Welcome!

Hi, Bdempster, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello there Bdempster, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Feel free to post questions on my talk page - I'm happy to help you with anything you need. If you need help (which I can’t answer), put {{helpme}} on your talk page. It is also a good idea to explain what your problem on Wikipedia is, it helps you and your helper!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If another Wikipedian criticizes what you have done check what Wikipedia is not to avoid this happening again/ever. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using four tildes (~). If your keyboard doesn't have tildes (or for whatever reason) you can also click the button on the bar above the editing section.

Tip of the day...

Displaying tips on your user page

If you would like to display the Wikipedia tip of the day on your User page, here is how:

Edit your User page and insert one or more of the following bolded strings (including the four curly braces), preview your edit, and when it looks right, save it.

To see a visual display of the below templates check out the Tip of the Day Display template gallery.

• {{totd}} – the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational light bulb. Border color can be custom modified.
• {{totd b}} – a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
• {{totd3}} – a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
• {{totd-random}} – this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on. If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
• {{totd-tomorrow}} – this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips are up-to-date and corrected before they go live.
• {{tip of the day}} – the borderless version, with light bulb.
• {{tip of the day with h3 heading}} – the tip in heading/paragraph format (No light bulb).
• {{totd2}} – the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No light bulb).
• {{totd CP}} – like the help page version, but with a box and light bulb. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
• {{totd-static}} –  like the totd version but the date is static. You have to manually change the date. Good for testing purposes.

To have the current day's tip and tomorrow's tip show up at the bottom of your talk page, below the last message, paste this code anywhere on your talk page (preferably at the top):

<ref>{{totd}}</br>{{right|{{today cell}}{{spaces|5}}}}{{totd-tomorrow}}</ref>

License tagging for Image:JuniorHonda Driver.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JuniorHonda Driver.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:08, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:BrownSnake2 BrandonDempster.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:BrownSnake2 BrandonDempster.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 16:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata.
