User talk:SleepyElephant

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bill Thomas (photographer) may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Welcome!

Hello, SleepyElephant, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Bill Thomas[edit]

What I can suggest to you is, compile some information about this artist, such as:

Media appearances or citations
Exhibits (dates, venues and reviews)
Biographical information (does he have a "profile" in some website?)

(For each one, get the url. these are your "sources".)

Watch out for copy/pasting info, though. Also, since his work is copyrighted, it's hard to upload photos of his work to Wikipedia unless we get permission.

Once you compiled all this information, submit it to Wikipedia, all in one go. It doesn't even have to be formatted or written well. Don't worry. A wikipedian will fix the article free-of-charge.

There. I hope it doesn't sound complicated. Contact me if you need help. -- Perfecto 05:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Baseballs.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
