[edit] Message
Hy Jxdent, and welcome to Wikipedia
I've seen your recent contribution to Wikipedia and I can say that they were quite good for a new user. Keep it that way. I've got some small sugestions to help you improuve you contributions:
- you seem to omit adding Edit summary at your contributions. This increases the dificulty to follow the modifications you made at an article and adds a certain question mark to your modifications. There is a team WP:RCP which follows the recent changes in search of vandalisms and you also make their job easier if you add an edit summary. You can add a small coment, like added info, or added category, or removed biased info, etc.
- another thing is that I've seen you use to do a very large number of small edits. It is OK to save your contribution often, but it has a negative efect on the page history, as it is more and more difficult to compare your modifications with earlier ones. You have the function to preview the modifications you've made, and you can do several modifications, preview them and then make a more consistent save. (Again don't forget to ad an edit summary).
- If you make consistent contributions try adding references on the page, or explain on the talk page the source of your contributions so that they can be verifyable.
- I've seen yo've added some photos Image:Poenari.jpg and Image:Targoviste reconst.jpg. The first needs a source. If you made it, you can say that. If you found it on a site, you should check out the site where you found it and see if their images are copyrighted. About the second, I'm sorry to inform you, but it looks like a copyrighted photo (it has a shaddow text on the moddle and a small caption in the left lower corner saying Copyright Ed Humanitas and Radu Oltean) Now, If you're not Radu oltean, or you have not his or Humanitas approuval you are not allowed to use it.
Hope to have been of some use, I'llbe wayting your answer on my talk page. Thanks and keep up the good work! -- Mihai -talk 19:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- For now you cannot delete a page, you have to be an Administrator to do that. There is a page Wikipedia:Speedy deletions where you could go and request that page to be deleted, or you could look for an administrator and ask him to delete that page or image. As I am an administarator I can proceed and delete that image if you agree.
- Another thing, I've seen you are intrested in romanian subjects, then you might find this link useful: Wikipedia:Romanian Wikipedians' notice board it is a message board for the romanian users or where Romania related subjects can be discussed. Take care however, that you can stumble on delicate matters, mostly related to history, and I advise you to contribute only after you study the evolution of things and the ideeas formulated around the subjects.
