Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Jedi Amara! I'm Celestianpower. 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". 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:

There are lots of policies and guidelines to get to grips with but they all make your life easier and your stay more fun in the long run. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? ;)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a great time, all the best, sayonara and good luck! --Celestianpower háblame 17:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Alice_McCoy.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 10:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to the Digimon Systems Update WikiProject

edit

Thanks for joining the project! Actually, there really isn't a join or not joined, the list of participants is more of a way for us to be able to find other users who are interested in working on the project. Anyone can work on the articles or the WikiProject even if their names are not listed on the page. But doing so you should take some things into consideration. Basically, being apart of a WikiProject means you'll uphold standards and guidelines that the group comes up with, as well as guidelines that our parent group comes up with, WikiProject Anime and manga. And don't forget to be familiar with the basics of Wikipedia, such as the things talked about in your welcome message above from this message. But don't be afraid of making mistakes or worry about following guidelines a whole lot. Wikipedia has a lot and it's a lot to take in. Just use common sense and make good faith efforts to follow the guidelines, no one is expected to know all of them, and sometimes they don't even apply, so you don't always know until you make an edit. If you are unsure about something you can always make a note on it's discussion page (the link for each article's discussion page is next to the edit this page link) for asking for help or even just asking for other people's suggestions and feedback.

So far on our WikiProject we don't have a lot of guidelines formally set out yet, but you'll find most of this kind of stuff being talked about on the talk page (remember to place for ~~~~ after your messages, this will automatically insert your name and the date of the message).

Remember to not violate copyrights, such as cutting and pasting from other Digimon websites isn't allowed. Instead, re-write the information so it becomes an original work. And remember that Wikipedia isn't a fan-site, the articles should contain information that is useful and interesting to those who have not seen the shows or played the card games. There's a lot of work to be done to clean up existing articles, so you might notice that most Digimon articles currently don't follow all the guidelines (as it is, most of the guidelines are being worked out still). But again, don't worry too much about it unless it's a major change (such as deleting a whole section or changing information on a large group of articles, and even then it's no big deal because we can always revert to an older version if anything gets messed up).

So, again, welcome to the WikiProject. Check out the links on the Project page for what we have so far, and definitely check out the talk page and get involved there as well with opinions and any ideas you have. And make sure you add the project page to your watch list so you can see when someone posts a new message or makes a new guideline. -- Ned Scott 03:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

and sorry for the late welcome :D -- Ned Scott 03:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
