User talk:Mikeymichaels

Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, Mikeymichaels, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:

The five pillars of Wikipedia are the primary goals and most important rules that we follow.
"How to edit a page" is a general guide to the basics of editing existing articles and starting new ones.
These help pages are important if you'd like to learn more about specific processes.
The tutorial is a hands-on approach to learning all about editing.
Writing a great article is a noble accomplishment. An article you start might end up on the Main Page!
The Manual of style is an in-depth group of pages that will teach you how to make articles look their very best.

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing for tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing! --Merovingian 10:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:30_Shadow.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:30_Shadow.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 07:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Mikeymichaels! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 34 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
