A welcome from Andy Shen[edit]

Hi, Tve4, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm Andy Shen. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! Here, however, are a few links to get you started:

If you haven't already, drop by the New user log and tell others a bit about yourself.
Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments.

Additional tips[edit]

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
- P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing.[edit]

- Andy Shen

Why did you ban me?[edit]

Why did you ban me from Finnish Wikipedia? None of the articles I have done have been vandalism and the reason you gave doesn't explain anything. Please explain if you ban someone. And I'm tired of getting banned. Dynamite2 13:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Dynamite2[reply]

If you are getting banned, there is always a reason (hoaxes, spam, etc.). According to logs I have not banned anyone with a username Dynamite2 so I don't know what are you talking about. But since you mentioned that you are getting tired of being banned, your own actions must be the reason. --Tve4 18:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, they aren't. I got banned on the day I registered (by another admin), that was before contributing anything. Dynamite2 23:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Dynamite2 And it is an IP ban and I know no one else has ever contributed to Wikipedia on our computer. Dynamite2 23:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Baker Lake vs Baker Lake, Nunavut[edit]

These are two different things. The first is about the lake and the second is about the hamlet. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, so it seems. Sorry about that, I read it poorly. --Tve4 07:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish railways[edit]

HI can you tag the Finnish railway articles in the talk pags as WikiProject Finland|class=stub with a {{ }} around it? -thanks Keep up the good work! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 09:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion[edit]

Hi, we don't usually delete talk pages (so they can be refered to later if necessary) but if you don't want it around I will delete it. Also we don't block users who leave incase you do, one day, decide to come back. The vandal would have to go through a lot of unnecessary effort when they could just create their own account. Something that might provide some useful information is your right to vanish. Remember, you're always welcome to return to Wikipedia. Thanks, James086^{Talk | Email} 09:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Assiniboine Valley Railway logo.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Assiniboine Valley Railway logo.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 10:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Chanel 9 Neus.png)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Chanel 9 Neus.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
