Also: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your username and the time after your comments. Signing with three tildes ~~~ will just sign your username. I hope to see you around Wikipedia! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question.

Image on user page

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that I removed the image that you had on your user page. According to applicable policy, copyrighted images that are being used on Wikipedia under a claim of "fair use" are not allowed on user pages. Please let me know if you have any questions! Cheers, Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 08:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to your note on my talk page, yes! It appears that the primary image on that article, File:Faith No More @ Brixton 09 1.jpg, is uploaded on Wikipedia under a free content license. You can feel free to use that one, if you'd like. Generally speaking, all of the album covers, official band images, etc. are going to be copyrighted. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 08:39, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why not check first, then welcome

It's nice of you to welcome people to Wikipedia, but it would be a lot more useful if you first checked their contribution. Two examples: Arthur W Doty (talk · contribs) created a nonsense article which has now been CSD nominated, Amalfrncis (talk · contribs) made a blatant POV edit to an article. In both cases you could have caught these first contributions and left a more appropriate welcome message / warning. --Biker Biker (talk) 09:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

in addition to this, make sure they actually exists. If you check this, [1], every page which goes against your name was a user page you created which has no corresponding user. All this does is create more work for me to do--Jac16888^Talk 14:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for Welcome Message

I look forward for guidance of senior editors like you. Kandasa (talk) 07:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
