Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Robert Tito 20:31, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Robert, please you have to include the copyright information in the images that you upload. Thanks. --Versuri 14:07, 16 February 2007 (CST)
- These files were all copied over from Wikipedia. Where do I put the copyright info? Robert Broughton 14:14, 16 February 2007 (CST)
- Is this OK? Robert Broughton 14:54, 16 February 2007 (CST)
- If I may..."This image may or may not be protected by copyright." So, no. --Larry Sanger 14:58, 16 February 2007 (CST)
- Yes, you may, and it's the response I sort of expected. Obviously, the language I used was copied from Wikipedia. My opinion for the moment is, this image is not copyrighted, and I will make an effort in the next couple of days to confirm this.
- Here's a messier case, however: Image:Elvis_30hits.jpg. On Wikipedia, it has a tag that says, "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers * solely to illustrate the audio recording in question, * on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." Well, maybe. If you asked my opinion, I would say that it's copyrighted, and I would remove this image from the Elvis article. (It's not especially pertinent to the story of Elvis' life anyway.) What's your informed opinion? Robert Broughton 21:17, 16 February 2007 (CST)
- How's this one? Image:Elvisstamp.jpg Robert Broughton 21:41, 16 February 2007 (CST)
