Welcome edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:
- To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and the guide to creating your first article.
- Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
- Wikipedia is not an advertising service.
- For experiments, please use the sandbox.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gaffertape (talk) 23:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Your recent edits edit
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 04:33, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Category Deletion Discussion -- Italian Americans edit

File:Jodi Rell.jpg listed for deletion edit
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Jodi Rell.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Thanks edit
Why, that's nice of you. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Dave Barry's residence edit
I can find Web sites that give Dave Barry's residence as Miami (although that is by no means definitive, and none of them are particularly reliable in the Wikipedia sense), but I haven't found one yet that gives Coral Gables as his residence. Can you cite a reliable source that gives Coral Gables as his residence. Please remember that, per Wikipedia:Verifiability, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." -- Donald Albury 21:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Modern Whig Party Edit edit
While I agree with your edit, the edit comment you posted borders on incivility and goes against WP:AGF. Just try to keep it clean next time :) Cheers! Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 13:40, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Your edit of League of the South edit
You removed sourced material from the lead claiming it was unsourced, also saying in your edit summary 'no reason'. That the SPLC deems the League of the South a hate group is clearly sourced in the article. It is also discussed in the article. Because of that I've reverted your lead.

Admiral Norton edit
User:Admiral Norton has not edited in about 12 months; you would be better off posting a request for rollback on another admin's page or on Requests for permissions. —Soap— 09:32, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Simple enough logo edit
Technically, if a logo consists of simple geometry (as the logo for Pittsburgh Steelers does), it can be displayed on a user page, but proper acknowledgement is required. You did supply the proper acknowledgement, so it might be safe to revert the user page to before DASHBot removed the image. mechamind90 20:19, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Word choice edit
Please be careful how you word your edit summaries—accusing another editor of being an "egomaniac" is unnecessarily uncivil and hostile. Thank you. —Bill Price (nyb) 00:16, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
