User talk:72.197.2.40

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I reverted your question on Pac-Man because articles aren't the place to ask questions, but in answer, you make images appear by uploading them to Wikipedia's server - BUT they must be licensed for use before you can do so. Random pictures you find on Google are most likely not licensed for use here. You might find this page useful as a tutorial. Fabricationary 05:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My answer to your question...

... is on Talk:Pac-Man. --EngineerScotty 05:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Sandbox

Your recent edit to Sandbox was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 05:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The warning is valid and will remain. You edited the article Sandbox not the Wikipedia:Sandbox - it says quite clearly:

*** Attention NEW USERS: ***
This is NOT the Wikipedia sandbox
This is an article about sandboxes.
** DO NOT practice here. **
If you want to practice, click on
Wikipedia:Sandbox at the top.
Thanks.

[edit] Asteriod

It was I that reverted your asteriods edit not Tawketbot. Your edit was inappropriate as the article alreacdy has

"Asteroids" redirects here. This article is about the astronomical bodies. For the arcade game, see Asteroids (game).

Please do not add it again - Glen TC (Stollery) 06:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey matey. Don't misunderstand ALL edits are welcome on wikipedia, that's the entire point (and that's also the reason we won't protect articles like Sandbox unless we totally have to. However, if your edits are being reverted all the time then you are doing something wrong. Number one, why don't you get an account? It's free, NO personal info is required and your edits are ten times likely to remain (most admins only look really hard at anon IP edits). Will you try that? - Glen TC (Stollery) 06:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
PS: can you please add to the bottom of pages when replying not the top? Thanks

[edit] Regarding edits made during June 10, 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. (ESkog)(Talk) 07:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I was referring to the edit where you tagged Wikipedia:Speedy deletions for deletion. Don't do that. (ESkog)(Talk) 07:42, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Howdy! I've reverted the change you made to AfD. I understand what you were trying to do, but I'm not sure you picked quite the right way to do it. I suggest perhaps screenshotting a real AfD notice, customizing the graphic appropriately, then bringing it to AfD:Talk first. AfD is one of the main thoroughfares of Wikipedia administration, and most changes to it are discussed first. Using a properly artistic image might show the example properly without all the messy categorization and transclusion items that occurred when you subst'd the actual AfD message. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 07:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitely get an account!

Remember you don't need to give your email, your real name, nothing! You could call yourself Bongo the turtle if you want, and there's no way anyone could identify you. If you decide to close that account, you can, or just open a new one! Its even more anonymous as people can trace you from your IP as you are now -- trust me :) - Glen Stollery 15:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
