Welcome[edit]

Hi, UncleYoface. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:UncleYoface/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

{{tb|Chzz|Thanks for the introductory note.}} Chzz ► 19:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I'm not sure if you will have seen my reply about images. My talk page gets archived after things are left for 100 hours, so I thought I'd better post a copy of it here for you - otherwise you might wonder where my reply had gone. Cheers, Chzz ► 13:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually have a question. How do I upload a picture onto someone's page. Wikipedia won't let me. They say I'm not authorized.UncleYoface (talk) 18:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can't upload pictures to Wikipedia until your account is autoconfirmed, which means 4 days and 10 edits; however, you probably don't want to. If the image is copyright-free (or your own and you are happy to give up copyright), then you should upload it to Wikimedia commons instead, at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload

Anyone can upload there; just follow the instructions - and that's where free images should go.

For more info, see WP:IMAGES. Cheers, Chzz ► 19:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yehoshua Landau[edit]

Hi Uncle Yoface: You edited the Rabbi Yehoshua Landau which is now being questioned. Please take alook at it and see if you can add to it and improve it. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 07:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
