RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.

Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.

Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.

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

Hey hey, thanks a bunch for your welcome and help! -Archagon 23:22, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

hi! i'm new also. but i'm also interested in the question you posted about using Amazon.com images. There is this discussion: Wikipedia:Images from Amazon.com which seems to conclude that it is ok, as long as a list is kept in order to keep track of them all in case anyone eventually gets mad at Wikipedia. However, since it doesn't look like anyone is adding to the list, I'm nervous about diving in myself. But it's so hard to get a real idea of how many people are actually working on these projects... maybe it hasn't caught on because no one's paying attention? *hesitant shrug* Schwael 09:44, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Strawberry fields

Did you get any answer about the legality of the strawberry fields sample?

Thanks for uploading Image:Buffalo Soldier.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
