User talk:Sledgeh101
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Sledgeh101! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 11:21, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Yucko The Clown.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 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --wknight94 02:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images with no copyright
Hi. I noticed that you're adding a lot of images and a lot of them have neither source nor copyright information. Images on Wikipedia with no copyright info are not allowed and will eventually be deleted - take a close look at Wikipedia:Image use policy so you don't wind up wasting your time. Scans are done periodically like Wikipedia:Untagged images#List of untagged images which finds images that have no copyright tags and will start the process of removing them. Let me know if you have any confusion. wknight94 02:35, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- BTW, your DVD covers and movie posters may be covered under {{DVDCover}} and {{Movieposter}} as long as they're reduced-quality so they can't be used for bootlegging. Imagine the disaster here if the world's largest DVD black market outfit said they were using Wikipedia images for all of their bootlegged DVDs! :) --wknight94 14:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I tried to look again for the place where I got the image, but I couldn't find the website anymore. The closest I came to finding the same image was a different MTV site, http://data.mtvnetworks.nl/misc/dynimg/Thumb_2089__tmbStankervision.jpg. If this means that the image has to be taken down, so be it.
BTW, all the movie DVD posters I post should be of good quality, but not the highest quality around (besides, if someone is REALLY determined to copy movie posters illegally from the net, I'm not so sure that they would first raid Wikipedia - they could simply go through Amazon.com).
[edit] Single ride Metrocards
I edited your article because you are combining (and confusing) the Bus transfer MetroCard with the Single ride MetroCard.

Thanks for uploading Image:SurvivingTheGame.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.
If you have uploaded other media, 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 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
It seems like the {{Movie_poster}} tag and a fair use rational on the image description page would be the most useful thing you could do here. Regards, Dethomas 03:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:GorillaMyDreams.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:GorillaMyDreams.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sue Anne 01:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Demolition Man.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Demolition Man.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.
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. Quentin X 10:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
