I was not able to link to the websites you referenced. I have revised my questions below. I hope this makes more sense.

1. I loaded two images in the 'upload file'. I didn't not mark the copyright information and need to go back to the image to add this information. How do I do this?
 * You need to click on "edit" on the Licensing section. If there is no Licensing section, you'll need to create one.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  15:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

2. I am trying to add an article on Pennsylvania Heritage Program. The text is from the director of the program and is similiar to the Pennsylvania Heritage Program website. When I tried to add it, it was deleted because of copyright issues. Since the director of the program approved the language on the website and article, is there a way to add this article and not have it marked for deletion?
 * If you create an article on Wikipedia, it must be cited by a third-party source. What you're saying in creating an article based on pure first-person interview violates Wikipedia:No Original Research.  All articles are patrolled and evaluated upon submission and if it violates our policies as stated in WP:CSD or WP:AFD, the article may be deleted.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  15:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

3. I added some external links to my article. For the external web links, a little box with an arrow shows at the end of the weblink on the article. For some of my external links, this box/arrow doesn't show on the article. The link works, but without the arrow/box, there is extra spacing. Is there a reason for this?
 * Link me to that article. I have no idea what you're talking about until I take a look at the source code.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  15:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

4. Will articles added on Wikipedia show up on a google search and if so, when does that usually happen?
 * That depends on Google.  - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  15:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

What does redlinked mean? Do I have to use this user id (statedcnr2) to create a new article? Also, when I created an article before, I saved it on my user page and then moved it and retitled it. I think that's how I got into this fix in the first place. Is there a different way to create an article to get it on the main page?

 * Red linked means the page doesn't exist or it's been deleted (see WP:RED). If you want to create a new page, see this. Also, new talk page posts go to the bottom.  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 13:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I wrote a wikipedia article (Office of Conservation Science) on my user page which is statedcnr and moved it to the main Wikipedia page. However, it is still on my user page and I think I actually renamed my user page the title of the article. Is there a way to remove it without removing the article from Wikipedia? There are two more articles that I need to write. I opened this account (statedcnr2) because I wasn't able to post a question on my original page.

 * Your user page is red linked now so I think it'ss been fixed. Also, if you need help creating an article, ask me. We really need an easier method of making articles. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I have a couple of questions. I did look through the wikipedia guide but I am stuck on a few things for the article I did on Office of Conservation Science:

It shows two of the images I uploaded I did not tag correctly. The second image is the department's logo and I want to mark it as such, but I can't seem to get back in to re-edit the logo update. Is there a way to do that? Also, the first logo is of a flower that we got from the web. Can that be coded so it is not removed or do I have to take that off:

Also, for some external links I added, the little arrow doesn't show so there looks like there is an extra space between words. If you look at the first sentence of the article it shows an extra space between DCNR and decisions. It looks like this happened for any URL that appears at the end of the text box. I don't see any extra spaces so I can't correct it. Any ideas of how to fix that.

I did try to add another article just on the Pennsylvania Heritage Program under my other id (statedcnr2 which I had to set up since I save this article on my user page) but it got deleted because of copyright issues. I followed what they said about justifying why this wasn't a copyright issue but it looks like the page was deleted. I work for the Directors for the Heritage and Wild Resource Program so there is no copyright issue-they have approved the text for these articles. Is there a way I can re-add these articles?

I read that after entering an article it would eventually show up in a google search. Do you know how long this would take? Statedcnr2 (talk) 19:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Help me tags
I'm not sure what you actually need help with, can you point it out for me?-- Kero tan -Have a nice day :) 22:13, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Statedcnr2, please ask specific questions for the tags.  Your paragraphs above are vague and apparently I'm not the only person who feels that way.  I'm going to remove the  tag, but when you have reformulated and listed specific questions to ask, please feel free to add the helpme tag back on.  If you require a chat-setting to learn the ropes, there are Wikipedia administrators as well as very established editors on IRC, you may find them on, , and .  I hope this helps.  Have a great day!   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  13:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
