Welcome!

[edit]
Hello, John-Nash, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
  • Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.
Happy editing!

But please don't remove the "copyedit" template from articles unless you're sure that the work has been done. Dorgon still contains some very odd English. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  1. I placed the "copyedit" tag because I hadn't the time to copy-edit the article there and then; when I get the chance I'll do so. In the meantime, please leave it in place. the English is in serious need of correction.
  2. Please 'sign' your comments with four tildes (as explained above).
  3. While you're at liberty to delete comments from your Talk page, it's generally deprecated (it's taken as suggesting that you have something to hide). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
That's OK. I've now copy-edited the article; see what you think. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It looked good to me; I've done a little tidying (remember that headers, like titles, only use capitals for the first word and proper nouns). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:32, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Lichtenstein

[edit]

Hi! I noticed your extensive work on Lichtenstein - nice work, I've noticed a couple of times what a little stub it was for such a major artist. I hope you will stay around, Wikipedia needs good contributors! The table in the article is appropriate and looks quite good, but you may be interested to know there's a way of doing tables using wiki syntax which is a bit easier and fits Wiki style better. Best wishes. --RobertGtalk 16:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Beetle Anatomy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, 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 ou. -- Longhair 13:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Benday dots image

[edit]

I have recently removed your image from the Benday dots article because I don't think it illustrated "Benday dots". It looked like the Photoshop filter "Color Halftone", and according to the article...

Ben-day dots differ from halftone dots in that the Ben-day dots are always of equal size and distribution in a specific area.

I'm not sure if your image was correct based on that description, but I am not an expert in the area. I just thought I'd let you know I removed it temporarily. Cheers! TIM KLOSKE|TALK 00:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
