User talk:MJR

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi MJR, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 18:57, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

The Trade refers to the Tuesday, August 9, 1988 NHL trade which saw Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Other players in the deal were Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley who went with Gretzky to the Kings in exchange for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, the Kings' first-round draft choices in 1989 (acquired by New Jersey, who selected Jason Miller), 1991 (Martin Rucinsky), 1993 (Nick Stajduhar) and $15 million (US) (the Kings franchise had just been purchased for $20 million).

Headline on page one of the 8/10/88 Edmonton Journal

Gretzky had captained the Oilers to four Stanley Cup championships in the previous five seasons. In his eight year career, Gretzky had won seven Hart Trophy awards as league MVP, and six Art Ross Trophies as the league's leading point scorer. He had shattered every single season scoring record, and was the leading scorer in all three Canada Cup tournaments in which he played. He had become a symbol of Canadian pride, and news of the deal sent shockwaves through the nation.

The Kings' previous average attendance record of 12,620 fans per game had been set during the 1974-75 NHL season. In Gretzky's first year, average attendance rose to 14,875 per game. In future seasons, the Kings average attendance wouldn't fall below 15,000 until the 1995-96 NHL season, when Gretzky was traded to the St. Louis Blues.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:HankStram.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:HankStram.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. J. Nguyen 02:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:AdamsBurns.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AdamsBurns.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. bluemask 16:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BatmanBeginsRoache.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BatmanBeginsRoache.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:SINash2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SINash2005.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use.

Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Also, the image is missing a fair use rationale, and I do not believe it qualifies as fair use since there is already a photograph illustrating Steve Nash in the article and the SI cover isn't being used to discuss SI. The same goes for Image:SIDreamTeam.jpg. Ytny

[edit] Image:SterlingSharpeHeadshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SterlingSharpeHeadshot.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:VezinaHasek.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
