Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, thanks, and we hope that you will like Wikipedia. Wkdewey 03:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:City Lights of Montreal min.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:City Lights of Montreal min.jpg. 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. 05:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Auschwitz

Hi there; I notice that you have added the word Catholic to the comment about Polish deaths at Auschwitz I. I have not altered it. If you read through the talk page you will see that I am possibly the most vehement defender of this article on wikipedia; but do you have a source, apart from the obvious fact that Poland is a mainly Catholic country, for your assertion?--Anthony.bradbury 20:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Anthony,

I only added Catholic so as not to confuse the issue for people that may not be historians. I wanted to show that 'Poles' and 'Jews' are not necessarily different peoples or nationalities. Hence I added Catholic. I could have said 'non-Jewish' or 'Christian, but I figured, as you know, that since Poland is overwhelmingly Catholic, that a difference should be noted. I have a keen (and related) interest in Auschwitz too, but I'm not dogmatic. If you feel it shouldn't be changes, I'm OK with that. But I think you know what I was trying to say. I notice you are in England. I spent a summer in Huddersfield, West Yorks when I was 16, and love the England. Best wishes fellow traveller --RobNS 06:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm happy to leave the word "Catholic" in. I did wonder about changing it to "mainly" or "mostly" or "overwhelmingly" but I think on balance leave it alone. They will have been, given the situation in Poland at the time, over 99% Catholic once Jewish people are discounted (in a mathematical sense, of course).--Anthony.bradbury 11:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Incidentally, if you have an interest in the subject, perhaps I could ask you to watch the article page and the talk page? The article is regularly, sometimes several times a day, vandalised; the talk-page is a magnet for holocaust deniers. From your earlier comment, and from your user-boxes, I suspect that you might share with me a desire to keep this article clean. To avoid confusion, I should say that I am not Jewish, but neither were all of the Auschwitz victims.--Anthony.bradbury 16:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Anthony, actually I'm not Jewish either, although my grandfather was (in occupied Amsterdam, he survived). I am very impressed with the way you have kept the Auschwitz page together, especially dealing with the neo-nazi types in the talk page. At any rate, I've added the page to my watchlist, and will be watching regularly. Best --RobNS 22:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I am happy about your grandfather. Thank you for your comment. Although clearly I was not directly concerned - I was only 2 years old when the war ended - I do have this compulsion to make people aware of what happened in the Holocaust, lest it should happen again. It is, I recognise, an obsession, although perhaps not a harmful one. Have you been to Auschwitz? It is a deeply moving experience, and if I had my way everyone in the whole world should go. I know many don't care, and many physically can't do it, but I stick with my opinion. Best wishes - keep in touch.--Anthony.bradbury 22:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the vandalism level is becoming intolerable. I have raised the issue at Village Pump (policy). Best wishes.--Anthony.bradbury 16:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Swenkas 72dpi.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Swenkas 72dpi.jpg. 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.

[edit] Military of Cameroon

Hi, RobNS. I've removed your edits to Cameroon regarding its military pending a source citation. I'm currently trying to get the article up to Featured Article status, and to that end, unsourced information cannot be present. Can you provide a source? Thanks, — — Brian (talk) 22:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Brian, no problem. Actually, all I did was transfer some of the information from the Military of Cameroon page into the Cameroon main page, since it didn't have a wikilink to a Cameroon military page. I didn't actually add or change any of the information. --RobNS 23:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Cool, no problem. I'll try to see what I can dig up from my sources to add a bit on the military. It's probably a small enough topic that it can be folded into the "Politics" section (perhaps renamed "Politics and government"). Thanks for your help. — Brian (talk) 04:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: 80.47.239.175 VANDAL

Yeah, not entirely sure what to make of that one. As you can probably see if you take a look at my contributions, you'll probably see that attacks like that are unfortunately rather common; you can see more information at Wikipedia:Vandalism, if you're interested. In that case, I issued the highest-available official warning message, and was prepared to block in the event that any disruption continued from that IP address (that's generally the way these things go: people get caught, they get reverted and given a set of escalating warnings, and eventually they either stop or are blocked from editing; usually all takes place in a few minutes). If you run into any problems, you can contact me, or make use of the various admin noticeboards to get help. Hope that makes sense -- let me know if you have any questions. :) Luna Santin 03:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
