[edit] You'll have to change your username

Hi. I'm sorry but you can't have the name of a real celebrity as your username, please see the username policy. Please choose a different name and use the page Wikipedia:Changing username to change to it. Cbrown1023 20:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate page

Hi, JS121. In order to move a page, simply click on the tab that says "move" at the top of the page and follow the directions. Details are here. It's important not to "cut and paste" by creating a new article with duplicate content, because that removes the article's edit history, which we need for copyright purposes. I'll fix it this time. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hilary Duff articles

  1. Please don't insert excess numbers of fair use images (ones that are not under a free license). Per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible ... Do not use multiple images or media clips if one will serve the purpose adequately.", and "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." Also, the images had no fair use rationale on their description pages.
  2. Song titles go in double quotation marks, and in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names conjunctions, prepositions (such as "over") and articles shouldn't be capitalised. Words such as "dance", "album version" and "remix" are not proper nouns, so they shouldn't be capitalised either. Also, it's "Track listing", not "Tracklisting". Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 17:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually words like "Album Version" and "Remix 2005" are capitalised on most CDs and if it is capitalised on the CD it means that it should be on an information site! Also the pictures I have uploaded are helpful because they save other people having to search through sites like amazon.com just to get them, also they are not copyrighted from web sites as long as no one is claiming it as their own work! Album and single covers aren't copyrighted because they are used to promote singles and sometimes show the mood of the song. Also you could of thinked about this before 'attacking' me. I will not go into arguing because its not worth it.
Um, please become more familiar with Wikipedia policies (and it's subpages) before you question them. Also, I agree with Extraordinary Machine. Cbrown1023 20:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


  • Maybe you people forgot to read, 'Wikipedia does not have firm rules besides the five general principles elucidated here. Be bold in editing, moving, and modifying articles, because the joy of editing is that although it should be aimed for, perfection isn't required. And don't worry about messing up. All prior versions of articles are kept, so there is no way that you can accidentally damage Wikipedia or irretrievably destroy content. But remember — whatever you write here will be preserved for posterity.' It also says you should not be having 'personal attacks' which this obviously is, you could of at least went onto the Hilary Duff 'Talk Page' and said this and just corrected any mistakes! Maybe you should be looking at Wikipedia's policies more! Jessica_simpson121
It also says that you should be bold, but not reckless in updating pages, not saying that you are reckless. But allowing a possible copyright violation is definately reckless. And if you believe that you can do whatever you want on Wikipedia, as long as you have "the joy of editing", than I think you should read more policies. (OMG, this is getting annoying, are we gonna say that all day... you should read more policies, no you should read more......).
This is also not a personal attack, that is being upset with you and holding you accountable for your edits. We are telling you what not to do so that you no longer make bad edits. It is giving you pointers. I am very sorry if you feel that this is a personal attack.
Also, what was the result of your requested for a change of username? Cbrown1023 21:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I just looked at your username change page, you seem not be following policies across the board. Please pick a username as defined acceptible at Wikipedia:Username. Thank you, Cbrown1023 21:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


  • I have tried to have my username changed but it seems like that is being refused.

Jessica_simpson121

I understand that, my point is that it is denied for your inability to follow Wikipedia's policies on usernames. (see Wikipedia:Username) Cbrown1023 21:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

As requested, I have renamed you as User:Generation talk123. You should now move your userpages to the new name. Warofdreams talk 23:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Only images that are in the public domain or are not copyrighted can be used in your userspace. To find out if any of the images you want to use are, please see the images own description pages. Normally accessible by putting a colon in front the link name in the brackets... i.e. [[:Image:Jessica Simpson with microphone.jpg]] gives: Image:Jessica Simpson with microphone.jpg. As you can see, the image mentioned above is acceptible because it is in the public domain. If you have any more questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks, :-). Cbrown1023 22:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Oh, sorry. I guess that means your not able to use album/single pictures on your userpage. Oh well, thanks for the advice! You probably saved me from getting into a lot of trouble.]

Again Thanks, Generation talk123 No problem...

You might also want to consider using "|thumb" when putting images inside aritlces and your user page. I find that it looks nicer, but you make the descion for your user page.
Instead of the following which is give using [[Image:jessica Simpson with microphone.jpg|200px]]

using [[Image:Jessica Simpson with microphone|200px|thumb]] you get
Enlarge
You can also choose whether to align it left, right, or center by placing a "|" and then your choice ( |left or |right or |center ) (right is default). Cbrown1023 23:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Good job... you are a quick learner. :) Cbrown1023 23:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks, and yeah it does look better. I was just having a look for a pic of Mariah Carey that wasn't copyrighted. Anyways I'm just trying to make my user page look nicer than before.

Thanks for all the help, Generation_talk123 13:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charmed broadcasters and DVD releases

Greetings, I'm wondering why you deleted the image for Region 2's Season 8 DVD cover from this article? The image is straight from a reputable German internet retailer, and is not unofficial or pirated. In the future, please give a reason for changes in the edit summary box when you remove things from articles. Thanks! -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Destinyfulfilled.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Destinyfulfilled.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 17:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
