Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I'd just hate to see you get off on the wrong foot...or feetsinker. :^) Anyway, welcome to the club. Take a look-see at the Wikipedia:Manual of style and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If those don't answer your questions, feel free to leave word on my talk page like you just did. Again, welcome to the Wacki Wiki, as I like to call this crazy site. The reason I like to call it that is probably because I'm pretty stupid. - Lucky 6.9 02:34, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Your new user page!
Hello again. I moved the personal info on your club to your brand-new user page. That's the place where you can talk about yourself to your heart's content. Oh, and please don't remove speedy-delete tags. Even though the original article will be deleted, it'll remain on your user page. - Lucky 6.9 02:38, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
You're cool! - Poppyhaitian
- Thanks for the compliment! Regarding your question, you might want to drop a line to Jimbo Wales. He's the founder of the site. Just click on the blue link and then on "E-mail this user" to contact him. Just remember to put something about Wikipedia in the subject line. There's also a site called "Wikinerds" that takes anything and everything that Wikipedia doesn't. It's a lot smaller than Wikipedia and, quite possibly, a lot more fun in regards to talking about your club. Good luck! - Lucky 6.9 02:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Velva2.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Velva2.gif. 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 you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, 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. Dethomas 00:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WPND
- Wikipedia:WikiProject North Dakota is official! Sort of. Lot of cleanup needed on the project page and plenty of work to do making a decent to-do list, etc. etc., but it all starts somewhere. Thanks for all your help! --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MatthewUND's RfA
I just self-nominated myself for administrator's status on Wikipedia. As an active member of WikiProject North Dakota, I feel that having admin status would allow me the ability to be more useful to the project and to curtail vandalism and other problems. An admin is able to protect pages that are being bombarded with vandalism and to more quickly revert pages that have been vandalized. I've always hoped that we could get an admin to join the WikiProject so we would have someone to turn to in times of need. Since we still don't have an active admin within the project's membership, I decided to nominate myself. I really hope you will visit my request for adminship and support me. Thanks! --MatthewUND(talk) 10:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
