Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome!
Joshua Bartholomew AfD and learning the wiki
Thanks for providing that source. If you need help with something, just add {{helpme}} to your talk page and someone will be here shortly. Or you can leave me a message by clicking this link and I will be glad to help. You're doing fine so far. Try to follow the bulleting of comments that I did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joshua Bartholomew. You might also add the code:
- *'''Keep''' per my reasoning above.--~~~~
to a new line of the page to make it explicit.--Kchase02 T 08:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Joshua Bartholomew CMW 2006 - 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joshua Bartholomew CMW 2006 - 1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

How do I remove or delete a picture that I uploaded to Wikipedia?
My first contribution has been nominated for deletion. Once this process is over, can it be repeated again and again?
- Let me know which pictures you want deleted, and I will tag them for removal. Also, which contribution is tagged for deletion? Maybe I can explain to you why it is marked as such. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 18:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- The picture name is: Joshua Bartholomew CMW 2006 - 1.jpg It's the only one I have uploaded. As far as my contribution goes, I joined Wikipedia in the wee hours this morning. I thought I would write a short contribution and add to it later today. My first post was at 5:56. I was still in the middle of working on the article only to find that it was nominated for deletion at 7:32. I have since added to it. My concern/question is, can people re-nominate the same page for deletion or can it only be nominated once? Frankly, I have found this process unfair and offensive. Perhaps a 24-48 hour grace period for newcomers to get familiarized with Wikipedia. And certainly an offer of help before a nomination for deletion. I don't know the person who nominated my contribution for deletion, but I will guess he doesn't listen to Canadian radio or watch Canadian television. I'm grateful for the help I have received from Kchase02, Captainktainer and yourself. Thank you!
