[edit] Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Graham ☺ | Talk 22:13, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pokeimage

I see that you've been uploading images of Pokemon. It's general practice to add the tag {{pokeimage}} to the image summary to clarify its copyright status. Also, please include where you obtained the image from. Thanks -- [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 22:41, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Kings Mill Hospital Sign.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kings Mill Hospital Sign.jpg. 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 believe the image qualifies as fair use, 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 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. └UkPaolo/talk┐ 17:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I see you have just added Source page: [1] to the image page. Unfortunately, that page doesn't mention the copyright which the image is under. For it to be legally included in Wikipedia, the image must be under a free licence. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more, as well as the blurb I've posted below. └UkPaolo/talk┐ 17:43, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Kings Mill Hospital Sign.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kings Mill Hospital Sign.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. └UkPaolo/talk┐ 17:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

This I know, I think I'll actually take the picture myself sometime. That very sign is only a ten minute walk away from me. - Ferret 17:45, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Friendly Warning

This is about a comment you made on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EBaum's World controversies. Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 20:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

This is hardly a personal attack, merely a slightly dismayed, possibly aggresive commentary about the fact that the page was put up for deletion. - Ferret 20:36, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Sutton-in-ashfield_portland_square.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sutton-in-ashfield_portland_square.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
