Sorry for that. I don't know how to delete it...

[edit] edit summaries

At first, I thought you were a vandal attacking Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes), but it's not immediately clear that this edit is an improvement. Filling in a summary would help a lot.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. —EncMstr 00:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Released HD DVD Titles

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Released HD DVD Titles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. -- P.B.

[edit] Reply

Did you ask for help? --210physicq (c) 23:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Discuss it on this page; it seems better. --210physicq (c) 23:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
okay, you can see how my boxes look weird like they do. Do you know how to fix it?
Do you want me to fix it for you, or should I tell you step by step? --210physicq (c) 23:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
If you want, but it doesn't make much difference because I don't know a lot about wikimarkup and I am not sure even if you told me if I would be able to understand. So you can just do it if you want. I only got it this far by looking at other peoples' pages, so if you do it I can look at the code and see what you did. Anyway, I seriously doubt this will help me in the future editing regular articles. I feel kind of silly asking you to just DO it for me, and I really appreciate your willingness to help me. BTW, how do you use HTML or another web programming language on Wikipedia?
My sister wants the computer, so I'll have to sign off, sorry. Thanks again. I'll do what I can to thank you more than just saying it. I feel dumb about just LEAVING, but she just went to get my mom to MAKE me get off, so I better go. Now. Sorry. Thanks. J.delanoy 00:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem (I don't have any siblings myself, so I know nothing about sibling conflicts). I fixed your userboxes and moved them to the top of the page. About editing on Wikipedia and using HTML, there are many quirks and stuff to learn about wiki markup (I myself don't know everything about wiki markup, and am still learning some as I go along), so the best I can do is point you to WP:EDIT, which is essentially a tutorial to wiki markup and HTML allowances. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! --210physicq (c) 00:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How you can save yourself

You posted on my talk page asking how you can save yourself with image copyright. I would suggest a number of steps:

  1. Try and find out who holds the copyright of the images that you posted and mark them up accordingly.
  2. Try and find out what licence the images that you posted are under and mark them up accordingly.
  3. Learn about copyright law in general.
  4. Read the Wikipedia policies on copyright and text and image contributions.

The basic point is that virtually everything that has been created recently is copyrighted. Books, films, soundtracks, paintings, photographs and plays are all copyrightable. Wikipedia's philosophy is to make things freely available, in both senses of the word. In other words free so that they do not cost any money to use and free so that they can be reused without copyright concerns. A lot of material might be free so that it does not cost any money but not free so that it can be reused without copyright concerns. Even more material is free in neither sense of the word.

The problem with posting material without source attribution and proper license is that it is virtually impossible to know whether it really is free in both senses. Consequently such material will get deleted and people who persist in posting it after being warned to stop tend to get banned from Wikipedia.

For the moment I would suggest that until you really get a handle on what is free and what is not free in a copyright sense that you stick to posting your own material. If you take a photograph in your own time (ie not on your employer's time since they would own the copyright of works you create then) the copyright of that photograph belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with that copyright, including releasing the work into the public domain or licensing it with a license suitable for use with Wikipedia. The one caveat with that sort of thing is that you should not take photographs where copyrighted objects are the main subject of that photograph and then upload that photograph to Wikipedia. Photographing a copyrighted object where that copyrighted object is the main subject of the picture creates a derivative work of that copyrighted object and means that it is not only you that owns intellectual property rights in that photograph. The only easy to understand exception to that rule is buildings. They are fine to photograph even if they are copyrighted.

If you are thinking of uploading a photograph to Wikipedia ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Did I take this photograph?
  2. Was the photograph taken in my own time?
  3. Is there any copyrighted object which forms the main subject of the photograph?

If the answer to the first two questions is yes and the answer to the third question is no then the photograph should be safe to post to Wikipedia. You then have to consider whether it is an interesting enough subject to upload, but that is a whole different area! David Newton 22:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
