Hello Aion, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and manual of style pages are also useful. Feel free to experiment at the Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you have any questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Angela
Thanks for the welcome! -Aion
I'm wondering whether my father-in-law is noteworthy enough to add an article:
Eugene "Gene" Accas served in executive capacities for major entertainment and advertising companies including NBC, ABC, Grey Global Group and Leo Burnett, where he retired as head of the international agency’s New York City office in 1982.
He was the author of three books, including 1998's The Best in Television; 50 Years of the Emmys, and was a guest on 60 Minutes as spokesperson for the advertising industry. His non-profit and educational endeavors included guest lecture series at Columbia University, New York University and Syracuse University and leadership positions for the television conferences of the Aspen Institute and the Television Conference Foundation.
Gene was born in New York City, New York on October 6, 1922 and died on September 30, 2008 in Los Angeles, California

Great photos! With those, Wikipedia visitors won't have to stare at the words of those articles and try to squeeze an imagined picture in their brains -- which may leads to misleading result. :-)
Were you the professional photographer of Kauai 1.jpg? Aerial photos are excellent for WP geographical articles.
Welcome again (Yep, rare good photographers deserve a welcome twice).

Hi, Aion. It looks like you added St. Barbara to the List of saints article, but indicated that none of the churches we have listed consider her a saint? Was this a typo? If no one ranks her among the saints, she should be removed from that page, shouldn't she? Wesley 16:37 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I did a tiny bit more research; Google turned up http://www.saintbarbara.org/about/frp_stbarb.html; between that and the link at the bottom to their archbishop's comments, it seems clear that the Greek Orthodox honor her as a saint; I found mention of her as a saint on some Coptic web sites as well, so I'm going to check the Greek and Ethiopian columns for her. She does have a great story! Wesley 16:20 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Gray Whale Ranch very detailed. :-) You can also name the external links (maybe a short desc if the title is unclear as is), so the reader don't have to go to all sites. --Menchi 21:55 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

editHi. I added a note to Image:Manila646 1899.jpg and added the image to the Philippine-American War article. Nice images, thanks for uploading them! -- Infrogmation 18:33, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Would you be interested in attending an L.A.-area Wiki meetup?
editIt appears as though L.A. has never had a Wiki meetup. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If so, checkout User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup

Hi, Aion. I'm not sure if you are still active in Wikipedia. I noticed that the copyright of this image is held by John T. Alfors, but you listed it as GFDL. Are you John Alfors? Alternatively, did you get permission from Mr. Alfors to release his photo via GFDL?
Please let me know on my Talk page. Thanks! -- hike395 04:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, Aion! I just uploaded the photo to Commons (Commons:Mt Shasta from CA89.jpg). If you have Lake Tahoe images, feel free to upload them yourself and add them to Commons:Lake Tahoe. Thanks again! -- hike395 06:37, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Jimbo Wales to Attend San Diego Meetup on October 18 2005
editHello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:25, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know that I recently copied the above image that you uploaded to Wikipedia over to WikiMedia Commons, the Wikimedia central media repository for all free media. The image had been tagged with the {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} template. Your image is now available to all Wikimedia projects at the following location: Commons:File:1stNebraska 1899 alt.jpg. The original version of the image uploaded to Wikipedia has been tagged with WP:CSD#I8. During the move I changed the name of the image because of another file on commons with the same name. Cheers! --Captain-tucker (talk) 02:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

File:Anna's Hummingbird3.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Anna's Hummingbird3.JPG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Anna's Hummingbird3.JPG]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
