[edit] links to vithoulkas.com

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Siobhan Hansa 16:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Flag of Greece.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Flag of Greece.gif. 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. 09:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Wikipedia use only"

Hi Homeopathic

Wikipedia cannot accept material that is "non-commercial" or "only for use on Wikipedia". Wikipedia content is syndicated around the world on the internet and in print, frequently for commercial purposes. Non-commercial or Wikipedia-only content is therefore useless to us.

Hope this helps. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 08:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

That's great. But there's one more step you'll need to follow. From this list pick the correct copyright tag (only you can say what that is), then edit the image page and put that tag somewhere on the page.

(A "tag" by the way is something in {{curlybrackets}} like this, including the curly brackets themselves).

If you don't do that, the image will be deleted again.

Hope this helps! RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 10:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you actually take the photograph? If not, then you can't disclaim the copyright in the way you have. From what you were saying earlier, perhaps {{attribution}} was what you were looking for? If you put

{{attribution|George Vithoulkas}}

on the page, that would seem to cover what the website appears to be saying in its copyright disclaimer. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 16:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

This is because the negative reviews are being used as references within the text. If you want to attribute any of the other statements in the text, then do so. Also, can you please tag any images you upload with either a fair use rationale or proof of a free licence? There's a drop-down box for attributing things, and a big warning that they'll be deleted if you don't use the appropriate marking. Adam Cuerden ^talk 13:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Footnotes explains how to use the tags to reference an article. Use it wisely. Adam Cuerden ^talk 13:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:NPA and WP:NLT

I strongly suggest that you read the above links and cease your personal attacks upon User:Adam Cuerden. People will take your objections more seriously if you refrain from calling other editors liars and threatening them with lawsuits. Besides, you can get blocked for this behavior as well. Cheers, Skinwalker 16:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in George Vithoulkas. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Skinwalker 16:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legal threats

This is your one and final warning.

Do not continue to mention, threaten, or even allude to any possible lawsuit or other legal action to be taken place against a user or against Wikipedia itself. If you have a problem with something that you feel requires legal attention, the Wikimedia Foundation has a legal office that you can contact directly.

Any further mention of someone being sued, be it a 'threat' or 'reality', will be met with an immediate block. --Golbez 16:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The rules set forth in the no legal threats guideline are very specific and clear. At no time are you to threaten legal action against another editor or against Wikipedia. The moment you have done that, you have irrevocably soured the well. The Wikimedia Foundation does not mind you going directly to them when you have a legal issue, but you are under no circumstances allowed to bring it up here on Wikipedia. Anyone who makes a legal threat is to be immediately and indefinitely blocked until such time as the legal action or threat is concluded. Consider it this way - if I threaten to sue a local restaurant, should the restaurant continue to allow me in as long as there is outstanding legal action? No. There is a difference between saying "you are putting up libelous information" and saying "you are putting up libelous information and you will be sued for it." At that point, your time here is done, and you will have to contact the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia is not prepared or equipped to deal with legal threats; that's why the Foundation has a legal department. If you have a genuine issue with libel that isn't being resolved on Wikipedia, follow the instructions set forth in Wikipedia:Libel to contact the Foundation. --Golbez 16:53, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW did i ever said WP "WILL" be sued ? I said "can" be sued if your biased editor insisted on entering FALSE information about Vithoulkas. Let alone the fact that whether WP or Adam gets sued, would be a matter of G.V. to decide, not mine.Homeopathic 06:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

"It's not a threat, it's a reality." Sounds ominous to me. Adam Cuerden ^talk 07:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you (Adam) already have a reputation for misinterpreting things, as can be seen by your writings on Vithoulkas' WP page. Homeopathic 15:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
