Hello Davidrust and
welcome to
Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you.
Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to
be civil by following
simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to
ignore all rules.
If you want to learn more,
Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:
Help
FAQ
Glossary
Manual of Style
Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the
random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the
Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are
Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the
cleanup,
welcoming, and
counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki
projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on
my talk page. Again, welcome! --

Thanks for uploading
File:LOGINREGIONAL.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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Melesse ( talk) 01:31, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Generally, an article about a website must meet the criteria at WP:WEB or else someone will delete it. Drini's not a rogue admin, unfortunately that's just the culture here. Notice that the Gizmodo site has several citations from prominent third-party groups: the Guardian, New York Times, etc. The current Emol article on the Spanish Wikipedia would not meet the WP:WEB criteria and would likely be deleted. Find prominent citations and your article should stand. Good luck - Draeco ( talk) 16:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
List of Pinky and the Brain episodes, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with
Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the
reversion of clear-cut
vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. SummerPhD

Please do not
attack other editors, as you did at
List of Pinky and the Brain episodes. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please
stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Additionally, when you boldly make a change and someone reverts your change, it is time to discuss the edit, not restore it. Please see
WP:BRD. SummerPhD

You may be
blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make
personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors.

Hello, I'm
Shibbolethink. I wanted to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions to
Ivermectin have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your
sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the
Teahouse. It doesn't matter what any editor believes about Ivermectin, we have to respect what quality credible MEDRS sources say about the treatment. If it was not a mistake, your recent edit was vandalism, attempting to change the article 180 degrees in conflict with the sources cited. Please don't do that. And be aware that discretionary sanctions have been placed on that article. Disruptive editing like this on sanctioned articles could easily get you banned from Wikipedia.
