From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hey there, Halpaugh, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 2,406,641 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:

• You might want to check out the welcome page.
• Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
• After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.

Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 19:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Stellaria pubera1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stellaria pubera1.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 00:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flowers

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

Hi there; pictures of flowers, however pretty, do not make a wiki article. It may be that you intended to add text later. May I suggest that articles like this might be created in a sub-page (WP:SP) and moved to main-space when complete? This will avoid distress if early deletion is chosen as an option by new-page patrollers.--Anthony.bradbury 23:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:White fringed orchid.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:White-fringed-orchid.JPG. The copy called Image:White-fringed-orchid.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 21:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University Information

hello I´m a college student from Mexico. I´m up to write an article for my school about the MIT so I´m looking for information from their students. This is the kind of information I´m looking for: - Campus facilities - Student life - Information about your degree. - Masters programs (general info)

It would be relly helpful if you could answer my request

Thank you

[edit] Daniel C. Drucker

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Daniel C. Drucker, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://coewww.rutgers.edu/aam/obituary/drucker.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice save on this one. :-)--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 20:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
