Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Dear Bagdad-bob: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! It was nice to hear from you on my talk page. Please keep making great contributions! Regards, Accurizer 11:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geert Hofstede[edit]

Hi Bagdad-bob, nice to hear from you! I think it is a good thing that you also posted your observations and question at Talk:Geert Hofstede; this will inform anyone watching the article of your intentions, and they may want to collaborate with you. In the mean time, I encourage you to be bold; go ahead and expand the article yourself as you suggested (rather than removing the incomplete information) and cite references for the information you add. Don't be too concerned about making it perfect right away. All articles here are a work in progress, and there is no deadline! Best of luck. Regards, Accurizer 14:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo experian.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo experian.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
