Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• Wikipedia:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Thank you very much

Thank you very much! You're extremely nice and I admire your advocacy of involving everyone, extending your (and Wikipedia's) hand to newcomers, and your recognition of others' hard work. We need more people like you and the civility and class you bring along. From one Jon Stewart fan to another, thanks! CinnamonCinder 00:57, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• It looks like somebody's been reading up on my history! :) It's my pleasure to welcome somebody who's not afraid to do a little research. -- ClockworkSoul 03:52, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MarcianoRocky.jpg

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.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:MarcianoRocky.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MarcianoRocky.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

In My Life

Hey, I responded to your post on the talk page! I only say that 'cause I know they don't send alerts or anything. I look forward to your response! CinnamonCinder 22:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Cin. It's on my Watchlist, so I'd hear about it. However, I'm in the middle of other stuff right now. I may reply, but I'm not too interested in debating the matter, or escalating the dispute, so I'm mostly expecting other editors to consider the matter. / edg ☺ ★ 22:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

In My Life

Oh, I wasn't looking for an escalation, and I'm not mad or upset or anything. I was just letting you know that if you wanted to respond or share your thoughts that it was welcome and I wouldn't view it as a heated battle with negative feelings.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

We're heads up. You've got the larger stack. I'm big blind, you call in and the flop hits, you're holding A♣ K♠.

I go all in. What are you gonna do?

Also, K♠ Q♠ K♣ 6♦.

Image copyright problem with Image:JimmyKimmel.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:JimmyKimmel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 06:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Buck Adams

Hello CinnamonCinder, I wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits to the Buck Adams article. I edited the article several weeks ago to take out advertsement and fluff and I removed the very verbiage that you put back in about, "I poop from there". Please be advised that when placing additions to artciles, the information has to be encyclopedic in nature. One cannot say that it, "became viral" as that would lend to WP:POV. I appreciate your efforts, but at this point this information will have to remain off of the article. Please feel free to add to it and include information that will make it a better article. Just remember, anything added has to be sourced from a third party reliable source. Canyouhearmenow 12:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Templating

Hey yea, I was just substituting the template since it was applied in an incorrect manner from a technical point of view. It was just done off of a list of places the template appeared, so I have no idea about why it was originally placed, nor was it a "new" warning. Sorry for the confusion.

File:MyFriendSinging.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:MyFriendSinging.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 17:45, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Abuse of multiple accounts

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

•  Confirmed to CMChuck. This isn't the first time you've used both accounts to add/restore disputed edits.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
• Ponyo, I am convinced that Woohoo5241 and this editor are the same person. Given that they continued editing through that account after you had blocked this one, I'm modifying your block to be indefinite. Feel free to overrule me if you think I'm being too harsh.
