ようこそ You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:Unfrared/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! -- Chzz  ►  04:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Getting started A tutorial • Our five pillars • Getting mentored How to: edit a page • upload and use images Frequently asked questions • Tips Where to ask questions or make comments Request administrator attention Policies and guidelines Neutral point of view • No original research Verifiability • Grade sources • Cite sources What Wikipedia is not • Biographies of living persons External links • Spam • Vandalism Deletion policy • Conflict of interest • Notability The community Signpost • IRC channels • Mailing lists • Best articles Build consensus • Resolve disputes Assume good faith • Civility • Etiquette No personal attacks • No legal threats Writing articles Be bold in editing • Develop an article The perfect article • Manual of style Pages needing attention • Peer review The missing manual

STS-135 patch

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have nominated the STS-135 patch for deletion. I nominated it for deletion because it has not been officially released by NASA. Also CollectSpace does not like other people using there stuff. You probably already know this as you more then likely received an email from him (have made the same mistake in the past). In the future, if you upload something like a patch or photo to a space article, make sure it comes directly from the NASA website. That way you and everyone else knows that it can be used. If you have any questions just post them here and i will respond when I get a chance. Once again welcome and hope to see you around!--NavyBlue84 15:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

• "I noticed that my upload of the STS-135 patch was removed from the article. Was it because of the file name, or I didn't have a source for the image? I'm not clear on the editor's note and the image being deleted. (How would I get or show permission; it's already from a United States Government agency. And my image has already been replaced by another with permission.) If there's permission, I rendered and cropped version the patch; if that's useful; for the article. I noticed all other mission patches went though the same process." Sent by email

• The original reason I tagged the patch for deletion was because of the source issue. CollectSpace does not like it when others use their images without permission. Since Florida Today has used it, I am assuming that some sort of permission has been given for it to be used. Usually NASA releases the patch officially, not long after its up on CollectSpace. While you are right its from a U.S. government agency, it has/had not been released officially by them. The work you did was great, it was all in the sourcing of the patch. I still have questions about the source of it and whether or not it can be used. But I am too busy in real life to try and deal with it. P.S. I would prefer to keep the conversation on here, I get enough email clogging my inbox.--NavyBlue84 00:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
