[edit] Edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "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.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Alphax τεχ 14:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] College football categories

Hi there! It looks like you're helping to create categories for college football teams. That's cool. A couple of things: We've been trying to limit the category to schools with at least three players, or we leave them on the Football players from small colleges article. Not a hard and fast rule (see the Air Force category), but some of us want to avoid swamping it.

The other thing is that when you create a category for players, you should also create a category for "(School) (nickname) football", which should feed into a category for the school itself. Generally, we put the school article under that category, and any other obvious choices. This way, when the basketball category is created for the same school, it'll feed into the same place. Somebody'll probably do it for you if you don't, but please do if you feel comfortable doing so. Anyway, thanks for participating!--Mike Selinker 04:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cat:Living People

Hey Packerfan, I've noticed your large amount of effort and work in making NFL Player stubs. I've got one request: could you category the ones who are alive under [[Category: Living people|Last, First]], so we won't have to go back and add it all over again? Thanks! -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 04:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Walter Young page moves

Hi, I just saw that you moved Walter Young to Walter Young (baseball). Since the article was already at Walter Young, it needed to be moved with the move button, not cut-and-pasted. (See Help:Moving a page.) I'll go ahead and fix it for you, but please remember how to move a page properly, for your future reference. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:ReggieBush.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.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ×Meegs 06:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent move of London Fletcher

For your information, I reverted your move of this article. Under Wikipedia's policy of naming conventions, the most common, well-known name is preferred over the legal name. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  • And it looks like this will remain as his most common name since he has said that he will still have just "Fletcher" on his jersey [1] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vikings helmet image

why did you revert Image:Minnesota Vikings helmet rightface.png back to the 05 image? Smith03 05:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I reverted the image back to the 2006 version. The new changes on the 2006 helmet are subtle, as lines are drawn to make it more 3-D. However, I will upload the old helmet logo as Image:Minnesota Vikings helmet old.png so it can also be placed on the Vikings page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] STOP

Stop reverting the Vikings helmet image Smith03 20:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC). It can be/ and will be consider vandalism


[edit] RE logo

I am not sure how to revert imagines myself ( I think I have made matters worse on the imagine page I attempted to revert it back and now it screw up more). Have you view the imagine page at all? because each time it was changed its history showed you reverting to the old image. Smith03 21:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bears Uniforms

Hey I like the new Bears uniforms that you uploaded, but do you have the orange/white combinations? Another thing, is there a way you could have at least 2 of the uniforms on the same horizontal plane instead all 4 going up and down vertically? Thanks for your input on the Chicago Bears article. --Happyman22 04:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:CLE 388.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:CLE 388.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
