[edit] License tagging for Image:Tap promopic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tap promopic.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creating empty pages

Please do not create pages with no content. They are liable to be speedily deleted. Please wait until you are ready to begin an article before creating the page. —Centrx→talk • 04:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

The two empty pages I found were It's a Game and Dedication (Bay City Rollers album). They contained only the "Bay City Rollers Discography" template, perhaps with an image of the album cover, with no article text. As for making a link to an article that does not yet exist, this is encouraged (when the article might belong on Wikipedia and has a reasonable name), because it will make it more likely that the article gets created, and it will make it so that when the article is created, it is already linked to where it is supposed to be.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask me. Here is another tip: sign your posts to Talk pages with "~~~~", which will have a link to your User page (which you can freely create by editing User:Bawtyshouse) and will have the date. Welcome to Wikipedia. —Centrx→talk • 06:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding categories

Yea, that's what was meant. Lincher 00:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Stevejonespic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stevejonespic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok ☠ 18:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moving pages

Please read Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages before moving any more pages. Your moves of Chris Adams (wrestler) and Chris Adams (cricketer) were done incorrectly and took a lot of effort to repair. Tim! 22:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bcr-dedication.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bcr-dedication.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

[edit] Vandalism messages - reply

Hi there, thanks for your message. I don't specifically watch cartoon show pages - I just keep an eye out generally using the User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool, which I find useful.

  • The general view is that you should warn IP addresses about vandalism, because it leaves a trail of warnings for others to act on in future. Also, users do sometimes read them and calm down once they know that they are being watched. Particularly troublesome IPs can be blocked temporarily, but only if the warning process has been carried out.
  • There's a handy chart of warning template messages at WP:WARN - e.g. for a "first vandalism offence", you might just leave {{subst:uw-vandalism1|Pagename}} ~~~~ (a gentle warning, aimed not to scare off new users who might have made a mistake; for more serious vandalism, or vandalism after previous warnings, you then take it up the scale - you can even leave {{subst:uw-vandalism4-im|Pagename}} ~~~~ ("only warning") in particularly serious cases of vandalism, particularly if on lots of pages (clicking "User contributions" in the toolbox on the left-hand side of the page, and checking the recent edits, sometimes reveals vandalism that others have yet to spot).
  • If someone (IP or user) has vandalised after a "level 4" (Final) warning, then the place to go is WP:AIV and follow the instructions there to report them.

Hope this helps. Signing up for the Lupin Anti-vandal tool if you can, or one of the other tools, is handy because you can do a lot more by simple clicking. Best wishes, Bencherlite 12:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
