Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia. When you get a chance, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.

Most people say a little bit about themselves on their userpage (I'm assuming that you are a fan and not Al-Beeno, himself). But generally, editors are allowed some latitude on their user pages. You might look at other user pages for examples.

You should also feel free to drop me a question on my talk page. I'll answer if I'm here.

Happy editing, Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Homo erectus

Ah -- welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, Wiki has to be very careful about copyright, as Wiki itself is a "free" web site and available for others to copy. They are particularly protective about photographs. Lawsuits abound in the world today. So we all have to create the material, but a little bit of careful cut and paste is usually alright. Give yourself some time on the site. I resist (like mad) reading instructions, but it didn't take me long to feel pretty comfortable here. Of course, I learn new things all the time too. Look forward to working with you. Homo erectus could use your insight, I'm sure. WBardwin 04:49, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image addition to "race" article

Thanks for contributing! I moved your recent image to Talk:Race for discussion. It appears to be a copyright violation, and the statements made in the caption need a citation. Unfortunately, we can't inlcude images unless we have proper clearance. Jokestress 23:57, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

What violation? I'm having alot of trouble putting pictures, the picture frame codes are very complex and what I do is take my own pictures or saved from the net and place them on. Once I put them there a message comes out all the time something like "Note: your account will be deleted in a few days if you do not comply to copyright material". But how? Whats the correct way to put a picture, I need to know the specific code to put in a picture without any violation (ULR). I was wondering if you could help me with this.--Quena@sympatico.ca 00:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Unless you have created an image yourself from scratch or it is in the public domain, we can't take or modify existing images from other places (books, web, etc.) and reproduce them here. See Wikipedia:Copyrights, specifically at Wikipedia:Copyrights#Image_guidelines. If you have other questions, you can ask them at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights. Hope this helps!

[edit] Hominin edits

I was hoping you'd look over the changes I made to your recent edits today before you started further edits. You are often highly repetitive and not consistent with the format of the articles, meaning I or other editors need to take a good deal of time paring down your repetitions and reformatting and sometimes restoring text. I'm reverting all of the work you've done tonight. Please work slower and better and seek the assistance of other editors who have put many months of work into these articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


TTTCCHHHHHHHHHEHH !!!! "Kissing my teeth loudly" . Well I could have fixed it up i admit but damn! you had to erase the whole thing? I'm not rying to start a fight, maybe we can work together something to make it better. Lets compromise my friend. --Quena@sympatico.ca 01:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture copyrights

Hi,

I noticed you used the screenshot copyright tag for your "Afarensis Lucy.jpg" picture.

This isn't a proper use of the tag, and it's not allowed. You can (currently) take screenshots of movies or TV shows for the purpose of an article on that movie or TV show. Using screenshot images to illustrate any other articles is not going to qualify as a 'fair use' of an image. I'm changing the license tag to 'no license'.

I know it's difficult to find public domain or GFDL images out there, but those are the rules - someone out there owns the copyright to that image and we don't have the legal right to utilize it in this way.

Thanks - Tempshill 22:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)



Oh I'm sorry about that, using the image copyright codes is hard. --Quena@sympatico.ca 22:10, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I also noticed you tagged the "Habilis.jpg" upload with the "promo" code, obviously incorrect.
All you have to do is not upload stuff you find around the web. All of it is copyrighted, with some exceptions. If you see something on the web that would illustrate an article well, you have to verify whether the picture is in the public domain - most common example is pictures taken before 1926 - or licensed under the GFDL. Tempshill 22:52, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moving an article

It is incorrect to move and article by copying the text and parting it into a new article title. This removes the text from the edit history. We must maintain the edit history undr GFDL. To move an article to a new title, use the "move" tab at the top of the page. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] advice

if that's really your email address, you may want to change your username. there are programs out there that harvest all the email addresses they can find on community websites like this one, and they add them to spam lists. just thought i'd mention it... Themindset 07:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Al beeno

Are you planning to use any of the al beeno images, such as Image:Al beeno 2.jpg.jpg? They are at risk of being deleted en masses for not having source or license info. Stan 06:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:John Candy BB.jpg

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Snow01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Snow01.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 20:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Albert's_Real_Jamaican_Foods.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Albert's_Real_Jamaican_Foods.jpg. 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 indicate why 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 under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

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.

[edit] Image:Jacksoul2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jacksoul2.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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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.

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.
