[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Silent Tom, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, and welcome to the ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many Wikipedians around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry—you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it!


[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Using the four tildes to sign your sig is policy whenever you make comments on a talk page or vote on something.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • You should also consider (if you have not already) creating a user page for yourself, to tell us a bit about you. Don't worry if it's small at first -- most people tend to grow their user pages over a period of time, much like Wikipedia articles. Don't expect everything to happen all at once!
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. If you think a page should be moved to a different title, please list it at requested moves.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

Do you have permission to use that Clerks image on Wikipedia? You must have permission from the copyright holder to upload it here. FCYTravis 07:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Clerks_ep4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Clerks_ep4.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 Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Alcast.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Alcast.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, 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 have uploaded other media, 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. Thank you. ZsinjTalk 00:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:BryJohnson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BryJohnson.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

[edit] Superman

Just to let you know, before you start making more changes. Superman II is not the "preceeded by" movie. If we were going to do a "preceded by" movie then it would have to be "Superman IV", because you do those by chronological order, not continuity. Secondly, Superman Returns is not a sequel to Superman II, or Superman I. It merely uses references and in-jokes about them. Bignole 21:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with the page Space Jam on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Whispering(talk/c) 03:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor View Askew Characters

Nice additions to the aforementioned page. However, I write to note that, no offense, your edits are rife with misspellings. We all make mistakes, but in the future you ought to try being more careful. Cheers! "Country" Bushrod Washington 02:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Clerks1.5.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Clerks1.5.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 18:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Differentannouncer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Differentannouncer.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:

[edit] Differences between film and musical versions of The Producers

  1. I WP:Moved the article from "...Proudcers" to "...Producers"
  2. Is this original research, or is it from somewhere? There's unfortunately a Wikipedia policy against original research - that is, it can't be published first on Wikipedia. If there are multiple sources, be bold about citing them. --Lexein 13:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Differences between film and musical versions of The Producers

  • I see that the list is alphabetised, but I wonder if "time order" is better. Are the events in the same order in the three productions? --Lexein 11:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Help! Someone's editing Differences, and I can't confirm if they're right, since I don't have a copy of either film. --Lexein 11:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
