[edit] helpme

Can someone explain what I need to do to get an image copyrighted through the GNU Free Licensing? Do I have to upload it to them or something, or do I simply copy their agreement onto my page ?? I did attempt to read their documentation and still didn't understand what I need to do -- sorry. Dvori 18:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Check out Help:Image_page#Copyright_status for the answers to your question i believe. -- ∞Wirelain 18:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anser to your question

I think you can post copyrighted image under fair use. I don't think you can actually post it under GNU license.

Fufu Fang 18:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Ignore that response, fair use only applies to specific situations you certainly cannot upload just any image under fair use provisions. In answer to your question if you own the image i.e. you took the photo then under most circumstances you also own the copyright, if you wish to license it under the GFDL just select the GFDL option when uploading the image. If someone else owns the copyright on the image, then you can't simply convert the copyright they have to explicitly agree to it. --pgk(talk) 18:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help Me listed on your page

How do I add my page content to categories (i.e. I need to add the person to the category of Composers) If I create headings and subheadings, does Wikipedia automatically create the outline with target links? Thanks! Dvori 23:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

In order to add a page to a category, you need to use this form of notation: [[Category:]], where the portion after the category: part is the name of the category you wish to enter the page into. Basically, when I categorize pages, I go to the page of the category, copy the title from the top of the page, and paste it in between the brackets (the and ). I hope this answers your question. I am taking the helpme off your page, and if you need any more help, feel free to contact me. --No1lakersfan 23:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

When I put composer D. S. Crafts into the category of composers, Wikipedia put him in the "D" section instead of the "C" section. Should I change the name of the article to Daniel Steven Crafts? If so, how do I do that ??

In order to get the person in the category with their last name, it should look like this:
((Category:name of cat|Last name, First name)) (replace (()) with [[]] in brackets) You do not need to rename the page, but if you ever wish to, click on the Move button at the top of the page and type the new name of the page. --No1lakersfan 00:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a quick note about lists

If you go and look at Daniel Steven Crafts now, you will see that I changed the lists just a bit. I never have used lists this deep, so I had to do some figuring to get them to look the way they do. To figure it out, I used the Help:List page.

To get the numbered lists to move over under the bulleted list, I used "*#" and then the list items. If you edit the page, you will see those there now. Another thing I used here and there is "*:". With a list like this, it gets to be a bit odd, but it does look better than before. You are welcome to ask me questions at my user talk page. --Matthew 04:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
