Hi
A quick point.. in general there's no need to convert english spelling of words to american spelling. In general we try to stick to american spellings, but it's not considered to be an important enough issue to bother to change articles from one to the other. There's a page about it somewhere on wikipedia - probably have to search for it heh.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

[edit] Image needed
The zig-zag bridge article needs an image similar to http://community.webshots.com/photo/35283097/35283775atqSqK - is it possible that you could provide one? Thanks, Leonard G. 00:54, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Devils Tower National Monument
Hi Colin. Just to let you know that I've slightly edited your photograph of Devils Tower to reduce "surplus" sky and trees. Essentially so that the subject dominates the image. The size alteration came out of a discussion I had with another editor (Walter Siegmund) about the images on the page. I hope that you don't mind, but please feel free to revert to your original image if you prefer it. Cheers, --Plumbago 11:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image Copyright issues
Hi there. I've been flipping through a lot of St. Louis related articles and have noticed that you've submitted a large amount of photographs for the article. However, you've marked them with an obsolete copyright tag. I wanted to ask you to either do it yourself or give permission before I go through and change the tags to {{PD-user|Colin.faulkingham}}. --jcarkeys 02:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Criteria for Deleting Links?
So, what criteria are you using to justify your deletion of quaility and relevant links on Big_Bend_National_Park? What are the URLs to this criteria in Wikipekia's policies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Npgallery (talk • contribs)
- Look at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-02-06 Pschemp. Nationalparks 21:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
And then consider ignoring Npgallery. Pschemp | Talk 22:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

- I agree! Nationalparks 22:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia's external links policy guideline is pretty clear on the matter.

[edit] Mount Augustus
Thanks for pointing out that the current image is marked for deletion. I am chasing a number of web sites for permission to use their image for Wikipedia. Garglebutt / (talk) 06:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Zostera.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Zostera.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 22:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
