[edit] Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary

Welcome, Dondemuth. I hope you will continue to contribute. However, I noticed that a lot of the articles you recently have created are basically just definitions of terms. Wikipedia is not a dictionary -- in an encyclopedia, we want articles that describe the subject and indicate why it is significant, not just say what it is. If you see some of your articles nominated for deletion, I hope this will help you understand the reasoning, and that you will not be discouraged from writing more encyclopedic articles. --Russ Blau (talk) 12:03, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:WS I.gif

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:WS I.gif. I notice 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 argue that 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 can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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. Thank you.
