Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, CR85747!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Five pillars
- Wikipedia:Policy trifecta
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and have fun!

Mound and "Jonesy" Jones
You wrote that: "Mound is the birthplace of fictional characters S. "Jonesy" Jones..." on the Mound, Minnesota page. I Googled some, and can't confirm that. Do you have a link or something showing that his character is from Mound? Thank you. Nanabozho 23:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Green Party of New York
Your edits on April 29th to the Green Party of New York article have been reverted, due your additional information being incorrect.
"The all-woman and all-black ticket, which gained ballot status for the party
A party in New York can only gain ballot access through a vote test in Gubernatorial elections. The threshold for automatic ballot access is 50,000 votes for Governor (only) so in a non-gubernatorial election year a party can not earn ballot access. In 2008 the state party gained access for all its candidates by petitioning for full party ballot access. The completion of full party petition allowed the greens the potential to field a full ticket (all races top to bottom). So the presidential and VP candidates gaining ballot access is impossible. Also many of the candidates fielded were not black including the parties Vice Presidential candidate Rosa Clemente who is Hispanic (others were Caucasian or Asian). The presidential ticket was an all women of color affair, but the whole ticket was not all black or of color. Please be more careful with your wording simple changes of words can completely change meanings. Highground79 (talk) 03:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Diesel Sweeties
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Diesel Sweeties. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diesel Sweeties. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Calmer Waters 08:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Your change to WCCB
Hi. Other than Charlotte and Green Bay, what's the third Fox affiliate in an NFC market which is not owned by the network? Thanks. JTRH (talk) 13:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Well there's KTVU Oakland/San Francisco, and WVUE New Orleans. So that's four. So I was wrong originally. If you add WITI Milwaukee as the other Packers flagship, that makes five, although I'm not sure whether or not that should be in the article. CR85747 (talk) 21:47, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:985foxLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:985foxLogo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:08, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 6
Hi. When you recently edited WWL (AM), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sunday Night Football (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free media (File:KCDAlogo225x57.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:KCDAlogo225x57.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm RJFF. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Basque Nationalist Party without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! --RJFF (talk) 08:17, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
