[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Bike3.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Bike3jpg.JPG. The copy called Image:Bike3jpg.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 02:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

[edit]

Greetings Mr Raines:

Welcome, and thanks for your contribution to wikipedia and to the art of electric vehicle construction.

I rewrote your addition to electric vehicle conversion in order to prevent its reversion by others. The original text might be considered by many to be too self-promoting in tone to fit the generaly recognized Wikipedia style. I moved the link to your site to the external links section, as I found your web page suitable for inclusion there.

I have (mostly) prepared a wikibook on electric vehicle conversion. Perhaps you would be interested in creating a similar book on constructing an electric motorcycle? I would be glad to provide any assistance you would need in this effort.

"Boilerplate" welcome is below.

Best wishes, Leonard G. 04:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that you've added several links to your personal website. Such edits are considered a "conflict of interest" - WP:COI and are strongly discouraged. Adding the same url (especially in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish it from references WP:CITE as opposed to external links WP:EL) is often viewed as a form of spam (WP:SPAM), even when editors add it with good intentions. Please keep in mind, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion or a directory of external links - see WP:NOT. You are invited to add constructively to articles and it is clear that you are very knowledgeable in your field. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
