User talk:Cabreet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Cabreet! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 10:05, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- That's how I started out. I would hit Random Article and make minor edits to them, mainly marking short articles as stubs. Keep it up, and you'll be an expert in no time. Ryan 01:17, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Uh-oh... that Garbage Plate image...
Image:~haut-cuisine in-rochester-n-y is-the-garbage plate.jpg
It's a nice image, but I don't see any GFDL license on it. I'm sorry, but it can't be kept unless you got it from a GFDL-licensed source, or took it yourself and agree to GFDL-license it. Either way, you have to say so in the image description. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree completely that this image looks better than the old one. Tasty, in fact. Unfortunately, if you got it from a website, the chances are it will turn out that it can't be used by Wikipedia, which has recently gotten very scrupulous about not permitting images under "fair use;" they must be properly licensed. I'm not familiar with Snapsoid, but if you could find the person who posted it and get them to agree to license it under the GFDL. I've managed to do this maybe once in four tries; if the person doesn't already know what the GFDL is, they won't usually agree. Any chance you can take a picture yourself?

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Cabreet.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Cabreet.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 23:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:1151mcgrory.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1151mcgrory.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 21:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
