User talk:Krabby me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
[edit] Australian rules football
Please do not continue to change references to Aussie rules. The current name is not only much more sensible, but also the result of previous discussions. If you really think it should be changed, please discuss it at Talk:Australian rules football and obtain a consensus first. JPD (talk) 13:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Football (soccer) naming
Hi there, the name used for describing articles about association football (soccer) has been decided previous at Talk:Football (soccer) in Australia. Please do not change references unless it has been discussed there first. -- Chuq 03:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- I understand you are a proud Aussie Rules fan. I am not saying soccer should have preference over other codes, I am saying that the naming issue has already been discussed, repeatedly, and the consensus has been used to use the names "Australian rules football" "Rugby league" "Rugby union" and "Football (soccer)" on their first usage in an article, and "football" thereafter. Feel free to discuss on the Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board if you want to suggest an alternative. -- Chuq 05:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
The naming was agreed upon after much arguing a while ago. Please do not change it again. Xtra 11:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Again, I remind you that the naming for Australian football code articles has been agreed upon in the past. Please don't do this, as in the future people may just start reverting any edits you make to a football-related article. -- Chuq 11:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Krabby me, letting you know that the above comments are still valid, and it would be kindly appreciated if you did indeed accept them. Your naming conventions for "Football (soccer) and "AFL" are swaying from what the international community has decided. This has nothing to do with showing lack of passion towards a code, I respect both of the sports mentioned, and many more. This is a question of your lack of continuity towards Wikipedia and its naming conventions. Raider2044 Bio • Talk • Contribs 09:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Hi, Krabby me. I would appreciate it if you could clarify some thing about the images you have uploaded. Images should only used in Wikipedia if we allowed to use them under copyright law and Wikipedia's licensing conditions. For example, Image:Sampi3.jpg, a screenshot, can only be used to illustrate an article discussing the television coverage that it was taken from, not as an illustration of a mark. Image:Jezza.jpg, a scan from a newspaper, is in the same sort of category. I am not sure why you labelled it as being an image of a postage stamp. Image:Anzac3a.jpg says that you found it on a website. Could you please give more details? Most images on websites are not available for use by Wikipedia. Finally, you have said both that Image:Tarrant takes a mark.jpg was found on a website, and that it is released into the public domain. You can only release it into the public domain if you are the copyright holder. Could you please confirm that you took the photograph or hold the copyright, or provide some evidence that the image has been released into the public domain? Thanks, JPD (talk) 11:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I have listed Image:Jezza.jpg at Wikipedia:Copyright problems, for the reasons I gave above. I also removed it and the screenshot from the articles there were inappropriately included in, and so the screenshot should also be deleted as an orphaned "fair use" image. JPD (talk) 11:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I have listed Image:Tarrant takes a mark.jpg at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. As explained on that page, copyright does not need to be claimed in order for it to exist. We need to have permission to use the image. JPD (talk) 12:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- I found B396.jpg are you able to tell me if photos from Yahoo groups are copyrighted if people post their favourite photos on the group. Thanks for that--Krabby me 12:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. I think that copyright for the Yahoo group photos is still owned by the original owners. They have simply given Yahoo permission to use them to promote their group. That permission does not extend to us at Wikipedia. Of course, if the group only exists to share photos, then they might have given permission for others to use them anyway. These photos might be ok for us to use, they might not, but until we know we can't use them. We need to have: firstly, evidence of who the copyright holder of the photo is, and secondly, evidence that they have released the photos under an appropriate license. Hope that helps.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:B396.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:B396.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Talk page
Hi again, please don't remove sections of your talk page, it is useful as a record of past communication. You may archive it (move it to another page and link to it from your talk page if it gets too long. -- Chuq 14:26, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Adding photos
Hi again! If the photographers have released the images into the public domain, then you can definitely upload them. After clicking Upload file, fill in the form, select PD in the licensing section, and in the Summary box, mention the author and preferably copy their statement that they release the images as well.

[edit] Linking to the Gabba
Hello,
FYI, the current page at Gabba is only a disambiguation page. For linking to the stadium, please use a "piped" link such as:
[[Brisbane Cricket Ground|Gabba]]
This will still display "Gabba" but will send the reader directly to the intended article. I've already disambiguated your infobox at Steve Johnson (footballer) about it.
