Welcome!
Hello, Metal Lord/Old, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a
Wikipedian! Please
sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out
Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
Now then, on to your questions. Here's how you upload an image. First, look on the left side of your screen. Under the "toolbox" section, there should be a link that says, "Upload file." You'll want to click on that, then scroll down, select the "browse" button, and find the image on your hard drive that you want to upload. (If the image, is not on your hard drive, then go to the website where it is located, then download it onto your computer). In the summary section, type in a description of the image. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE SOURCE OF THE PIC!!!. Then comes the tricky part, finding an appropiate tag. If you're not sure if the image should be used on Wikipedia, don't upload. Album covers are fine, but I just want you to remember that in the future. Click the tab next to liscensing that says "None selected" and pick out an appropriate tag. Then click the upload file button (the one at the bottom of the screen), et voila! You've just uploaded an image onto Wikipedia!
Next, you need to go to the article you want the image to go and place it there. Let's say for example, I wanted to place the example image on an article. I would click the embedded image icon, type in the name of the file, then use brackets to set up preferences for the picture. And what I mean by that is the size, caption, and if it should be in a thumbnail. You may put these in any order you wish, except for the caption, which must go last. The link should look like some variation of this when you're done [[File:Bad Title Example.png|200px|left|thumb|This is an example image.]]
The image will show up on the page like this:
As for the NASCAR WikiProject, this is much simpler. Go to Wikipedia:WikiProject NASCAR, go to the section where the members are listed, click the "edit" button, add your name and you're done! Your next step is to look around and improve articles where you see fit. And don't be afraid to ask questions! We have a great group of people over thre who are always happy to help!
Thank you for your interest. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Regards, -- D -Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 21:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The Monolith Deathcult. Metal Maiden 22:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
OK. Here is the deletion log for the article that explains why it was deleted. [1] Maybe it wasn't notable enough. You can try Wikipedia:Deletion Review and say why you think the article should be kept. -- D -Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 22:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I said why should be kept. But do you think it should kept? Metal Maiden 22:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Without seeing the article myself, I honestly can't tell. -- D -Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 23:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
It takes a little time, don't worry. -- D -Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 15:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't watch that page, so I don't know what to do there. Try looking for someone who seems to comment on that page alot and see what happened. If I could help you, I would. -- D -Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 19:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Do you know anyone who does? by the way what does DRV mean? -- Metal Maiden 19:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the help -- Metal Maiden 20:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I hesitate to say "never" about anything. Is the band still together and making music? Maybe they'll recieve more recognition, and meet our notability criteria in the future. - GTBacchus( talk) 20:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I found the source you were referring to, as I'll add the dates back to the article with said source. In the future, please link to the source in your edit summary. Thanks. Nufy8 19:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NASCAR needs your help! We are in the process of forming our proposed standards which, when complete, will hopefully become a Wikipedia guideline. The guidelines will help editors understand Wikipedia consensus about things like which NASCAR-related articles meet notability standards. Please stop by and let us know what you think!

Dear WikiProject Hard Rock members,
This is a notice about the proposed expansion of the WikiProject, so the scope covers
rock music in general, changing it from "WikiProject Hard Rock" to "Wikiproject Rock music". Like I pointed out to the creator,
DavidJJJ, what falls under the scope of "hard rock" may come into dispute, and there is no existing WikiProject for rock in general, only
WikiProject Alternative music and
WikiProject Punk music come somewhat close. This expansion will hopefully in theory be a guide/directory, and bring much needed attention to articles of this genre. DavidJJJ has already given kudos to the idea, and it is encouraged that you express your thoughts and concerns on the
WikiProject's talk page before anything goes forward. We hope start the transition soon. Until then, please, make your voice heard! Cheers. --

Well, after nearly no response, the expansion of WikiProject Hard Rock has gone ahead. We are now officially known as
WikiProject Rock music! We are still in dire need of your participation, to add articles that fall within the scope of
rock music, to invite users to join the WikiProject, and to get this show on the road. Be sure to drop by and see the new changes. Feel free to add {{
User Wikiproject Rock music}} to your userpage.
I hope to see you around eh? Cheers. --
