  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Hillary Rodham Clinton, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. OnoremDil 13:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:025aG(D).jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:025aG(D).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 18:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Clinton

You do not have to be a full-time anything to create content. You just need to provide verifiable material from a neutral point of view. Your unsourced opinions don't belong here. I won't dispute that perception is subjective. That's exactly the reason why we only want to include information from reliable sources. I had nothing to do with the picture from the "nummus" article. If you contact the deleting admin with valid license information, they'll likely restore it for you. --OnoremDil 13:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Welcome

Hello, Tonyodysseus, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. 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}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

I realize that you're not exactly new here, but a welcome template is the easiest way to provide a lot of good information to someone trying to pick up on some of the (far too many) ins and outs here. The help desk is another good page for asking general questions on how to use/edit articles. I don't know of any gatherings where you could meet and ask questions in real life, but it's not something I've ever looked into myself. --OnoremDil 13:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
