Welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth!

You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics. You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, if you made any edits before getting an account, you may wish to assign those to your username.

By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This automatically adds your name and the time after your comments.

Hope to see you around the Wiki! And if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me on my talk page! - Elf

And about those uploaded photos

edit

Thanks for the photo contributions. Wikipedia needs to know whether uploaded images are free for distribution, because all the text is and it's really confusing if some of the images aren't free use as well. I'm going to add the notation {{unverified}} to each of your photos until you've identified at least the source (where they came from or who the photgrapher is, etc.) and under what license they're released--e.g., {{GFDL}} (which is the license under which all Wikipedia is distributed) or {{PD}} (for Public Domain); otherwise, we can't use them on WP. If you have any questions, just ask on my talk page. Elf | Talk 22:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Image source/licensing for Image:Brian Burke and Jennifer Mather.jpg

edit
The image you uploaded, Image:Brian Burke and Jennifer Mather.jpg, has no source information. 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, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Unless the copyright status is provided, the image will be marked for deletion on 24 October 2005.
