[edit] Uploading Images

Hi! From your question on the help desk: The error message is a bit cryptic, but my first guess is to check that the file you are trying to upload does not have any dots in the filename, except for one before the file extension (eg .jpg if it's a JPEG file). Make sure that this extension is correct, as well. You may need to turn off "hide file extensions" if you are using Windows (any folder view -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> uncheck "hide extensions of known files"). Does that help? If not, drop me a message on my talk page, or ask again on the Help desk. — QuantumEleven 12:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for the help you gave me to do with uploading images. It has successfully worked! But I can't put it into the article named Lewis Hamilton. I can't work out why. I've tried on the edit page and it just doesn't work. Davnel03 15:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, looking at Lewis Hamilton, it seems to have worked! For future reference, Wikipedia:Picture tutorial may be of help, although it primarily covers images inserted into the 'body' of an article (in the article you were working on, you were inserting an image into a so-called "Infobox", which works a little differently). I hope that's solved your problem, but feel free to drop me a line if there is anything else I can help you with. Welcome to Wikipedia! :) — QuantumEleven 23:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have been blocked; no one has told me why or how?!

Your block log is empty. That means your likely suffering the ill effects of a IP address block. (so it's not actually targeted at you personally) You might want to use the unblock template. ---J.S (T/C) 18:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos on 1994 San Marino Grand Prix

Thank you for your contribution to the above article, unfortuantly I've had to remove the photos as they are copyrighted to the websites you have taken them from. I suggest reading Wikipedia:Uploading images to ensure you are aware of what's allowed and what isn't on Wikipedia with regard to photos. As a guide "Please note that most images you might find on the Internet are copyrighted and not appropriate for uploading to Wikipedia. If you did not create the image or are unable or unwilling to verify its copyright status, do not upload the image." Thanks, Alexj2002 19:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Let's take Image:Simtek S941.jpg as an example. A little bit of searching showed that the image was taken from http://www.43r.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3845 - when uploading an image always use the exact page address as a source and not just 43r.com. Nowhere on that page does it state the image is licenced under the GFDL. As images are automatically under copyright unless otherwise stated then the lack of a notice advising that the images are licenced under GFDL/Creative Commons etc. means that the image is copyrighted and we can't use it. Furthermore at the bottom of the page there is a confirmation that the page is under copyright "© 43R.COM".
If you are able to prove otherwise that the image is licenced under GFDL (if you got permission by email or similar) please state so. For reference the guideline on using images on Wikipedia are below.
Either
   * You own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself).
or
   * You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed the image under a free license.
or
   * You can prove that the image is in the public domain.
or
   * You believe, and state, a fair use rationale for the specific use of the image that you intend.
I don't believe you can claim any of those but would be happy to discuss further if you believe you can. Additionally you stated "Can you please put the images back on as soon as possible - they are on the checklist for images needed to be found on Wikipedia Formula One portal." They are because I added them there. The reason I added them was not because I couldn't find any images (there were plenty on a Google Image Search) but because I could not find any freely licenced images. I look forward to hearing from you. Alexj2002 19:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Whilst I was typing that, an administrator has decided to delete Image:Simtek S941.jpg because it was a copyright violation. Alexj2002 19:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Because it was incorrectly formatted. Deizio talk 19:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting articles

I can't. Only admins can delete articles and i'm not an admin. TJ Spyke 22:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

As for TNA articles, I agree. I suggested this at WP:PW, but no one else seemed to care. If you want to bring it up again there, I will support you. TJ Spyke 22:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Montreal Screwjob

Please read WP:WIAFA and WP:WIAGA. Montreal Screwjob could not possibly reach either plateau, as it contains zero sources, and it has been tagged as unreferenced for five months. -- Kicking222 00:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
