Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! Drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

If you need editing help, visit How does one edit a page. For format questions, visit our manual of style. You can use the Show preview button before you save, to make sure your edits do what you intended.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " " for your username and " ~ " for your username and a timestamp.

Some time when you're bored, you can read through our policies and guidelines. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.

If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. You can also drop me a question on my talk page.

Happy editing, Isomorphic 17:58, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Welcome, Peter! Don't feel you must only write about your studies, of course. Many of us write on all sorts of ideas here. For instance, there must be many people, places, and things associated with Norway you could contribute. Just a suggestion. And I'm glad we're getting more religion scholars (as you can see on my user page, I studied religious history also) -- we certainly have much ground to cover. If you need any help or a question answered, feel free to ask me (though Isomorphic, who welcomed you above, is of course an excellent person to talk to also). Happy editing!

Image copywrite
Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Oscarshall.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Edwinstearns 17:02, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi - I was translating the article to Norwegian and checked the picture, as far as I can see its taken from the webpages of the Monarchs. Are you absolutely sure that the picture can be used by Wikipedia? Have you been in contact with the Royal court regarding this? If not I suggest we remove the picture and add one that can be used under a free license. Ulflarsen 20:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Kronprinsen.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kronprinsen.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. - SCEhard T 03:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Pauwels
Hi! It's good to know that the article will continue to be worked on, information will be added, and all that. The translation's not done yet--it's taking a while because the format is mroe than a bit absurd. Most of his biography is showing up in the descriptions of his works, not to mention that absolutely every word he's ever written has been documented here! It's quite confusing, but it should be done soon.

I'd like to see whatever edits after the translation's complete--Pauwels seems intriguing, though that's hard to realize given the way the article is presented at the moment. French is really convoluted :D Tamarkot 19:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Page blanking
when you need to remove old stuff from your talk page you should create an archive instead of just deleting it - if you were in the process of doing this and my revert hit your page before you were done i'm sorry. If you didn't know about this or how to do it here is a reference How_to_archive_a_talk_page, have a nice day Lordkazan 16:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Saxaul tree.jpg
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Saxaul tree.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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 Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner. Thank you.

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Saxaul tree.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:800px-Saxaul tree.JPG. The copy called Image:800px-Saxaul tree.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 10:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
