Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

  • Pick an image name.
When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
  • Source the image.
On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
  • Provide copyright and license information.
This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.
  • Describe the image.
To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. feydey 02:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please STOP

Please stop uploading multile copies of the same image under diferant names. All of the images that are duplicates of Image:Jlsiglertonyawards.jpg that are not in use in articles has been deleted. If this iameg is needed for an article, and meets the terms of image use, please reupload ONLY ONE copy of the image. Thanks! — xaosflux Talk 02:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jamie-Lynn Sigler

If I may ask, what are you trying to accomplish with this page? Your edits have been reverted by three different editors now as being unconstructive. Adding a tracker to the end of one of the external links doesn't help either.

Also, please don't remove AfD notices from pages. Thanks. Grandmasterka 02:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] STOP SPAMMING

PLEASE stop spamming in the Paris Hilton article. Lil Flip246 15:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grammy Awards of 2007

Thank you for your contributions to Grammy Awards of 2007. Some edits have been made to the article in order to bring it into harmony with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines shown there. All edits that do not follow these guidelines have been changed to match what our MoS recommends. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you added new information to Grammy Awards of 2007 — we thank you for doing so, but in order to satisfy our verifiability policy policy, we need to know from which sources you got that information. Just adding a link to the article next to your addition would be all right, or you could put it in the article's discussion page. If you need any help, feel free to ask me at my talk page. Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 11:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You are strongly encouraged to consider following the Wikipedia Manual of Style, since many of your edits are departing from the customary guidelines in ways that other editors report as being very disagreeable. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. Extraordinary Machine 13:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  1. Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.
  2. You're reverting genuinely useful edits, including typo and formatting fixes. Doing so repeatedly is considered vandalism, and may lead to you being blocked from editing for a period. Please stop. Extraordinary Machine 14:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
You've reverted on the Grammy Awards of 2007 article more than three times in a 24 hour period; as such, I've reported you at WP:AN/3RR. Extraordinary Machine 14:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.
The duration of the block is 8 hours. William M. Connolley 15:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] come take a look

hey alextwa --

i've recently made a policy proposal change for 3RR. i noticed you were blocked a short time ago. i'm not sure my suggested changes would have helped in your case, but the idea is spell things out more clearly so people aren't blocked unexpectedly and don't end up bitter about wikipedia.

here are the proposals

comments are welcome.
