User talk:Mikemurphy
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Mikemurphy! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic Acid (talk) 15:46, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Mike,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:John Edwards Pittsburgh 2007.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on January 3, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-01-03. howcheng {chat} 00:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, as it turns out since the Iowa caucuses are on the 4th, this was not such a good time to do it (didn't want to give any unfair exposure to any candidate) so we are going to postpone this until after a candidate has clinched the Democratic nomination. howcheng {chat} 18:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Now that he's dropped out, the picture is scheduled for February 8. Regards, howcheng {chat} 06:28, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Photo usage
[edit]Hi, I've been working on a small game built around animal quizzes and I wanted to let you know I've used one of your pictures.
I found your picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Procambarus_clarkii.jpg
And I attributed the picture like this: Mike Murphy and also added a link to the license: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:public_domain
I hope you're happy with it, please let me know if this is not the case. You can find the game here: http://apps.facebook.com/animalalbum Or through here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AnimalAlbum/156339584490672
