Hello, and welcome to the ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many Wikipedians around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry—you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it!
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
Hey there, I see that you're a recent changes patroller. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but
Lupin's anti-vandal tool might be useful for you. Keep up the good work! —

Images need a source. Promotional images may or may not, depending on who is tagging (See discussion
here), but it seems it is agreed that all other Fair Use images do need a source (see another discussion
following). Since Seems this is a grey area in Wikipedia. Most of the images I tagged were Fair Use with no source. Please, do go to those threads and reply there if you wish to revert something that seems (in most cases, I am not perfect) correct. --

Thanks for uploading
Image:Kazooiestand.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. BetacommandBot 17:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
