[edit] License tagging for Image:Janeway original.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Janeway original.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.

[edit] Secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes

Hi - why did you remove the section about Max from Secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes without any comment on the edit? Max is definitely a valid character within the strip. --Oscarthecat 21:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

    • I noticed that just a few paragraphs above it was a nearly identical description, and I didn't think there needed to be two entries like that in the same article. Sorry about the lack of explanation!

[edit] Jostaberry

Hi. Thanks for adding the categories to the Jostaberry article. I'm not a very expert wikipedian, so I hope you don't mind if I ask for a little help on another couple of issues in this article... You'll see that I've used the German words for blackcurrant and gooseberry in the article. It would be nice if when clicked these words linked to the appropriate entries in the German Wikipedia (there are already English-language links further up the page, so nothing is lost), but I don't know how to do this. Also, I'm not sure how to create a taxobox for interspecific hybrids. Any help or advice you could give on either of these items would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    • Honestly, I don't know how to link to the foreign-language Wikipedia pages. I would recommend looking under "Help" on the buttons on the left of your screen. Also, I've never created a taxobox myself, so I would look at some of the existing taxoboxes out there in Edit mode and see what formats are used. And no problem about the categorizing--it has become a hobby of mine in a way.

[edit] Wikifying Disambiguation Pages

Just a heads-up, since I hated to undo all your work in wikifying the disambiguation page Hollow (and because you probably aren't too thrilled about it, either): disambiguation pages are never wikified, per the Manual of Style for Disambiguation Pages (see the second bullet under "Individual Entries"). This is because DAB pages are for directing lost users to the article they were looking for, and not for exploring or explaining a topic. They are one of the very few types of pages that aren't wikified. Cheers! Sanguinity 20:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that particular nuance of Wikipedia.

[edit] Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
