User talk:Shawn2082

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello,, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Notability guidelines for people
 * Tips for settling disputes

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions on talk pages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel 12:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Revert, don't blank
Hi. When you see an article consisting of junk, like you did at Lesser Brown Blowfly, don't blank it-- the article probably has just been vandalized (as this one was just before you editied it). You can revert to the last good version from the article history; see Help:Reverting for details. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 16:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Robertduncanmcneill.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Robertduncanmcneill.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 13:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
