[edit] License tagging for Image:CthGrad.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CthGrad.jpg. 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. 07:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

But the license tag didn't appear. I don't know how to fix it either. :( --RedPooka 07:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: The images

Normally, I'd be able to. However, at the time of the images' deletions (May 2006), there was no feature enabling admins to un-delete (or even view) deleted images. Sorry, but there's no way I can even view them. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 17:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think anyone can view them. Had the images been deleted more recently, it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe you can seek out a developer or something? I'm not aware of any other solutions. Sorry. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 00:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
The list of developers is located here. You can ask them if it's possible to undelete a pic from May 2006, but my gut feeling is that they won't be able to, because the "undelete image" function didn't exist back then due to technical problems. If they can't do it, then I think you're out of luck. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 03:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, let's just wait for the AfD runs its course before we take any action. If they get deleted, they don't necessarily need to be locked. They can be, but it might not be needed. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 04:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Why do you want them? -- Tim Starling 05:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning the Sim games template

I would like to apologize for reverting your edits. I was not properly informed on the status of Sim City 5 or Sims 3. It was entirely my mistake. ~ Oni Lukos ct 01:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

[edit] Re:userpage help

I think I see the problem. First of all, you need to turn that whole area into one single table, because right now, you have multiple tables on one page. Once you do that, THEN it's possible to merge all those boxes, with a "rowspan=6" specification. I don't want to tinker with it because I didn't create it (and therefore may mess it up), so maybe you should merge them all into one table before you ask me to do anything. :) Looks nice though. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 07:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I could, but I'm studying for final exams and I'm a bit busy. I might be able to help more after the exams though; they end on the 8th or 9th of December. -→Buchanan-Hermit/?! 20:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't use fair use images in user boxes

It is illegal for us to use fair use images in user boxes. Please don't restore the ones that were removed. If you restore them again, I will have to report you to the admins. Will (Talk - contribs) 04:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
