Welcome Mastimido!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 40,131,022 registered editors!
Hello Mastimido. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm S0091, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Sincerely, S0091 (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2020 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:FailStateMovie.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Orphaned non-free image File:FailStateMovie.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:FailStateMovie.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 01:18, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded it for use in an article about the film, with the okay of the copyright holder. However since I am confused about how to properly use it, I will not use it. Mastimido (talk) 01:28, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mastimido! In your recent edit to Delaware State University, you tried to "indicate dead links in citations" by including |url-status=dead. Unfortunately, that's not what that parameter does. The parameter doesn't do anything (except generate a hidden maintenance message) if it's not accompanied with |archive-url= and |archive-date=. See Template:Cite web#Using "archive-url" and "archive-date" (and optionally "url-status") for webpages that have been archived for more info. I added archived URLs to those citations and fixed the layout. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 19:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

seeking help editing Fund for the Public Interest page

[edit]

Hi Mastimido-

I work with the PIRG network and appreciate the improvement you’ve made to the PIRG page by adding information about our work on toxics in art supplies. I’m trying to update Wikipedia pages for other affiliated organizations and was wondering if you’d be willing to help me.

In particular, I’d like to propose modifying some negative information on the Fund for the Public Interest page and, because I have a conflict of interest, I don’t want to touch that part of the page without someone else’s input. If this is something you can help with, what is the best way for me to communicate with you? Should I post here? Or on my talk page? Or should I just tag you on the article’s talk page?

~~~~ CleanWater17 (talk) 03:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can tag me on the talk page. I did just look at the page and saw the devious footnote placement, which I moved. But I haven't studied the sources more deeply. Mastimido (talk) 14:19, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
