Hello, Mattwyattart, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Orphaned non-free image File:Rochester MFA official logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rochester MFA official logo.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Don't get discouraged; take a look at edits just made

Hi, Mattwyattart; Came over to you RochesterMFA article from the copyeditor's page. Seems like the page could use some improvement, particularly in getting it to encyclopedic style, and adding references, graphics, etc. Don't get too upset at the notices and implied threats (these are boilerplate, not directed at you). Wikipedia has certain guidelines, and they take a little getting used to. I don't know anything about the RMFA, but presume you do, and would be willing to help for a while getting the Article off the ground. The article is unlikely to be a controversial one, so you will probably have a certain amount of leeway in improving it. If you have things you want to add to an Article, or want to discuss, all Articles have a Talk page; that is what it is for. Good luck. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 13:38, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
