Welcome

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Invercargill March

The Invercargill March now has its own article. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 10:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, not from Launceston, I live in the Riverina in New South Wales. I can't restore the Alex Lithgow article as most of it was a word-for-word copy of this article. Wikipedia has a strict policy on copyrights and can't be seen to be breaching others rights. You can recreate the article if you wish (perhaps at Alex Lithgow), using the ADB article as a source but you can't copy sentences word for word. Cheers and good luck, Mattinbgn\^talk

The Australian Dictionary of Biography article on Lithgow was written in 1986 and much of the Wikipedia article was a word-for-word copy of it including formatting such as capital letters, dashes etc. Most of the copied content predated your involvement with the article. Uploading images isn't difficult, see Wikipedia:Uploading images#How to upload for help or you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. If you are still having problems you can e-mail me by using the "E-mail this user" link on the left of my talk page. I will need to know the creator of the image and the licence it has been released under. Once again, the help desk will be better able to assist than I on the technicalities of licencing etc. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 12:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Lithgow article looks great! Well done. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 20:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

July 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Invercargill has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\byoutube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE0XN_Fe-U8) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Lithgow music

If you have a recording of the music of Alex Lithgow... well. Copyright on the music is one thing, but copyright on the recording is something else. Who performed it? When?

Also, due to lengthy legalistic reasons, we don't host any .mp3s; rather, any and all sound files must be converted to .ogg format. DS (talk) 13:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Anzac Day, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
