[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succession boxes

Hey.... thanks for getting all those UK #1 succession boxes. If you do any in the future can you please make sure to combine boxes if one is already in the article (for a different country)? Sometimes the song title lengths make the boxes have different widths and it looks kinda sloppy that way, so if you combine them its all forced into one uniform width. You can easily do it by removing the "end box" text from the top one and the "start box" text from the one underneath it. I corrected a bunch that you did already, you can check out those articles if you're not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance! -- eo 21:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

ha, yeah tell me about it, I did most of the boxes for the U.S. by the way what are you doing about songs that dropped out then returned to #1? I wasn't sure what to do with those but then I figured for the sake of less clutter I'd format them as if they were just pages in a book, flowing from one song to the next chronologically without regard to those tricky ones. -- eo 00:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, fortunately there aren't too many of them, probably a handful or so. [[Yorkshiresky 16:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)]]

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Charlesjonesroses.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] Unspecified source for Image:Metop.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Metop.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. Sherool (talk) 07:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On November 13, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Richard Harvey (musician), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Well done, is this your first? Looking forward to further contribs. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the kind words. This is my second DYK, first was MetOp on 30th October. Yorkshiresky 15:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
