[edit] Nice Smallville Update!
Hey dude thanx for such a cool update! I was thinkin of updating the music information a while ago, but I don't really have much time right now. Anyway, try to get the cover art for both cds, I guess you can find those easily (but please good quality) and don't forget to fill the respective license.
Nice job!

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Clubhel.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Clubhel.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, 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 going to "Your contributions" from your user page 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. Thanks so much.

[edit] Melissaadm
You did not specify the source for Image:Melissaadm.jpg. Could you please update that information so we can confirm the copyright status? Thanks, and great image. :) --Yamla 04:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Lex-luthor1.jpg
Where did you get this image? I just got a nicely worded yet firm email from somebody from Warner Brothers saying that an image of Superman in the same yet-to-be-released film has *not* been released to the media yet. The rep requested deletion of that image and I complied. This is potentially very serious if Wikipedia contributed to the spread of these images before they were officially released. At the *very* least we all *need* to say exactly where we get images when uploading. --mav 18:52, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Lone4.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lone4.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 11:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request for edit summmary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 2% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear inpolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mission7.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.

- I've removed the no source tag. You should read the tag which you added. It says images should quote a source, copyright info and fair use rationale. The image now shows the source, but nothing else. I've removed the tag so that you have a chance to fix it without anyone coming along and deleting the image. You should also read the articles linked from the message I sent you relating to copyright so that you understand Wikipedia's stance on copyright. You're right - 6 months ago things were more relaxed although these rules have always been applied. It's become stricter simply because there have been so many flagrant breaches of copyright and Wikipedia has been criticised for it in the mainstream media. Under copyright laws both Wikipedia and the contributing editor (ie you) can be legally liable for any breach in copyright, and although nobody has tried to sue Wikipedia, the aim is to remove problematic material when detected. Everything you need to know is in Wikipedia:Image description page, Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyright. If you make yourself familiar, you can't go wrong, and let me know if you are not sure about anything. Thanks. Rossrs 21:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] James Bond character template
As someone who works on a number of the characters, do you think we should have an "age" field in the template? I know 24 got rid of it and Alias doesn't have it either. Most villains don't have any specific data. I'm just calling attention to this because it seems like these ages get changed almost everyother week and now someone just went through and gave them all specific ages that can't be calculated.
Is there any other field that could replace this that might be an interesting fact? K1Bond007 22:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know. Some of those you mentioned, like Henderson, I knew worked for Omnicron and CTU (just as an example). For people where they have no clear job, I would say make that field optional in the template then just blank it for that character so it doesn't show. K1Bond007 20:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] X-Files question
I'm not a huge X-Files fan, but I tried to follow it for a while. There was a book that Mulder used that had something to do with the meanings of symbols. I've always wanted to buy a copy of it, but now I can't remember the name of it. Thanks for your help. -- GTWeasel 14:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North by Northwest
Vandamm does not fall to his death. At the end, he is taken into custody. When Leonard is killed, Vandamm turns to the Professor and says something like "That wasn't very sporting." Maybe you're thinking of the second henchman. He tries to ambush Thornhill and falls to his death. Clarityfiend 05:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
