You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! What constitutes a reliable sourcePlease note that your edit to Jes Brieden has again been reverted as the sources you continue to add do not meet Wikipedia's reliable sourcing criteria for personal statistics in biography articles. Tertiary compendia-type websites such as IMDb, Discogs, NNDB and the like include user-generated content and therefore cannot be used to support biographical statistics. You will need to find a source that has a reputation for fact checking (e.g. a newspaper or magazine story/interview) or a website controlled by the subject themselves in order for the date to be added.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC) Thanks for the advice; I've been searching high and low for more sources regarding Jes Brieden's birthdate but have had no success in doing so. The article seems incomplete without a birthdate, so I'll try my best next time I search for other sources. CycloneYoris (talk) 20:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Local hurricane timeHi. FYI, Bill formed on June 16. I know its weird because there are different time zones, but here in Wikipedia we always use UTC time. This is just to keep in mind in the future for current storms. Thanks. :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:47, 16 June 2015 (UTC) Hi. I always seem to get so confused with time zones, sorry about that. :) CycloneYoris (talk) 17:20, 16 June 2015 (UTC) October 2015
Hi, ![]() A tag has been placed on File:Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots March 2015.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
