[edit] Welcome

Hello Palimpsester, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] Moving articles

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm wondering why you moved The Rules of the Game to The Rules of the Game (movie)? The parenthesis description is only needed to disambiguate an entry. Unless there is more than one article with the same title, you can use the title without putting anything in parenthesis. This is no big deal, but the most common meaning of a title is usually the one that has the pure title, and in this case I would guess that would be the movie.

The other problem with moving articles is that it creates double redirects. So if there was already an article that redirected to The Rules of the Game it won't get redirected a second time. This could be fixed by moving the article back, but it is hard to move them back. You have to get an administrator involved to move it and keep the page's history intact. Another option is to edit all the pages with the double redirects. Requesting that the page be moved back is probably preferable, and less work.

So let me know for your reasons for the move. If it was a mistake, we can ask an administrator to move it back. -- Samuel Wantman 06:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I put a note at the beginning of both articles that should help people get to where they want to be. I'm also going to request moving The Rules of the Game (movie) back to where it was before. BTW, here's a tip for an easy way to can sign comments on talk pages. You can just type ~~~~, and the four tildes will become your name with a link to your talk page with the date. Samuel Wantman 20:38, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Shelley104.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Shelley104.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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 media, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 13:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:MOVIN WRATH.png

Thanks for uploading Image:MOVIN WRATH.png. 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. 07:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added the correct screen shot tag to Image:MOVIN WRATH.png Palimpsester 07:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Pfeiffer BakerBoys.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pfeiffer BakerBoys.png. 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.
