Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, TJ123465789! Thank you for your contributions. I am Demiurge1000 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Your userpage

Hi TJ, just to let you know I've made two small changes to remove information from your user page, and an administrator has hidden the deleted information. It's a good idea to avoid putting too much detailed information about yourself on Wikipedia (or any other internet site, despite what Facebook encourages). There's some more advice about this at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors - please take a moment to have a quick read through this when you have time. Thanks! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

As an update, I've cleared out the history of your user page. If you have any questions, please do ask!

Thanks

Thanks, Demiurge1000. You're right, maybe an exact date for Wikipedia isn't such a good idea. --TJ123465789 (talk) 4:48 PM, June 11, 2011 (UTC/GMT - 5)

Great! Thanks for understanding. Usually I get gratuitously insulted for suggestions like that :-) But it's important. One other thing to maybe avoid mentioning is the school name. There are good reasons for this, unfortunately. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

User page

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. ΔT _{^{The only constant}} 02:20, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey TJ! That seems to be a robot that just told you that, but please take it seriously, because you can be blocked if you keep using non-free images on your userpage. There's a complicated difference here between images that Wikipedia is allowed to use on actual articles (like, for example, the Michael Jackson article), and images that are totally free and we are allowed to use anywhere we like, including your user page. Please be careful with this - I am sure there are some Michael Jackson images that are totally free enough that you can use them on your userpage.

Sorry to be a meanie, but I don't want you to get blocked. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

The short version: If a file contains information about copyrights or non-free usage, like this one, then it cannot be used on userspace. If it is public domain, like this one, then you can use it however you want. For this one, you can use it however you want only if it meets the license the author used. And remember, if the file page doesn't say anything, assume it's copyrighted. You're safer that way. --The Σ ^talk_contribs 05:51, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
