Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Rbkhoury. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions.

Help Request
I have several questions regarding improvement of the article I created, Michael C. Hudson:

1. Although I have edited two other pages that mention him, Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and Middle East Studies Association by bracketing his name so that it becomes an internal wikilink to his page, his page is still being deemed an "orphan." What should I do?

2. I have created a picture with file name Michael C. Hudson but cannot figure out how to post it as a thumbnail.

3. Upon Google searching "Michael C. Hudson," the Wikipedia article is not appearing. What can be done about this?

4. Upon doing a search within Wikipedia for "Michael Hudson" without his middle initial, a disambiguation list appears. However, it does not include my entry. How can I make sure Michael C. Hudson appears an option when his name is searched without his middle initial?

Thank you for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbkhoury (talk • contribs) 16:28, 24 June 2013‎ (UTC)
 * Hi, my name is Signalizing, and I'd be more than happy to answer your questions! In order:

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me on my talk page, or seek additional help by using again. Again, welcome! Signalizing (talk) 17:14, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) The orphaned template isn't an automatic feature; an editor deliberately placed the template there, so that the article would receive some attention. As the page is now linked, and is no longer orphaned, I have removed the template from the page.
 * 2) In the edit screen on a page, there is an image icon you can use to format the thumbnail correctly. You can also read how to do it manually at this help page.
 * 3) As far as article placement goes for google searching, the key thing is patience and linking appropriate articles to yours, really.
 * 4) Disambiguation pages can also be edited to include your entry. I will add the article to the list.
 * In addition, I have moved the article to Michael Hudson (professor), to keep the naming conventions in line with our manual of style. The edits are still intact, but the name's changed. Signalizing (talk) 17:23, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User talk:Rbkhoury, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. ''In addition, I fixed the thumb nail in your article. You had forgotten to add .jpg to the end of the link. '' Signalizing (talk) 18:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

My apologies for not signing. Thank you so much for inserting the picture, and for the assistance generally! --Rbkhoury (talk) 18:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
