Welcome![edit]

Hello Tpills, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

I see you have put in a lot of work on the article Darryl Neudorf, which looks pretty good. If I may offer one small tip - Wikipedia discourages direct linking to disambiguation pages (see WP:DPL. Internal "wikilinks" should go directly to the intended article. In the case of Superconductor, it is generally better to link to the nonexistent article Superconductor (band) than to the disambiguation page. The red link alerts editors that an article to the band needs to be written and adds it to a list of requested articles. When the article does get written, the wikilink will go directly there, rather than to the disambiguation page. Please feel free to respond or ask any questions on my talk page.--Kubigula (talk) 04:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:MillerBlock 2000.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:MillerBlock 2000.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

I think the POV is something easily fixed; if you want, I can go through the article and make any necessary changes as far as that goes. I'm glad you read WP:BLP; it shows that you definitely are willing to work with other editors to the article, of which I'm glad (I'm sure you can imagine the number of pages created as promotional articles). You may also want to read WP:COI though; I think that's a more relevant issue right now, which is why I tagged the article with {{primarysources}}. Although I have no doubts that the information in the article is all true, it needs to be verifiable through third-party reliable sources. For example, the quote should probably be removed if it didn't appear in a third-party source like an interview or article about him. Has he done, say, any interviews that have been published (online or in print) that could be used to reference the article? Or maybe a newspaper/magazine article about him? Any of those would be really helpful. ShadowHalo 21:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
