could really make a good wiki article about this. Perhaps even one that could go onto the Do You Know box on the main page.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Jamesbushell.au (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Socotec
Hello Originalwana,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Socotec for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
