[edit] Welcome

Hello, Rpchurch, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. Kusonaga 20:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Agentcheesecake 01.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Agentcheesecake 01.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. 15:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Ray bandar

A tag has been placed on Ray bandar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bearian (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a {{hangon}} template to an article. In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide a reasoning of why it should remain on the article's talk page. Thank you.

It is considered incivil to edit another person's userpage. In addition, your recent edit to User:Bearian was a presumptuous "correction" that was not a correction. His wording was perfectly grammatical English, just as "elected President" would be. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Try WP:UP#OWN. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Userpages are as close to being one's own as anything here (this isn't MySpace). Correction of another editor's idiom is often (not always) a violation of our acceptance for diverse varieties of English usage; infinitely more so on one's userpage. Of course, it is up to Bearian, not me, to decide to what extent he/she is offended. (Also note: vandalism of one's userpage is the most common form of attack upon an editor; a really sound editor may rack up 100 or more such incidents. Thus, we tend to be hyperprotective of each other's userpages.) --Orange Mike | Talk 21:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I have no problem with others pointing out errors. I teach legal writing to college students. I strive for correct grammar and citation form, but I use less formal grammar on the telephone, and in WP, in edit summaries, "my" user space, and talk pages. I want to keep what I wrote. Admins watch each others' pages and revert what is done by others. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 02:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
