Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the help desk or at my talk page.
• Read the simplified ruleset and the five pillars of Wikipedia.
• Eventually, you might want to read the manual of style and policies and guidelines.
• Remember to write in a neutral point of view.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Again, welcome, and good luck! – Elisson • Talk 07:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Alanknight.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alanknight.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Please cite sources

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Southlake Carroll High School, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing!

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Samir (The Scope)

On this RFA, you left a comment saying "good Wikipedian, I just don't se why he needs adminship. Oh, and he's a Sens fan". If you look at his reply to question number 1 on that same page, you would realize the myriad uses he has for his administrative tools. Also, I don't see why the fact that "he's a Sens fan" should affect your judgement about him as a wikipedian, and whether he is trustworthy enough to become an admin.--May the Force be with you!

Done. The image was missing a ], which threw the rest of the infobox off. Oldelpaso 18:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for supporting my Request for Adminship! I appreciate it and will do my best to maintain the faith you have shown in me! – Ben W Bell talk 07:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Samir (The Scope)

Now you say that the comments were not there when you saw the page, but then he has added the replies since, and thus your rationale, is as you yourself admit incorrect. You also say that you would have supported; I hope you know that you can still change your vote to support. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91^(review me!) 08:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Oh, thanks, didn't expect that when I created it. :) – Elisson • Talk 11:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not upload images that are copyrighted. If you upload an image to Wikipedia, you have to specify the source and the licensing. If you have no rights for these images, do not upload them. Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 16:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

As for your request to clarify licensing, please see Wikipedia:Images#Obtaining_images. The principle is very simple: do not upload images whose licensing you are not familiar with. Only images released under the GNU or other free licensing schemes are allowed. There are some exceptions reated to fair use (for example the cover art of an album that could be used in an article about that album.). In all cases, when you upload an image, you must specify the source so that its licensing can be verified. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 18:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Rfa

Dear Minfo, thanks so much for your comments during my recent successful request for adminship. As I contributed quite a bit to articles, I did have to think quite a bit before deciding to try administration. Take care -- Samir धर्म 09:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.Yankees76 16:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, you reverted/added something that has already been reverted by more than one editor - a number of times. That's why you got the 'warning'. Secondly, to be included in the article, the player has had to have played, coached, refereed etc. in the NHL. Merely being drafted does not qualify for inclusion. Check the articles talk page where this issue has already been discussed. Yankees76 18:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Year-by-year stats for NASL articles

Thanks for your feedback on the updates. I was using the table I used for USISL teams. Take a look at the table below. I modified it from the one you are using that you sent me. It includes a bit more information. If you don't like it, I'll be happy to use the table you suggested. I like including the League column because a good number of teams either came from another league (NPSL, USA, even the old American Soccer League) or moved to another league (the MISL).

Year	League	W	L	T	Pts	Regular Season	Playoffs
1967	NPSL	14	11	7	156	2nd, Western Division	Did Not Qualify
1968	NASL	12	14	6	130	3rd, Gulf Division	Did Not Qualify
1969	NASL	3	11	2	47	4th	Did Not Qualify
1970	NASL	5	17	2	60	3rd, Northern Division	Did Not Qualify
1971	NASL	6	13	5	86	4th, Southern Division	Did Not Qualify
1972	NASL	7	4	3	69	1st, Southern Division	Won Semifinal (Rochester) Lost Championship (New York)
1973	NASL	7	7	5	82	2nd, Southern Division	Did Not Qualify
1974	NASL	4	15	1	54	4th, Central Division	Did Not Qualify
1975	NASL	13	9	—	115	1st, Central Division	Won Quarterfinal (Los Angeles) Lost Semifinal (Portland)
1976	NASL	5	19	—	58	5th, Pacific Conference, Western Division	Did Not Qualify
1977	NASL	12	14	—	104	2nd, Atlantic Conference, Northern Division	Lost Division Championship (Rochester)

One last thing... I know the NASL used the W-T-L format for their records, but the traditional format is W-L-T. I would suggest, if you keep your table, to either use the NASL's format, but label the column as W-L-T OR use the traditional W-L-T format and keep the column label as Record to avoid possible confusion.

Let me know what you think. DC 14:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Minfo, and thanks for supporting me in my recent request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 70/4/4. I hope I can live up to your expectations, and if there's ever anything you need, you know where to find me! --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 00:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to jumpstart the Marine Life Wikiproject and was curious if you were still interested (since your name is on the list), and if so, could give it some attention, nominating articles/voting ect.

WP Football in America

Please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject/List of proposed projects if you want to be a part of WikiProject Football(soccer) in the USA and Canada. The page is still under construction. I.m still searching for a template. XYZ CrVo 02:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

This would imply that Central America is included in the scope even if it isn't. The name is still being debated because it either sounds awkward or is too long or the usage isn't right. The name can be adjusted later. XYZ CrVo 00:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The page for WP Soccer and America User:XYZ CrVo/WikiProject Football (soccer) in the USA and Canada is up and running,

but still in its beginning stages. Please leave any comments on the talk page of the project. XYZ CrVo 02:59, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Football logos

Check out WP:FUC #8. ed g2s • talk 18:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Just FYI: things aren't "licensed under fair use". They're copyrighted logos and we're not licensed to use them freely (as is required by Wikipedia). We do use unfree images when we really need to, and we can do this because such uses can be covered by the Fair Use doctrine of US law. Check out WP:FU.
