If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

Welcome Colonial One Hi there Colonial One. Welcome to Wikipedia, its always good to see new users. When you get a chance, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself! You might also like to put a short introduction on your user page so that other wikipedians can get to know you.

I guess its a tiny bit late but a belated welcome to wikipedia, you seem to be getting on quite well with policies and editing so theres no real advice I can give you. Instead just keep up the good work. If you need any help don't hesitate to get in touch on my talk page and I'll be glad to help!! By the way I'm impressed with your good use of edit summaries. Even alot of long term users don't bother with them - which is a shame

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.. Signing your name is important on talk pages because it helps people get in touch with you. Also remember to indent each of your comments using : so that other users can follow the flow of discussions As well as editing wikipedia you could also think about taking part in many other essential activities that make wikipedia a friendly place. For example you could welcome new users to wikipedia (for this you are could use my welcome templates here) or you could try mediating discussions between other users. There are loads of other options at the Wikipedia:Community Portal.

Some links to get you started in the community: The new users Welcome page is a good place to start. Wikipedia:Tutorial runs through all the basics of editing an article and using Wikipedia. Wikipedia:How does one edit a page is a great resource to help aspiring editors. Wikipedia:Manual of Style has all the information on how a wikipedia article should look. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now! Wikipedia:Help has a broad range of general help topics you may find useful. Wikipedia:Help desk is a good place to ask questions and get answers. Wikipedia:Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

If you have any questions or just want to chat then leave a message on my talk page and I'll answer as soon as possible. Happy editing, Tmorton166 (Errant Emote) talk 19:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC) This personalised welcome message was created to follow my own policy on welcoming users. I hope that many others will adopt these common sense ideas. Add your support here

Esperanza

Hi! I noticed that you were on the list of Wikipedians whom wanted to join Esperanza but did not meet the requirements. You do now, so if you wish to join, just add your name to the members list. If not, thanks anyway! Some P. Erson 20:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Wallywarhawk.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Wallywarhawk.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ccwaters 20:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Michellejohnson01.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Michellejohnson01.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Always outnumbered.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Always outnumbered.jpg. 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. M06ff1 (talk) 00:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Meetup

Wikipedia:Meetup/Tampa -- You're invited! Hires an editor (talk) 13:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Stuckeyslogo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Stuckeyslogo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 01:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:05, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
