User talk:Ehamberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
- Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
[edit] Image:Vim.png
Hey: why is Image:Vim.png listed as being used under fair use? It's Free software, displaying GPL'ed stuff, so there doesn't seem to be any particular reason for it. And besides, you can see Image:Vim-(logiciel)-console.png is under a CC license, not fair use. --Gwern (contribs) 18:04 3 December 2006 (GMT)
- I agree. It seems like a weird choice, and I can't remember why I didn't pick a CC license or similar. However, as the picture has been replaced, I guess I can't change that now..?

- Well, why not upload a replacement image under some sort of Free image to Commons, and then request a speedy delete of a now-replaceable fair use image? --Gwern (contribs) 16:36 4 December 2006 (GMT)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Precedence graph.svg
Thanks for uploading Image:Precedence graph.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 12:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
