User talk:DoctorW

Hello, DoctorW, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing! --Slgr@ndson (page - talk - changes) 19:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Second person

Hi! You've added "you" to the article Sigmund Freud. Good encyclopedia articles are never addressed to "you", and do not make statements about "you". It would be great if you would re-edit your edits to the article, else, someone might revert it back to the prior edit. Welcome and happy editing! zephyr2k 20:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Proper third person is not as simple in this case, but I agree that it is more appropriate for an encyclopedia article. I will try to find the other articles I saw that used "you" (which I took as a model) and will change them. -DoctorW 20:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I see. Well, thanks for your contributions! zephyr2k 22:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Mailmsg

Hi there, I see you tried to remove your 'confirm email' message. Sorry for the confusion, but the 'this page' in the instructions was actually a link to your monobook.css file. I've added the template for you, so the message should disappear when you purge your cache. Archer7 - talk 12:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Photo problems

Hi DoctorW, photos on the Simple English Wikipedia can only be sourced from Wikimedia Commons, unlike the English Wikipedia where users can upload images. The image you were having trouble with IndependenceHallAssemblyRoom.jpg, does not exist on the Commons. For this reason it will not display here. I did notice on the English Wikipedia photo info page it said the photo was a candidate to be moved to Commons. You have several choices, wait for the photo to be moved, read the instructions on the photo info page to move it yourself, get someone at Commons to move it for you, search Commons for a similar photo. Hope this info helps. --Peterdownunder (talk) 10:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I thought that was probably the reason, and did start to read the instructions you mentioned or a similar set. I'm afraid I'm not going to have time to do it myself. Thank you for the clarification. -DoctorW 06:25, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for this interesting article. I had not known about the superb house. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:13, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
