Welcome to Wikipedia[edit]

Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.

Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
Quick Introductions to:

Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?

What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.

If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.

Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.

May 2016[edit]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Allan Anderson (theologian), from its old location at User:DrJUsher/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 20:58, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Prof Allan Anderson.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Prof Allan Anderson.jpg, which you've attributed to A. Anderson. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Diannaa, I've sent evidence of permission to the email address you have provided. DrArminius (talk) 20:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting that looked after. I have tagged the file as {{OTRS pending}} so it doesn't get deleted before the email gets processed. — Diannaa (talk) 20:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion pending for File:Prof Allan Anderson.jpg[edit]

Hello, DrArminius. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Prof Allan Anderson.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:38, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Allan Anderson (theologian), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
