User talk:Quercusrobur

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Question: Are you Graham Burnet or do you have permission from this person to be placing their text under terms of the GNU FDL? Either way, copyright info must go in the edit summary of articels on not on the page itself. Cheers! --maveric149

Yup - vandals have tried many times to junk Wikipedia but there are about 200 of us and usually only one or two of them. We've won every battle so far. I happen to be one of the 40 or so administrators around here who watch for vandalism/copyright violations along with performing site maintenance. Please experiment away - but for pure experimentation it might be best to play around in wikipedia:sandbox. You can do pretty much anything in there without having to bother with editorial comments from other users (we all are pretty serious about creating a solid encyclopedia here). Power to the wiki!. --mav

Cool trick: Type ~~~ or ~~~~ and hit save.

The text in Apple propagation has been edited and wikified so we should stick with that content. What do you think would be the best title for the article? "Propagating apples and other fruit trees" sounds like the name of a how-to and not an encyclopedia article (we also don't like plurals around here: see wikipedia:naming conventions). How about Fruit tree propagation? (you can answer here -- talk page back and forth isn't always the best). --mav

Fine by me Quercusrobur

PS Can I add graphics? (there are some diagrams that go with the original text- I've also got an article on fruit tree pruning which is very diagram heavy)

Hi, Quercusrobur, welcome on board!

Yes, you can add graphics too (seeWikipedia:Copyrights - Wiki rules apply to these too - and read also Wikipedia:Image use policy and related articles). You can use the link "Upload" (somewhere in the page, as before).

BTW, thank you for your contributions :-) Gianfranco

Side note: Our copyright licence, the GNU FDL, only appies to text -- so since we are not for profit and are providing an educational use, you can pretty much upload images and use them in articles without fear of violating copyrights (see fair use guidelines). --mav
