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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and beingWERQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes ( Redwolf24 03:04, 11 July 2005 (UTC) ) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes ( Redwolf24 ) 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

EcoDuro
I mentioned to Essjay that the VfD was out of date and it was closed. EcoDuro is safe. Redwolf24 22:51, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

US Wikipedia Conference / Chapter
Anyone interested in pulling together a US WikiPedia conference, I would be interested in helping to pull it together in Ann Arbor, MI. There is considerable resource here and if there is interest, I will reach out to the University of Michigan or Internet II for a place to meet. It is very easy for people around the US to get here, because Detroit Metro is one of the larger US airports and only 25 minutes away (between Ann Arbor and Detroit). Also, there are many interesting speakers we could draw from the community (Proquest, Borders, University of Michigan, Internet II, etc). --Ronreed 23:55, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

US Chapter
Hi Ron. Thanks for the congratulations. We don't currently have any options for membership. The idea was raised about a year ago, but there was never anyone with enough interest to get it going, so I've suggested it be removed from the bylaws. Currently, donations are just via the Fundraising page, not through any form of "joining" the Foundation. If you would like to get involved in the fundraising efforts, please see grants and fundraising ideas.

There has been some discussion at United States Wikimedia Chapter and on the Wikimedia US mailing list already, so it may be best to get involved there, and also on the U.S. notice board. I've not heard of Proquest. How do you think they could contribute?

Ann Arbor, Michigan - Interested in helping?
I am in the process of expanding and cleaning up this article in hopes of one day getting it featured. Seeing that you are in the Ann Arbor area, I was wondering if you are interested in helping? The article is currently in peer review, one of the last steps before featured article candidacy. Pentawing 01:49, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information. Could you give me the exact issue (date, volume) and/or URL of the Crain Detroit information? I am doing this since I want to cite anything that I add. As for the economy information, it is a lot, which might require a sub-article. Also, I noted on the article's talk page that the article could have too much mention of UM (though the University does influence the city a lot). Hence, I am trying to keep the amount of new information concerning UM at a minimum from here on out (lest the article becomes another University of Michigan article :-)). Let me know what you think. Pentawing 18:15, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, I closed the peer review and placed the article for Featured Article Candidacy. Pentawing 23:16, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ecoduro pic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ecoduro pic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 08:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bill huizenga, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.huizengaforcongress.com/bio.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Bill Huizenga
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Bill Huizenga, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.huizengaforcongress.com/bio.html, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Bill Huizenga and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Bill Huizenga with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Bill Huizenga.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Bill Huizenga saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! – Toon (talk)  21:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello there; if you have sent the requisite email to the above address, then it shouldn't be too long until it is processed by a volunteer and the template currently on the page is removed. Until then, however, it'll have to stay as it is. The article will probably not be deleted before the OTRS ticket arrives, but even if it is, the page can be easily restored by the admin who gets the email. In the mean time, you should give our conflict of interest guidelines a read. Best wishes, – Toon (talk)  11:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I must stress that if the email is not sent, the article will be deleted soon. Unfortunately a note from an IP address doesn't let us verify the identity of the person promising the permission. Best wishes, – Toon (talk)  14:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
