Hello, Urstadt. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Jax 0677, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't vandalize
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

[edit]

We unfortunately do not allow "non-free" images except under very rare situations. Thus [1] will likely get deleted soon. We must either get release or create our own. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:45, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @Doc James:: Then why even allow random users to upload? If it's so rare, only moderators should be able to. That's fine. I'll boot up photoshop and draw the exact same diagram for upload. Thank you for letting me know. Urstadt (talk) 08:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - @Doc James: Alright, that's finished and uploaded. Urstadt (talk) 09:39, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Diagram of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Diagram of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 05:25, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @Future Perfect at Sunrise: Another user already indicated that this would happen. My apologies for the error. I already created my own image and uploaded it to the Cognitive behavioral therapy page. Please, just expedite deleting the non-free content in question in this post. Thank you.

I do not know how to create a new sandbox

[edit]

I am trying to go into my Sandbox, but when I do, I see a link to a page that was moved from my Sandbox to the site. I am afraid that if I work in my sandbox, I will screw up the page (Ontological hermeneutics). How can I work in my Sandbox without messing up the other page? Thank you.

Please, permanently ban my account

[edit]

Please, permanently ban my account. But, please don't block my IP. I'd like to be to keep using the cite. I just don't want an active account for editing any more. Thank you. Urstadt (talk) 23:09, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
