[edit] Welcome Fellow Thespian!

After reading your reply I decided to check out your userpage and discovered that no one has officially welcomed you. So, here is the official welcome:

Hello Swiftblade21, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Wikipedia:Help desk or (if you want a broader audience) the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
  • You can find lots more information, including open tasks and daily tips, at the community portal.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp as well.
  • Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show preview button to review your edits. Also, consider writing a summary for each edit.
  • The Tutorial is a great way to learn the basics in a more perspicuous fashion.

Now, with that out of the way, let me give you a personal welcome! It's always nice to see fellow thespians on here and I'm glad you have taken up some of the work on WikiProject Theatre! You should expect to see a wikiproject devoted to Elizabethan theatre in the very near future. I'm still working on that. But, please, make yourself at home and if I can answer answer any questions you may have, feel free to contact me on my talk page (just click on the link that says "Dialogue?" after my name. Again, welcome to WikiPedia! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 03:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the welcome! I'm still trying to get the hang of things around here, but I'm learning somthing new every day (such as how to upload a file, kudos to Ravenous for the picture!)

As far as my interest in theatre, I must admit it is somewhat limited to musicals at the moment, as those are the only types of show I've been truly exopsed to. both at my school and Upper Darby Summer Stage. My drama class at school has been exposing me more to plays but I'm still a musical person at heart (because I love to sing.) I really havn't had much of a system about editing pages for shows. It's just been whatever's struck my fancy. I often just look at the "famous opening nights" list on the IBDB homepage. Maybe I'll develop a system, who knows? Thanks again for making me feel welcome! --Swiftblade21 04:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I must admit that my first exposure to theatre came from the musical theatre vein as well. Really, I think those that have that exposure end up as better actors, having had both voice training and dance experience which can useful in "straight" plays as well...in other words, they use their voices better and move better than one trained simply in acting. Anyway, keep up the good work and break a leg onstage! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 20:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popups

In case anyone's noticed my recent frequent use of the popup revert tool, and also notices that I'm making mistakes, yes I'm aware of it. I normally go back and try to fix them, but if I've missed somthing, please let me know.Swiftblade21 03:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Rosensw.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rosensw.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.101.76 08:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Rosensw.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rosensw.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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.101.76 08:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
