Welcome!

Hi Markruffolo, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.

Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.

How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.

Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.

Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.

Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.

Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.

Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

PDF images

Hi, Markruffolo! I have noticed you uploaded some PDF files and then converted them into JPG:

These images are now listed for deletion, as their format is not suitable for images. For discussion about it, please visit Images for deletion. Best regards and keep the good work - Jmartinezot 15:02, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Mark - the revised images referenced above keep drawing flak from people who think that they are not appropriate because they reveal too much information, and might be used to abuse your ex or harass her. I am redacting same to remove personal names, docket numbers, order numbers and the dates, and I wanted you to know that and also to know how you want to list the license granted to these images. (public, etc...) I am also interested in how the above deletion issue resolved itself, as these images are featured prominently on the page on divorce. TX and best, --Fish-man 17:55, 12 September 2005 (UTC)--[reply]

Minor Edits

The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth relooking at for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely, so any "real" change, even if it is a single word, is a major edit. from:Wikipedia:Minor_edit -Casito 07:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

These documents are a matter of public record as all divorce documents.

Bible Errata

You added dozens of references to http://www.bible-researcher.com Why? I fail to see their relevance. I'm reverting. Regards, ClemMcGann 09:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Fathers 4 justice logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fathers 4 justice logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. PxMa 00:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
