[edit] Warhammer 40,000

Hi! I noticed that you seem to be interested in Warhammer 40,000. If you are, I would just like to tell you about the WikiProject that has been set up in order to try and co-ordinate the efforts put on the 40K related articles. Cheers -Localzuk ^(talk) 11:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

That sounds like a cool idea. At the moment I am trying to update all the Space Marine Chapters with the Table Template thingy. I have a whole load of White Dwarves so just tell me what needs to be researched and I will.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dark hummingbird (talk • contribs) .

As you will see, most of the articles that are on Wikipedia regarding Warhammer 40,000 are unreferenced. If you could provide any references as per WP:CITE, WP:V and WP:RS that would be excellent. Also, I was retrieving the shoulder badges from the UK games workshop site (there is a link to a gallery of chapters on the Space Marines page) - so if you would like to upload images that would be great.

If you would like to add any extra rows to the chapter template, take a look at the template it self Template:Infobox Warhammer 40,000 Chapters. Also it might be worth looking into conditional boxes (ones that don't have to be filled in) so we don't have to go back and add extra detail to those that the infobox already is in use on. An example of a template with conditionals is the Template:cite book one. Hope this helps :)

Oh and also, remember to sign your comments on talk pages. This is done by typing four tildes like this ~~~~, or by clicking on the signature button above the edit box (second from right).-Localzuk ^(talk) 11:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced images

Hi. I notice you've uploaded some 40k images, but you haven't given a source for any of the images. Without this, it is impossible for others to verify the copyright status of the images, so they will have to be deleted. Also, I don't think that {{logo}} can really be used for fictional organisations - it's intended for real corporations, etc. Cheers --Pak21

[edit] Warhammer articles

Hi. A couple of points. First, when you're creating articles such as Caledor or Tethlis, please mention somewhere early on that you're discussing fictional characters in a fantasy world. Putting timelines in which look like real-world historical fact is confusing in the extreme. It doesn't take much, just something along the lines of

Tethlis the Slayer is a fictional character from Warhammer Fantasy.

word it as you wish as long as it's clear.

Second could you try to conform with Wikipedia style as above (the subject of the article repeated, perhaps with some expansion, in bold as early as possible.

And third, it's "calendar", not "calender". I've renamed Imperial Calender and Sigmarite Calender and cleaned up a few articles, but it would be less work all round (and fewer redirects) if you spelt it right in the first place.

Thanks a lot.

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:13thcompany.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:13thcompany.gif. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Improving the Warhammer content

I'm afraid I can't help you with setting up a Wikiproject as I haven't the foggiest idea to go about it. Localzuk mentions above that there's a Warhammer 40,000 project; is that a different thing? (pardon my ignorance but I haven't really a clue what Warhammer is). Maybe you should talk to Localzuk. As for navigation templates the best adivice I can offer might be to look at something like Lord of the Rings or His Dark Materials to se how they are organised. Sorry I can't be of any more specific help. Cheers. Tonywalton | Talk 20:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphanbot is not spamming you. It is performing a community service by warning you that unless you take action the images you have uploaded will be deleted. The two messages above are for two different images that are going to be deleted unless source information is provided in conjunction with the fairuse claim. --Martyman-(talk) 22:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:BraganzaDOW.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.

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BraganzaDOW.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use.

[edit] IMPORTANT! READ THIS!

I noticed you left a message called IMPORTANT! READ THIS! [1]. I would suggest a more appropriate title like == Too many Pictures == instead of == IMPORTANT! READ THIS! ==. Also when you sign --~~~~ It is understood that it is a signature and you don't have to state it its--~~~~

ALSO REMEBER TO TURN YOU CAPS LOCK OFF. THEIR IS NO NEED TO SHOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edit] Leaving Wikipedia

I'm sorry to hear that so many things are causing you to leave Wikipedia - I hope that if you do leave, you eventually come back - not everything is so bad! -- Nataly a 16:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I may come back... Its just some things about the Wikipedia system, such as the BOTs for instance, take away the community sense of Wikipedia... I've never had positive feedback... EVER. BTW, thanks for the support. Dark Hummingbird 20:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that you're leaving. Hope that you return. Anonymous _anonymous_Have a Nice Day 13:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I do hope you will come back. Always remember that Wikipedia is there to educate the millions out there who read it. and don't realise that it is written by ordinary people like you and I. And also remember that if you are doing a good job, you probably won't have feedback. But you will indirectly. For example, I recently read a blog from some old US army vets discussing some old WW2 memories, and they gave a reference in Wikipedia to something I had written about WW2, and verified that it really was just like that. That gave me great satisfaction. That is what is really important, not some BOT or out of control admin. Wallie 16:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
