User talk:Stan Flouride

Congratulations on your first edit! While we appreciate your efforts with the article Indian Breadroot, please try and adhere to some general guidelines:

1. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. While Wikipedia is not really like a paper-and-ink encyclopedia, it is still a public information source and articles need to be written for a general audience.

2. Everything not easily verified on Wikipedia should have a named source, whether it is a book, magazine, Web site, or whatever, so we can check the veracity of our articles. Ideally, sources should be formally cited, adhering to standard bibliographic notation.

3. Articles should be written using Wiki markup and using the guidelines in the Manual of Style. Wiki markup is not like a formal programming language and is rather simple- use double brackets to indicate a link, two or three equals signs to create a new heading, two apostrophes to show italics, an asterisk for bullets, and three apostrophes to show bold text.

4. Articles on the English Wikipedia need to be entirely in English, not slang, l33t, or IM-speak. If you speak a foreign language natively, you can contribute to that Wikipedia (over one hundred and counting). Translation is also available.

5. Unless they're famous, don't write articles on you, your house, your relatives, your friends, or your neighbor's cousin's friend's dog (that actually happened once).

6. In general, try and read Wikipedia frequently. Wikipedia is an excellent, very extensive information source, and the more familiar you are with Wikipedia, the easier editing will be.

7. Wikipedia must maintain a neutral point of view NPOV. Please don't try and advocate a position or convince people of something. This goes double for spam and corporate advertisements.

Again, thank you, and welcome to the Wikipedia community!

I cannot fathom why this would even possibly considered a hoax unless the person proposing so has never seen or tried a Canary melon. I suggest that they look here: http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--35586/canary-melon.asp

I ahev read almost every link and could find nothing about how to respond to such an accusation. I hope this works.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:F starrcover.JPG.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:F starrcover.JPG.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Amélie Louise Rives

An editor has nominated Amélie Louise Rives, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amélie Louise Rives and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
