From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, welcome to wikipedia. Feel free to experiment in the sandbox. In the meantime, please bear in mine that wikipedia is a multi-national project, and to make your articles readable by an international audience. -- Graham :) 22:59, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Art Institute image

Thanks for uploading Image:Artinstitute.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 17:28, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Lorax, if you can tell the community where the fair use images you upload came from, that would be helpful. Otherwise, we have no way of knowing whether the photographer meant for people to use his/her image freely, to promote the topic. -- user:zanimum

[edit] About the Music video project

Hey Lorax. My name is Alejandro Vesga and a while back I wanted to join the Music video project. But I found that there is no progress and no list of members of the project. Is it just you? Because if that's the case, maybe the project should be shut down and we can edit music video articles on our own. Also, there's a message on the talk page I think you should see.

I know Kevin and the Videoville project, and personally I think there is some valuable information there, but I wouldn't go as far as to make a migration. Anyway, drop me a line and we'll see what we can do.

[edit] Ted Stevens

Hi, could you provide a link citing Ted Stevens as NOT being a pro-choice politician? Thanks. Jarfingle 08:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not The Lorax, I just happened to be looking at their talk page by happinstance, but you might try: http://www.issues2000.org/states/AK_Abortion.htm NARAL gives Ted a 21% pro-choice rating.

[edit] Category:Pro-whaling nations

I think this information should be stored in a list instead. The issue is too marginal for most countries to justify a category. It also sets a bad precedent, and invites categories for countries that allow smoking in public buildings, countries that use the death penalty, and for number of other controversial issues. A list collects the same information without any turning the category system into a pillory. --Latebird 21:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth has the semi-protection tag, but somehow anonymous users are still able to edit the page. How is this possible? —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 03:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I've contacted Admins to help with the problem. The lorax 04:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

(I'm not the Lorax, but...) I think people sometimes fail to realize that only administrators can protect or semi-protect a page. The admin who "flips the protection switch" then edits in the appropriate template so we mere mortals can see what has been done, but the template has nothing to do with applying the actual protection itself. (Lorax: Please feel free to remove my comment here if you wish.)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Inconvenienttruth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Inconvenienttruth.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 17:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Melgibsonpublicitypic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Melgibsonpublicitypic.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. (→Netscott) 19:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Since you started Bilal Hussein, want to take a look and see if there's anything more to add? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Music Video

Just letting you know that any project which has no members listed is technically eligible for consideration for deletion. You might want to add a section for members to sign on and add your name to it. Thanks. Badbilltucker 14:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
