Five Pillars of Wikipedia
Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.
There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 06:54, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Please stop your vandalizism. It isn't funny. If you want to be funny, edit uncyclopedia.org uncyclopedia. Also your referring to someone as incredible on your Joe Cammel edit violates WP:NPOV. Where 02:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism
[edit]I'm sorry that I misinterpreted your actions as vandalism. However, for future reference, you should note that Wikipedia articles should be edited with NPOV in mind: that is, all of your statements must have a neutral point of view. Your statement that a Jewfro can run one's sexlife is funny, but it is a point of view, and is thus not welcome when stated as fact (see the NPOV link for details). I had similar issues with your statement that an individual was "incredible". I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Also, you should talk to other users using the user talk pages, not the user pages themselves. In addition, you should sign your comments with ~~~~. Where 01:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Also, you didn't specify a license for your picture. Unfortunately, this means wikipedia will delete it within a week automatically unless this is resolved. You may wish to see WP:IT Where 01:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Gkaplan.jpg
[edit]
|
This image may be deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Gkaplan.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Sherool (talk) 03:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Your edits on Jewfro, specifically your reversions, attempt to introduce materiel that is not consistiant with our neutrality policy. Please do not make such edits in futue. Also please note that repeated reverts are geenrally frowned on, and an excessive number are specifically probibited by the three-revert rule. DES (talk) 00:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to leave you a note about the same thing (specifically this edit), and I see it's already been brought to your attention. So, please do observe our core editorial policies, such as NPOV mentioned about, and also verifiability. Hope this helps. Friday (talk) 01:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
self righteousness
[edit](copied from User talk:DESiegel):
self-righteous and ego-maniacal zealots such as yourself are ruining wikipedia...just bc u dont agree with something doesn't mean that it is either false or an opinion...please get off your high horse and stop alientaing those who genuinely wish to better Wikipedia! WhoermasterWhoermaster
- I don't know what you are refering to. I try not to be either "self-righteous" or a "zealot", and I don't think i am "ego-maniacal". I am human, and I can make mistakes. if you indicate where you think I have made one I am open to honsetly dicussing the matter. DES (talk) 22:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- It may be you refer to my edit on Jewfro. If so, i don't see that edit as fitting your description. I also remind you of WP:NPA and WP:AGF. DES (talk) 22:51, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]The joke is over. No more sockpuppets or you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Just zis Guy you know? 21:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Kaplang062502.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Kaplang062502.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 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.
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 06:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Instead of a snide comment and deleting a relevant citation of a major interview, you might have been slightly more helpful by including a link to the 60 Minutes interview. Mavx5 03:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Yellow Dog Dems
[edit]I changed your adjective "facetious" to a more neutral tone. i think facetious doesn't connote the gravity or seriousness behind the concept of a YDD, particularly during the early- to mid-20th century, when the South was effectively one party. yes, i do think many self-described YDDs would have voted for the yellow dog over a Republican.

The file File:Man in bar with glass of beer.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused personal photo. Out of scope.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 09:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
