Welcome!

Hello, StefanWirz, 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

In particular, I'm very impressed with your article on Blue Goose Records. Good work; I've removed the "notability?" tag. DS 14:33, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Really nice Takoma page, even if you don't want it on the wiki entry! Now that you're here, any chance you could cast an expert eye over the John Fahey and American Primitivism pages? Felix-felix 21:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pitchford

Though I don't see the reasoning of trying to make a page un-viewable to a certain sector of people, I thank you for explaning the URL specifics to me. I did notice that your Wikipedia name is the same as the name of the person who made the discography (you), and I think it's great that an expert like you is working here. Lonnie Pitchford was one of my all time favorites and I'm sorry I never got to see him live (though I've seen him in the several films I've added to the article). By the way, your English is at 95% or more intelligibility for native speakers, in my opinion. Happy editing, Badagnani 08:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So Glad to See You Here, Stefan!

Hello, and thanks for all your work at your own site, and now here. I noticed your addition of the label image to the Rabbit Brown page. That was a nice touch. I hope you stick around and add more information to the many blues, gospel, and jug band pages in the Wikipedia. Yours in blues solidarity, Catherineyronwode 23:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Just seconding the comments. As the blues neophyte who started Kokomo Arnold and Scrapper Blackwell, it's great to see a contributor with more than casual knowledge. Also as a Wikipedian who plays close attention to the attribution of images, I was really impressed with your site. Cheers, BanyanTree 21:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel Charters

Dear Stefan, I've just created a page on Samuel Charters, someone whose work I admire very much. I've learned more about him after listening to the audio interview. I presume you know more about him, maybe you even know him in person as he might still live in Europe. If you'd like to add anything to the article it would be great.

[edit] License tagging for Image:YazooLabel1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:YazooLabel1.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. 13:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Unspecified source for Image:YazooLabel2.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:YazooLabel2.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Note that any unsourced and untagged images may 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. WinHunter (talk) 13:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bl Jim Brewer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bl Jim Brewer.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. BigDT 12:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

[edit] Article about Wikipedia Users

Hello,

Wikipedia user David Badagnani directed me to your user page. I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” If you are interested in participating, please email me at brianwrites@gmail.com

If anybody else, other than this user is interested in participating, feel free to email me as well. This article is intended to be a light informational piece, nothing too heavy or controversial, just merely introducing readers to a subculture that they likely had no idea existed. So please don’t email me with your conspiracy theories, or your grudge against the Wikipedia hierarchy… unless it directly applies to your overall experience with the site. This article is about the USERS, not about the pros and cons of the site itself.

Thanks,

[edit] Snooky Pryor

I recently removed an image you placed in the article Snooky Pryor due to a violation with WP:FU. It states that album covers can only be used as critical commentary on articles dealing specifially with the album in question. I just wanted to let you know about this and that if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers! -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 23:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

If you must do that ... (In Germany there's an old saying: 'Tue, was Du nicht lassen kannst' [in English: If you must you must]; myself I prefer an old Asian saying: 'Tue nicht, was Du auch lassen kannst' [in English something like: Don't do what you just as well can avoid doing] StefanWirz 17:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits made to Arvella Gray

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, StefanWirz! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \.photobucket\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 17:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shadowbot

I made the revert to correct the damage done to the article. Shadowbot has Imageshack on its blacklist for a reason; if an image is necessary, then users should use Special:Upload to upload the image rather than linking to it. Shadow1 (talk) 19:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Snooky Pryor.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Snooky Pryor.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.
