Hi vom53. It's nice to see you've joined us on the wiki, but there's a few things we should tell you before you get into wiki editing in a big way.

Firstly, regarding images, I've already sent this to you in a PM, but I'll put it here too since it's related to the wiki:

I've had to delete most of the images you uploaded to the wiki because I couldn't find definite proof that permission had been given by the copyright holders. We have a legal obligation to ensure that all material on the wiki is correctly attributed and has the correct licence and permissions. We can work with you to upload and put attributions on all images that you do have permission to use, but until we get that sorted out, could you please not upload any more images? It's just a temporary measure to make sure we stay on the correct side of the law.

Also, regarding translations of the wiki: We don't actually put translated pages on this wiki. Instead, we have separate wikis for each language that people would like to translate. If you'd like to help with a Spanish translation, that would be fantastic! You can learn about the process at Guidance for Linguistic Scribes.

If you're going to be editing the English version too, please also read Guidance for Scribes. It describes various important pieces of information you'll need to know, including some information about how to correctly attribute images.

And just a final note: Before adding any material to a wiki page, please make sure it's accurate. We have a lot of users who rely on the wiki for information, so we do need to keep fairly strict control over the quality of edits. If you'd like to add something to a page but aren't sure if it's correct or appropriate, you're welcome to ask us! The best way to discuss a page is to click on the "Talk" button that's next to the edit button. The talk pages are specifically for discussing potential changes to wiki pages.
