Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

Hi, Michael. I've noticed that you've added dozens of links or citations from Wikipedia articles related to the Klamath Mountains to your own web site [1]. There are two issues you should be aware of:
Thanks! hike395 ( talk) 02:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
However, feel that the links I have added are one means to a valuable end to understand northwest California. As far as references I have used, I will remove my websites and cite other sources when I can, Thanks, Michael E. Kauffmann ( talk) 03:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Michael.. do you have a photograph of the Marble Mountain Wilderness you would be willing to upload? I can't find any on the web with a free license. Thanks! — hike395 ( talk) 14:40, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello and thank you for your help here on Wikipedia. There are some really kind, environment-loving folks here such as yourself, so please feel at home. Ask any questions you might have too, you don't even have to raise your hand first;).
I have ordered from my library your cited ref: Sawyer, Northwest California and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.
It really helps to have a "sponsor" or mentor for Wikipedia for at least the first six months, depending on how fast you can learn the ins and outs.
Again, welcome and happy editing!
Oh, and to answer your question above, all media files are kept on a separate server called Wikimedia Commons. Here is the link to that Welcome page that will give the basic details for uploading graphics.

A tag has been placed on Arcata and Eureka Community Recycling Centers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.

I have nominated Arcata and Eureka Community Recycling Centers, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arcata and Eureka Community Recycling Centers. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Ged UK 20:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Mr. K !
Just a quick note-don't forget to change the footnote in the sentence when you change the fact, say an elevation number. That way the footnote is still accurate. As of now the inline citation on Mount Linn (Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness) does not match and I don't know where your el number is from, so I can't fix it. I'll be happy to update the footnote for you if you let me know what the source is.
Hope you are doing well. Cheers, Marcia Wright ( talk) 13:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
P.S. And kudos for your piece on Arcata Recycling Center !! I've always wondered exactly WHAT happens to the items I put in the blue bin. Don't let all the Wikpedia crap get you upset-hell, there is an article on the hamburger for crying out loud!!! The secret to Wikipedia is to FOOTNOTE all facts stated-the more academic the source material, the better. Please feel free to ask me for any help or questions you might have and I'll try to assist you in any way I can. Marcia Wright ( talk) 13:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The article The Klamath Knot has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{
dated prod}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
