Welcome

Hello, Mqduck, welcome to Wikipedia.


You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)

Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.

Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.


You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: 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 village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! —Plato

Image copyrights

Thanks for uploading Image:Papaver alpinum.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 20:48, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Civility and Alan Dershowitz

Whilst I agree with your edit to the Alan Dershowitz page, and I am sure many others do too, please refrain from using swear words in your edit summaries. Some people find them offensive, and there are always polite ways to get your point across. Here at Wikipedia, we believe that you should always assume good faith and be civil. It would be appreciated if you could follow these guidelines as well. Thanks a lot, and if you want anything please do not hesitate to reply on my talk page.

Personally, I don't care about "swear words" as long as they aren't used to insult somebody else, and Wikipedia isn't censored. But saying things like "anyone who doesnt see the sentance i changed as a literal contradiction of the previous paragraph is insane" isn't okay because Wikipedia expects its contributors to be civil to one another. I don't mean to seem like I'm ganging up on you, but please be more civil in your interactions here going forward. Thanks and if I can help you somehow don't hesitate to leave me a message. · Katefan0(scribble)/poll 17:26, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To anyone who reads this: The points were well taken and I agree with them. I should and shall remain civil in the future.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Broken chains.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Broken chains.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Introducing typos into other people's comments

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Square root of 2. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —David Eppstein 14:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my quick assumption that these were deliberate. It looks like I should have assumed better faith. —David Eppstein 15:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
