Welcome[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. You may also want to check out Wikipedia:Merge, for information about merging, renaming and moving pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log; if you made any edits before getting an account, you may wish to assign those to your username.
By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments.
Finally, here are some open tasks:

Image copyright tags[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Kelis3inline 022304.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?
For instance, if you own the image, you can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL. Or, should you wish to claim fair use, use the {{fairuse}} tag. There are, of course, other tags as well.
Also, when you tag the page, please include a source (such as a URL of a website), so that we can verify its copyright status.
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. Thank you and enjoy the Wikipedia! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. 01:58, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for the contributions! We're always happy to have new Wikipedians with a serious interest in improving articles! As you can see, we're also very keen on maintaining a neutral point of view (or NPOV) in all articles. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and have been reverted. There's a great article about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. We thank you for your interest in helping Wikipedia to be well-rounded in its presentation of controversial subjects, and look forward to being able to fully incorporate your contributions!

Genres[edit]
Hi, please do not add so many genres to musician and album infoboxes. Stick to general genres that represent at least the majority of an artist's work. For example, the only genre that should be mentioned for Amerie is R&B. Just because an artist has experimented with certain genres in certain songs, does not make the artist that genre. The majority of people would not consider Amerie or Beyoncé to be funk musicians. Also, urban contemporary is a radio format, not a genre. It should not be mentioned in any infoboxes. Thanks. --musicpvm 00:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
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.
