Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello BowlerGuy426, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:

• First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
• Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
• Learn how Articles for deletion works.
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button.
• Provide an Edit summary.
• Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
• Create a User page.
• Be bold.
• Ignore all rules.
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}^TALK• ^EMAIL•18:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Pictures-25.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Pictures-25.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- tasc ^talk_deeds 06:59, 4 May 2006 (UTC) SCREW YOU BITCH!!!

Re:being john

It is true, the misspelling didn't redirect, because you blanked the page.

This is your last warning.
The next time you blank a page, as you did to Being John Malkovitch, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

i blanked it trying to get rid of it not to cause some vegetarian to get all fired up.

im not sure why someone would want to be redirected instead of learning how to spell a new word. and next time you threat someone make it a worth while threat not some power trip threat regarding a "free" online encyclopedia you _ _ _ _ _. _ _ '_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. wanna play hang man? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BowlerGuy426 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC).

I am sorry that I couldn't tell you were trying to help. My warning was stronger than necessary and for that I apologize. Someone would want to be redirected so they could find information on the subject they were looking for. Getting to a blank page does not provide them with information. Redirects exist at common misspellings so that people can more quickly get to the information they need. When they arrive at the page they are redirected to they will find the proper spelling. Alternatively, there may be multiple appropriate spellings or different names for the same thing. Redirects are our equivalent to a "See ..." in an index of a paper based encyclopedia. We generally prefer people to be redirected to the page they were trying to get to than to have to search for it based on a misspelling. Only administrators can delete a page. In the future, if you wish to have a page deleted you can refer to our deletion process for the route that is most applicable. Some deletions can be done almost immediately, others require a wait of a few days, and some require a week long discussion.

Your frequent incivility and personal attacks make it very hard for others to assume good faith on your part, which is part of the reason my warning was so strong. In your most recent spurt of vitriol you use "vegetarian" almost as a pejorative class designation then intimate name calling and threats, followed by an invitation to play your little game all wrapped up in execution verbiage which is rather fresh in the news of late and elicits strong feelings from many people. I realize that you may not have thought fully about the effect your words would have on those they were directed at, but this is part of being civil. Continued violations of our community policies of civility and absence of personal attacks will lead to your being blocked.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 18:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
