[edit] Welcome to Wiki!
Hello Blauwkoe, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
- Experiment in the sandbox.
- Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
- Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
- Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
- Be bold in updating pages.
- Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
- And most importantly, have fun!
One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.
If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.
I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule

[edit] Image Tagging Image:GJohnsonMap Burnetts.jpg
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:GJohnsonMap Burnetts.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Hunter 16:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you for expanding Bill Monroe
Thanks for adding more stuff in Bill Monroe. I really wanted to have special mentions on the Martin-Lyle and Rowan-Greene-Grier-James Monroe line-ups. I'd add a mention on the influence of his manager Ralph Rinzler, but I tend to be busy even during weekends and might not get around to it quickly. If you want to write it up before I do, please go ahead. --Lazybum 15:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Keith style
What was the reason for your removing of the reference to the Keith style of banjo playing from the Bill Monroe article? --Lazybum 22:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Response re: Keith style
Thanks for asking -- my fingers slipped before I had completed my comment and I could not figure out how to edit it! Anyway, there is a link to Keith which the user can click, and in the Keith article is all the info. about Keith style. That's where it belongs, not in the article on Monroe. His time with Monroe was not relevant to his development of Keith style. Now, if you want to say that Monroe hired him *because* Monroe wanted to show up Flatt & Scruggs and show that Scruggs-style was not intrinsic to BG... then go ahead! I know some people believe this but I am not sure it is documentable. I.e. it's a question of the article's point of view. The Monroe article is from his point of view, not Keith's.
An interesting side note is that Keith has said that the longer he worked with Monroe the more he got away from "Keith" style and more back into Scruggs style, it just seemed to fit better. You can also hear the discrepency between styles on Salt Creek and Sailor's Hornpipe -- Baker can not play melodically and the two styles sound dissonant.
