Welcome edit

Hello. You have certainly been busy. I'm going to guess this is a new account for an experienced user. But just in case you really are new to Wikipedia, below is my welcome message to you.

Hello, Bellyjellybigboy! Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you find Wikipedia as helpful and enjoyable as I do.
  • If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, or type {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
  • If you want to play around and experiment to see how everything works, please use the Sandbox.
  • Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
  • Finally, when you edit any page, always fill in the edit summary field.

If you're already loving Wikipedia and plan to stick around and help, you might consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor. Just paste {{Adoptme}} into your userpage and you will gladly be adopted!

Below are some recommended guidelines to help you get started. There are a lot of links; read what you want now and save the rest for later. Happy Editing!

License tagging for Image:Candlebox 3.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Candlebox 3.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:

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. 04:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Candlebox.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Candlebox.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Gruntruck.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Gruntruck.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. Sherool (talk) 19:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
