Welcome[edit]

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Aristotle Onassis[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Aristotle Onassis, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. _{El Greco}^(talk) 19:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Aristotle Onassis. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. please add an inline citation for Peter Evans, page number, book, publisher etc. Please read WP:Citing Sources, WP:V, and WP:RS _{El Greco}^(talk) 22:27, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Aristotle Onassis. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please read WP:BURDEN. _{El Greco}^(talk) 00:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Onassis[edit]

Because it's up to the person adding the text to provide citations. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 22:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Generally we do delete unsourced text which may be controversial. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 22:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding references. It is appreciated. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 23:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Aristotle Onassis Best Years.JPG[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Aristotle Onassis Best Years.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi alex, you are very welcome. Glad to help anytime – it's a good article, : ) Julia Rossi (talk) 22:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi alex, is that you wishing me happy new year from an ip in Montevideo? If not, never mind. Happy New Year to you and hope you have a great 2009, Julia Rossi (talk) 05:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikify Tagging[edit]

You have tagged several articles (all Greek related it would seem) for wikification with a {{wikify}} tag. In none of those cases is any formatting, linking or other Manual of Style corrections needed. Please do not tag articles for wikification when they are not needed. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Metal Furniture[edit]

The article Metal Furniture has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There's nothing notable about metal furniture as a category that deserves an article. Maybe a mention in the main Furniture article, but that's it. Article appears to promote a website.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:47, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories from the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.

I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.

I will be in Rio de Janeiro on the 6th, 7th and 8th of March 2012, and i'll be attending:

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Encontros/WikiRio_8.0

I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. I apologize for any mis-translation in this message (perhaps it might inspire a laugh?) I am using Google-translate at the moment, but plan to have translators available when we are in Brazil.

Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!

Thank you,

Victor Grigas

Boeing 707[edit]

Please do not edit war, your addition of an image was challenged so you need to gain a consensus on the talk page to add, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 20:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The image quality challenge is ok now, there is no challenge anymore

Warning[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Boeing 707. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MilborneOne (talk) 20:13, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
