Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Please also not that it is against United States copyright law to take a copyrighted image, make changes to it, and call it your own - such as you did with the Ole Miss football jersey. As a result, I have tagged your copyright violation images for deletion where you uploaded them over on Wikimedia Commons.

Additionally, do not remove content from articles such as you did at Ole Miss Rebels football where you removed the whole section on Confederate symbols. We do not "censor" or "whitewash" articles on Wikipedia. We present facts, not try and hide them or present a one-sided view of any subject.

Also, any content you add to any article needs to be sourced using a verifiable and reliable third-party source. Please refer to WP:SOURCE, WP:VERIFY and WP:CITE. Thanks. - ALLST✰R ▼ echo wuz here  ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ 04:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
