[edit] Re:NPOV

Ah, I didn't mean any of your edits are POV! That's just one of the welcome notices available, and thinking that they're all similar, I put that one on your talk page. I see now it does have some extra stuff about NPOV, but I think it's more for warning you rather than for informative purposes. I'll change it to a more suitable one. All the best, -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 07:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fishmongers-arms.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fishmongers-arms.gif. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will 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.

[edit] Nigel Dick

Huh, that's funny. I didn't check the history - I didn't realize your article was so new since it was looking quite complete! I spotted his addition to the Band Aid article, and saw that it was mis-capitalized, so I went to fix that, saw it needed cleanup and did that, then went to move it to the proper title and discovered an already existing article. I can't believe you completed a nice full article in that time! You do good work -- definitely keep it up. Cheers! — Catherine\talk 04:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, grasshopper, the answer to citations is easy -- just see Wikipedia:Footnotes! It boils down to:
  1. Put your cursor after the period at the end of the sentence you want to footnote. Click "<ref></ref>" in the insert box (down underneath the edit box and the save/preview buttons).
  2. Put your cursor between the "><". Type your citation, in any format that gets the point across. (If someone else thinks they can improve it, they will.)
  3. Put your cursor under an existing or newly created "References" header, and click "<references/>" in the insert box.
That's it! Preview of course -- missing a closing tag can cause a citation to "eat" the rest of the article below the cite -- but it's easy. There's a few more subtleties if you want to name a source so you can re-use it elsewhere in the article, but you can always master that later. Good luck! — Catherine\talk 05:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
