Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Avathar. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Avathar~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:15, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

If you absolutely wan to make a reference to a wake-up phase of Quebec society then it's an awakening, not a wake. If you had something else in mind then stae it. It can't possibly be hydrodynamics or modern Celtic burial customs. --AlainV 05:56, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The thing is that these institutions did not all appear after the Quiet Revolution. The big noticeable ones like Hydro Quebec (which was born in 1944 but became a new institution during the QR) and CEGEPs appeared during the Quiet revolution. In fact many analysts argue that these institutions _are_ the quiet revolution. So a metaphor placing them after it does not fit in. --AlainV 06:38, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi there. O.K. if I use your photo on the main "bicycle page"? You may notice that in trying to correct the spelling of "reflector" I transiently erased the photo, but reverted it O.K.. thanks.Sfahey 17:35, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Khashmi316, I'd like to upload your photo Image:Bike refelector safety flash.JPG in Commons, so that we can use it in other wikiprojects. But I need to know the license under which you upload it here. Could you please clarify it at the picture page or tell it to me?, thank you. --Javier Carro 10:15, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright tags
Thanks for uploading Image:Bike Lights front.JPG and Image:Bike refelector safety flash.JPG. I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Tagishsimon (talk) 00:36, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Khashmi - thanks for adding your photo Image:Choke-Berries-IMG 2431 051013 121714.jpg, which is good for the Chokeberry article. However, to be kept on wikipedia, it needs a license tag. Could you please select one and add it to the photo - thanks, MPF 18:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Warnings
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. (Requestion 21:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC))

A tag has been placed on AstraNOS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

non-notable.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AstraNOS.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:AstraNOS.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 12:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia and Sources
I just thought I'd let you know I read your comments on sources and Wikipedia on the BYU Talk page. I agree completely with them.

Wikipedia has the chance to be a very useful thing because so many people know so much stuff (I mean, that's why I made an account — I saw a page where I knew I could make a real contribution), but as long as it's all fairly anonymous and relatively void of sources and citations, it won't be taken seriously.

As one who is still in college (finishing up next week — finally!), I know the way a professor of mine reacted when a fellow student once asked about using Wikipedia as a source in a paper, and I don't think such reactions are limited to professors or academics only.

Oh well, it's kind of a fun little hobby for now.

Believe me, the last thing I want to do is to WP:BITE you. It's just that there are certain minimum requirements for inclusion, content being among them.

Uxbridge Road tube station

Uxbridge Road was a railway station on the West London Railway from 1869 to 1940. It was initially served by London & North Western Railway and the Great Western Railway. In 1905 the line became a branch of the Metropolitan Railway, and later London Underground's Metropolitan line. Uxbridge Road station closed on 21 October 1940 during World War II, when the West London Line was put out of service during the Blitz.

The station was located at the eastern end of the Uxbridge Road in Shepherd's Bush, west London, UK, just before the start of Holland Park Avenue, a short distance from Shepherd's Bush station on the Central line. The station entrance was situated on the site of the present-day Holland Park roundabout.

History
The Great Western Railway (GWR) opened the Hammersmith & City Railway (H&CR) on 13 June 1864, and from 1 July 1864 carriages from Kensington (Addison Road) (now Kensington [Olympia]) were attached and detached from trains at Notting Hill; through services between Kensington and the City of London beginning in April 1865. A station had been built on the chord linking the H&CR and West London Railway, but this never opened due to GWR objections. Following an agreement between the Metropolitan Railway and GWR in August 1868, Uxbridge Road station, designed by the London & North Western Railway (L&NWR), opened on the West London Railway on 1 November 1869. A GWR service from Great Western Main Line suburban stations to Victoria station passing through the station also stopped, with up to eleven services a day, initially from Southall and Reading.

In 1872 the GWR Addison Road service was extended to Mansion House over the District Railway, becoming the 'middle circle'. This terminated at Earl's Court from 1900, and from 1905 was replaced by a shuttle between Hammersmith & City stations and Addison Road. The shuttle was replaced in 1907 by four electric trains an hour from Addison Road to Aldgate. This service appears on the first 'London Underground' map in 1908 as a Metropolitan Railway service. The GWR service to Victoria was withdrawn after 1915, but they were to provide a workman's service from Greenford to Kensington from 1922 to 1938.

Also from 1872 a L&NWR 'outer circle' service from Broad Street to Mansion House passed through the station. In 1909 the L&NWR also ran several through trains to Southern England over the line, and some called at Uxbridge Road. The outer circle was cut back to Earl's Court in 1909 and by 1914, when electric services began, was a Willesden Junction to Earl's Court shuttle. The service from Earl's Court to Uxbridge Road appears on the first 'London Underground' map in 1908 as a District Railway service.

The West London Railway was bombed several times in September and October 1940, and closed 21 October 1940. Passenger services over the entire line did not restart after the war.

Resurrection of station
As part of the redevelopment of the White City site, a new main line and London Overground station named Shepherd's Bush opened in 2008, on part of the site of the original Uxbridge Road station site as an interchange with Shepherd's Bush Central line station.

Lighthouse Wikiproj
Hey there. Nice to see someone has taken the initative on a lighthouse wikiproject. I've updated Wood Island Light with the common infobox and a full article. Take a look and tell me what you think? It might be a good example article. Gateman1997 05:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Shermanalexie.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Shermanalexie.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok  ☠  16:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

lighthouse image
Hi Draugen, I've just come across the Image:Lighthouse stub.jpg and wondered which lighthouse it is. When I looked up the image page, however, I've seen that the source file for the lighthouse (Image:Cape hatteras lighthouse img 0529.jpg) seems to be deleted, the uploader doesn't exist. So right now the stub image is an unsourced image... Do you remember where the image is from? Thanks, Ibn Battuta 16:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The Electras
I have added a "" template to the article The Electras, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Joseph Mailman.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joseph Mailman.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Michael_Dupille.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Michael_Dupille.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dixyleeray.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dixyleeray.gif. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tacoma Club

A tag has been placed on Tacoma Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

.256 Winchester Magnum

The .256 Winchester Magnum is a firearms cartridge developed by Winchester, and was produced by necking-down a .357 Magnum cartridge to .257 diameter. It was designed for shooting small game and varmints.

History
Introduced in 1960, Winchester offered ammo and reloading components into the early 1990s. The cartridge was first chambered in the Ruger Hawkeye single shot pistol. The next year (1962) Marlin chambered their Model 62 Levermatic rifle for the new Winchester cartridge. These were the two principal firearms chambered for the .256 Win. Mag. It is now obsolete and only offered as a chambering by custom manufacturers of single-shot firearm barrels such as Match Grade Machine and Bullberry. Previously, the Thompson Center Custom Shop had produced some, before closing its doors in 2010.

Ballistics
From an 8.5 inch pistol barrel the 60 grain .256 Winchester factory load was advertised as having a MV of 2350 fps and ME of 735 ft. lbs. This was 250 fps faster and nearly twice as powerful as the .22 Remington Jet, a varmint cartridge for revolvers that was also based on a necked-down .357 Magnum case.

According to data from the fifth edition of the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, handloaders with a .256 rifle can approximately duplicate the Winchester factory load using the Hornady 60 grain Flat Point bullet in front of 15.5 grains of H4227 powder for a MV of 2700 fps. The trajectory of that load looks like this: +2.3 inches at 50 yards, +4.4 inches at 100 yards, 0 at 200 yards, and -26.2 inches at 300 yards.

Winchester offered factory loaded .256 Magnum ammunition (and brass to reloaders) into the beginning of the 1990s. Winchester .256 factory loads used a 60 grain Open Point Expanding bullet at a MV of 2760 fps and ME of 1015 ft. lbs. from a 24-inch rifle barrel. That is about 500 fps faster than Winchester factory loads for the old .25-20 cartridge. At 200 yards the velocity was 1542 fps and the remaining energy was 317 ft. lbs.

Firearms
The .256 Winchester Magnum was chambered in a very small selection of firearms, and never achieved great commercial success. Its firearms included:

 * Marlin Model 62 Levermatic lever action
 * Universal Firearms M1 carbine variant
 * Ruger Hawkeye single-shot pistol
 * Thompson Center Contender single-shot pistol barrel chambering

The 256 Winchester Magnum is also chambered occasionally in custom-built revolvers. Past candidates for this caliber conversion have included Ruger Old Model and New Model Blackhawks, and Smith & Wesson K-frames (Models 10, 14, 15, and 19). Colt produced one Python in this caliber as a prototype and retains it in their museum.

Mantako
Looks like a vanity article; Googling for mantako "Joe Stull" and mantako forum returns nothing. -- ChrisO 17:39, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

check mantako.com it's there -- author
 * it is, and it's just another web forum... (Wikipedia is not a web directory, although it may contain articles on sites of particular notability). --Ianb 20:16, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just another forum, and a substub. Geogre 21:23, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

so basically if it were a hugely popular forum it would be alright.
 * Popular or in some other way notable, yeah. What's special about mantako.com? Write it up in the article, and convince us. Otherwise, delete. --jpgordon {gab} 02:57, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Elizabeth Haddon

Elizabeth Estaugh, née Haddon (May 25, 1680 – March 30, 1762) was an American pioneer. She was the founder of Haddon Township and Haddonfield, New Jersey.

Early life
Elizabeth Haddon was born in Southwark, London, England, May 25, 1680. She was the third child of John Haddon, a blacksmith, and Elizabeth, née Clarke. Her father was a Quaker who faced religious persecution and was convinced by William Penn to move abroad. In 1702, he bought a 500-acre (2 km2) tract of land in Gloucester County in the English colony of West Jersey. However, he was appointed as an officer of the Pennsylvania Land Company and the London Lead Company, so he did not leave England.

Career
Haddon, a single woman, set sail from Southwark to the New World in 1701 without her family at the age of twenty or twenty-one. Her father had a house built for her at Cooper's Creek, Newtown Township. With the help of a widowed friend and two manservants, she developed the Haddonfield plantation.

She had met John Estaugh (1676–1742), a Quaker minister, at Bermondsey years before. Their courtship was described, fancifully, by Lydia Maria Child in ''The Youthful Emigrant. A True Story of the Early Settlement of New Jersey, first published on May 21, 1845, in the New-York Daily Tribune. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow drew on Child's account in writing Elizabeth, a poem in the third volume of his Tales of a Wayside Inn''. They were married on the banks of the Cooper's Creek on December 1, 1702.

At first, the couple were engaged in establishing themselves and run the land owned by Elizabeth’s father. This would, however, change as time passed on. Haddon and John had no children, but they brought her sister's son, Ebenezer Hopkins, to America from Southwark when he was about five, and raised him as their son and heir. Ebenezer was the son of Benjamin and Sarah (Haddon) Hopkins, and the grandson of William and Katheryn Hopkins. Ebenezer was the progenitor of the Hopkins family of Haddonfield, New Jersey.

In 1713, John and Elizabeth built a three-story brick mansion called New Haddonfield Plantation, where Haddon managed the family property and her husband tended to his missionary journeys; the Brew House she built in 1713 still stands in the backyard. Although the first recorded commercial female brewer in the Colonies was Mary Lisle, who inherited her father's Philadelphia brewpub in 1734, there is reason to believe that across the river in South Jersey, Haddon was running a more-than-average homebrew operation.

She and her husband were active in the Quaker community. She was very close with Elizabeth Woolman, the sister of John Woolman. Elizabeth died at her Haddonfield home at the age of 82 on March 30, 1762. She was buried in an unmarked grave in the Burial Ground of the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
