[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You may want to take a look at the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers such as yourself:

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! -- Spinboy 05:19, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] University coats of arms

Hi! I noticed you've uploaded a handful of university coats of arms recently. Are you emblazoning them yourself or finding them elsewhere? If you're doing them yourself, keep in mind that you don't have to use the {{coatofarms}} license template -- you can license them under whatever terms you want (preferably free ones!) because the rights to an emblazon go to the artist. — mendel ☎ 14:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not drawing these guys myself. In most of the scenarios, I'm just replacing the Coats of Arms with a higher quality image that what was previously in use. Or, on more than one occasion, I just took the image that was already in use and changed the format from say...a jpeg to a PNG (to make the background transparent.) On a related note, it seems that most Canadian universities, between around 2000 and 2003 decided that it was important to standardize their "visual identity" and so most of them have provided incredibly precise standards on what their crest should be. Most of them say they are free to use for non-commercial purposes. In the past, I've use the {{logo}} license template, it's just that this time around there was a coat of arms template that seemed more appropriate. --Greenmind 23:30, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Ok, just making sure. I'd noticed a couple of incidents of people emblazoning arms themselves but using {{coatofarms}} from habit, even though they could use their own free license, so I thought I'd check. — mendel ☎ 00:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] University template

Hi I noticed you made the template for the Schools of Queen's University. Just wondering is there a general template to follow or did you make it yourself? Thanks YCCHAN 20:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Do you know where I can view the source of the template? Nvm, I found out. YCCHAN 23:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:UBC-Crest.png

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:UBC-Crest.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media 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 media, 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.

[edit] Big Five banks reordering

Good call on reordering the banks according to size. However, it is not obvious whether the size goes from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. I'm actually a little unsure myself (although I think you've ordered them largest to smallest) so could you please change the line from "in order of size" to either "from smallest to largest" or "largest to smallest"? Also, if you have a source for the ordering, that'd be cool too. Thanks a million! Mustard 20:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what "size" is the ordering based on. It appears to be number of employees?
If it's done using market cap, the order would be: RBC, Scotia, TD, BMO, CIBC
If it's done using assets, the order would be: RBC, TD, Scotia, BMO, CIBC
If it's done using employees, the order would be: RBC, TD, Scotia, CIBC, BMO (the ordering that appeared before my edit)
This according to the stats that appear on the page.

I re-ordered using market cap and re-ordered the boxes beneath by the same order. Feel free to comment on whether that's the best way to do it. Kelvinc 07:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:UTCrest.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
