[edit] Removal

Please do not remove sections of articles as you did in Deaths in 2006. It is considered vandalism and will get you blocked from editing. Thank You. Weatherman90 02:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attention

Yet again:

Please pick one name. You have many to choose from; I'll even unblock any of your choice if you ask.
Don't move articles by cutting and pasting text from the old name to the new one. There's a link that says "Move." (It may not be available to new accounts; I forget at the moment.) Use *that*. It preserves the edit history, and makes things easier for other editors.
Describe your changes in the box that says "Edit summary."
Press "Preview" and check your edits before pressing "Submit."
And, since you're reluctant to leave messages on talk pages, just delete this line if you actually read this message.

[edit] Please stop

Greetings,

Please read and understand how to move a page before again attempting anything like what you tried to do with Shakey's Pizza.

Thank you.

[edit] Date links

This is regarding the article E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Please note that according to Wikipedia's guidelinies regarding date formatting, "simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so." These should only be linked if they're part of a full date with day & month, as in December 28, 2005. If they occure alone, just December or just 2005 or just December 2005, they shouldn't be linked. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 21:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:DiscoveryZone.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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. tregoweth 03:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

If you get an image from a website, you cannot tag it with {{PD-self}}[1], because you did not create it. tregoweth 05:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Will (^E_@) T 18:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date formatting

You don't have to change dates formatted like "25 January" to "January 25". If they are wikified, they will automatically be shown in whatever format each user sets in their Preferences. Watch:
