[edit] Image copyright tags

Thanks for uploading Image:Ben publicaloop.jpg, Image:Ben aloop.jpg, and Image:Ben ptpt.jpg. I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag.

Could you add one to each to let us know their copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:01, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for tagging the images, but fairuse isn't really appropriate for an image that you yourself created. Fairuse is generally for images created by others which cannot be replicated. The standard license for an image you yourself created is the GFDL, which can be added by placing {{GFDL}} on the image description page. - SimonP 01:51, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Benjwong, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

I've seen several of your edits around the Mortal Kombat articles. I'd like to point out that headings should only have one capitalized letter (excluding proper nouns); for example, the "See Also" section you added to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation should actually be "See also". For further reading, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)#Capitalization.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! EVula 20:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images again

To follow up on what was said above, we no longer allow user-created images to be under nonfree licenses, ever. So you need to relicense or delete. Stan 12:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mechanic Lightan

A tag has been placed on Mechanic Lightan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Mechanic Lightan is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon (with double brackets), and also put a note on Talk:Mechanic Lightan saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions.Diez2 01:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Lightan Series

Please do not post multiple articles on the Lightans. All you are doing is changing the names in the articles and just reposting the articles. Friendly Warning.Diez2 01:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: GordianWarrior.jpg

Please search Wikipedia pages on how to relicense/reword this picture. Best, feydey 18:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Please give a source that complies with the license: "[from]...advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit." The current source page is not the owner of the image and as such cannot release the image for any use. feydey 19:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
The source reference is good enough now. By "enable it" do You mean adding it to the Gordian Warrior page? Just use wiki syntax... Best, feydey 22:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smash

Hi there, I reverted your changes to Smash; for disambig pages, we keep the (unhidden) original article titles. Sorry if this wasn't clear. I'm in the process of trying out a template that includes a hidden comment for editors, so people don't have to waste their time doing this.

I put back the 1977 Japanese anime you included, though :-)

Fourohfour 12:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Great no problem. Was just trying to do everyone a favor. Benjwong 17:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about it; as I said here, the problem is that we say to people "do X, Y and Z". So people helpfully take their time to do just that and *then* we say "Oops... doesn't apply to disambigs". As far as I'm concerned, that makes it our (i.e. the more experienced users') fault for not doing something about it, not yours. Fourohfour 19:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:GordianWarrior.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GordianWarrior.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. 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. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 20:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes feel free to delete it. There was some weird issue going on where the image was locked and refused to show up in the article. Long story. Benjwong 21:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure if you haven't seen this or not, but...

Talk:Mechander Robo

Please respond; I consider this issue to be fairly important. Thanks. --E. Megas 20:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Animation

I just thought I'd mention that the word "animation" is not really the same thing as "animated film" (definition on wiktionary); it refers to the technique, rather than the film itself. It is used to mean "animated film" sometimes, but not all dictionaries list this definition - I think only the American ones do (the Oxford dictionary doesn't, for one). It might be better to use "animated film" instead of "animation" when you're referring the film(s) and not the technique, because this term has wider acceptance among English speakers internationally.

Oh, and thank you very much for your excellent work on Chinese animation. You're doing a great job! Esn 19:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah no prob. About the animation thing, if you go by wiktionary it's fairly generic. I have been using the term animation extremely loosely. It technically should be split into films, series, stop-motion, puppets, 3D. Well you get the idea. That are more categories than there are productions. Benjwong 03:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
In that case it would be better to just call all of them "Chinese animation" or simply "animation" - it doesn't need to be pluralized - and clarify if they are "films" or "series" if the need arises. For example, "animation continued to be created in the 19xxs, and some well-known films and series were created during this time". I didn't use wiktionary as my only source - as I said, I checked a number of other dictionaries, and only the American ones defined the word "animation" as something which could be pluralized and could also mean "animated films". Webster (American) has that definition; Oxford (British) doesn't.
Stop-motion and 3D is animation as well (see the "animation techniques" section at the animation article. The kind of animation seen in Havoc in Heaven, for instance, is called cel animation or traditional animation). Puppets (unless animated with stop-motion techniques) are not considered to be animation.
P.S. Please reply on my talk page as well next time (or only on my talk page, whichever you prefer) - that way I get a little orange notice that tells me I got a reply. :) Esn 03:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Pili and Legend of the Sacred Stone

These are not considered animation. CG animation is only used for special effects in both the Pili TV series and the movie. The rest is puppetry. That's like saying that the new Superman movie is animated when it only uses CG animation for special effects and the rest is human actors.

I replied in the movie discussion page. Benjwong 20:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I checked all the image by hand and confirmed the bots findings:

[edit] History of Colonial Hong Kong (1800s - 1930s)

Hi, I have removed the semi-protection tag that you put on the History of Colonial Hong Kong (1800s - 1930s) article, because just putting a tag on a page doesn't protect it, admins have to actually do the protecting. Corvus cornix 21:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

No, it isn't protected. An admin has to protect it. Corvus cornix 03:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting articles

Just a note, because I noticed you've done this at least twice now, when you want to delete an article you need to nominate it for deletion instead of placing a "db" tag on it for speedy delete. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 03:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I was thinking Afd flags are for articles debating for 5 days. That article has been questioned since 2005. Was trying to save a step/time. Benjwong 03:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but speedy deletion is only appropriate for those that qualify under speedy deletion criteria. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 04:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Alright. I'll give you that. Benjwong 04:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding references

When you use the same reference in multiple places, you don't have to insert the whole reference tag multiple times. You can name each tag and then use them again. See what I did here[1]. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 20:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah thanks. I will use that next time I come around to fixing the pages. At least from now on I will use this handy trick. Benjwong 20:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPFilm Award

The WikiProject Films Award
I, Esn, hereby award Benjwong the WikiProject Films Award for his/her valued contibutions to the Films WikiProject. Thank you for your excellent and comprehensive work on numerous Chinese animation articles. You've done an exemplary job at filling out the history of this branch of filmmaking over the past few months.
Awarded 06:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Heh, I've just noticed that you aren't a member, Benjwong. You should add your name, since you're contributing quite a bit anyway. :) Esn 07:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong-style Western cuisine AfD

Just to let you know, the Hong Kong-style Western cuisine article to which you nominated for deletion (AfD) was not initially listed correctly. I have since finished listing the article and you may find it under the March 22 AfD discussions. Luke! 05:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

For your information, an article can only undergo one AfD discussion at any given time. Consensus has to be achieved in a first discussion before nominating it for a second time. At this time, I recommend you withdraw your second nomination until the first one has been closed. For future use, you may wish to read up on deletion policy before nominating another article. Should you need any help whatsoever in getting to know Wikipedia better, please do let me know via my talk page. I would be glad to be your guide. Luke! 22:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 24 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Kinship of the Three, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
