Wikipedia talk:FAQ/Contributing

message: My biggest question is how come articles that I know have been around for years suddenly change to not having any connection to their past submissions. Does this have anything to do with movement to larger computers or does it happen because of the decisions of regulators?  Is it that some people who think they know it all go out and delete an existing article just so they can restart it all themselves, and have the first link accredited to them?  I know that the "previous versions" buttons go up to 500, but I can't access what I know to have been there.  What effect would this have on people trying to use Wikipedia as a source of information? I can't find any "FAQ" posting or answer to this question - that's why I posted it here. --Sobolewski 01:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't quite understand what you're asking, but maybe you should ask your question at the Help desk instead, because I don't think this particular page is intended for asking questions. –Tifego(t) 00:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This FAQ clearly says "The text and images of Wikipedia are covered by the GNU Free Documentation License. Unless an item is covered by the same or a similar license, or is in the public domain, it cannot be used on Wikipedia. So you have to ask the copyright holder of the material to license it under GFDL." 
Presumably basically that means it is fair to assume any image submitted to WP by its creator is under GFDL? --BozMo talk 12:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

:Is there something Wikipedia doesn't tell me about?
:Of course! Most prominently, once you start an account and begin editing Wikipedia, your account and whatever personal information you share on it, cannot be removed.

message: Why is this page wider than the other FAQ pages?  I don't see what is causing it, but I have to scroll horizontally to read the page.  --☑ SamuelWantman 09:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Good morning,
I am a new account, and this is my first attempt to communicate with Wikipedia.
As a retired marine biologist, I have a longstanding passion; how humans can learn from how animals communicate.
In the interests of promoting learning, specifically about our biosphere, please consider the following article request:
Learning from bees.
This request relates to the book, "Bee Time: Lessons From the Hive" by Mark L. Winston, Harvard University Press.
There does not appear to be any such articles currently on Wikipedia. However, there are several related articles on Google.
Any other help or guidelines you could offer me to improve my communications with Wikipedia will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kim Mann

message: Jahlman is a village in district Lahoul Spitti about 130  km from Manali. This is the largest Kothi in Lahoul Spitti comprising of about 25 small villages. This village is famous for its School: Govt High School Jahlman. This school produced many bright students in 60's; 70's; 80's. The reputation of School was so good that the topper of the school was automatically topper of the District. The people would say that whoever topped the school would one day become an IAS/IPS/Doctor/Engineer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogzi007 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
