Welcome

Thankyou for your contributions if you've been editing before you got this message. If you haven't, don't worry: there are numerous ways you can contribute to Wikipedia if you're not sure where to start yet. Either way, we hope you'll like the place and decide to stay. We all remember what it's like to be new, so don't let others scare you off.

Useful links

Here's some useful links that will help you get started.

•   Wikipedia:How to edit a page - it's a lot easier than you might think.

•   Tutorial - a collection of pages explaining the most important things for contributing to Wikipedia.

•   Sandbox - the best place for trying things out. If previous edits you made to articles have been reverted because they were experimental or unconstructive, this is the place to make test edits.

•   Wikipedia:Where to ask a question - Wikipedia has numerous places for you to put your questions and comments forward.

Contributing

With these references at hand, we hope you find it easier to contribute to Wikipedia. Here's a brief synopsis of some ways you can:

• We obviously wouldn't have an encyclopedia without articles. This page shows how you can help them grow.

• Removing vandalism and keeping the integrity of articles intact is a great way of contributing. More information on how to do so can be found here.

• Fixing typos, correcting poor grammar and repairing broken links are just some examples of useful, behind the scenes contributions. Even just making things look nice makes using Wikipedia more pleasant for everybody.

• If you like working with images, you might be interested in the Graphic Lab. Similarly, this page shows you how to work with images in Wikipedia articles.

• This page lists the many types of tasks you can do to maintain Wikipedia.

• There are numerous WikiProjects that aim to provide coordination and collaboration on particular subjects. From this list, you can join a project and contribute within an area that interests you.

Of course, there are many ways of contributing, but I hope that this message is helpful to you, and that you'll enjoy editing Wikipedia and continue to do so.

AfD nomination of Everything You Do

I have nominated Everything You Do, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Everything You Do. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Image:Everything You Do.ogg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Everything You Do.ogg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

• I withdrew the deletion discussion for "Everything You Do" because someone else pointed out that it had charted in the US, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt since it's a stub right now. As for the audio sample, it's my understanding that sound samples in song articles aren't allowed unless the article explicitly discusses the song's musical content (for instance, a sample is justified in All Summer Long (Kid Rock song) since the article discusses both the lyrical content and the multiple samples used within the song).

• I wasn't trying to bully you. Please read WP:MUSIC which outlines the notability guidelines for musical articles (down near the bottom it says songs should generally be chart singles to be notable). Since I could find nothing that verified its chart position in Norway, I figured it could've been made up, as even Norwegian chart positions shouldn't be that hard to find. Furthermore, it was pointed out by another user, so I just took his word for it before realizing I'd made a mistake. As for those two Linkin Park samples, they are both legit as both songs' articles discuss the content of the song (even if those particular sections are full of original research).

• It's cool. You seem to be fairly new here still, and I can understand your defense of anything you've written. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 20:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:IfYoureNotTheOneUSCDSingle.png

Thanks for uploading File:IfYoureNotTheOneUSCDSingle.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 Done Sorry, the tag's missing for no reason. Oh wait, you're a bot, who am I kidding huhu. Kotakkasut (talk) 03:44, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
