Welcome to wikipedia! If you have any questions about wikipedia you can ask me. If I don't know the answer I'll ask someone else. Wikipedia does have a lot of information, but there is also some fun stuff too. Check out the
BJAODN. Once again if you have any questions just ask me. Rentastrawberry

Thanks!
Thanks for welcoming me! i don't have a clue how this talk thing works yet though :-)
Tip: If you want to make sure that someone sees what you want to say to them then type it on their talk page not your own because they might not come back to your talk page. I did that too when I was new.

Beautiful South
Hello. Thanks for mentioning the refernce on the other talk page. I reckon it woul dbe useful to add that to the relevant pages. A reference gives the article more ooompphh :) The JPS 18:53, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thanks
Yes, thanks makes it look more profesional :-).
I don't understand though, sometimes when i go to The Beautiful South main page all the links have dissapeared, and when i click on them it comes up with the editing page.
Why is this?
How do i add
Add images to the orange boxes like the one on This page?
First you need to upload an image. Use 'Upload file' in the toolbox at the left hand side of your screen. Giving the image a copyright tag is important: include {{albumcover}} in the description. The JPS 18:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Image tips
Hello!
Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.
Pick an image name.
When uploading an image, pick a file name that is short, descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
Source the image.
On the
image description page
, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
Provide copyright and license information.
This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like
NoRightsReserved
}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another
fair use
, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.
Describe the image.
To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.
Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Farcy1.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags
for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, 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 you. --OrphanBot 07:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on
criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
