[edit] Spoiler warnings and edit summaries

Welcome to the Wikipedia. I have noticed your The West Wing related edits and I wanted to inform you about the usage of spoilers in the context of television shows. Although the epsiodes revealing information in the article may have already aired, not everyone has seen them. We have to view the information in the article as if we had never seen the show. What would be considered a spoiler for us? Frankly, everything would be. Therefore, I have replaced the spoiler tags that you removed on several articles. Also, when you are making edits to any article, please be sure to use an edit summary to let others know what you did. I hope you enjoy editing and stick around to help us out. If you have any questions, please ask them at my talk page. — Scm83x talk 03:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries are supposed to do just that: summarize your edit. So, sample edit summaries might be
  • fixed minor grammar mistake
  • reworded awkward sentence
  • added {{wikify}} tag
  • added paragraph his work at Bell Labs
For examples of edit summaries, go to my contributions and look at the summaries. They are in the parentheses next to each edit. If you have any questions about what any of the abbreviations mean, let me know. Edit summaries are very important to many editors here on Wikipedia; Usage of edit summaries is a noted characteristic of any editor when they decide to become an administrator. I hope that you better understand the concept now. — Scm83x talk 05:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] http://www.leaderslair.com/marvelvillains/

Please stop copying text directly from this website to Wikipedia. I realize that you are not attempting to plagiarize, since you are citing your source - however, this is still not considered acceptable fair use. Feel free to quote sections of other websites as part of a larger article, though. Alternatively you could paraphrase the content of that website. Thanks! — flamingspinach | (talk) 19:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but that's not sufficient - please do not create the articles until you have written original versions. Even if you intend to change it later, it's still a copyright violation. After looking at your contributions page it seems that you have created a large number of such articles recently. While your contributions are appreciated, Wikipedia is not a repository of content from other websites - it is a collection of original articles. Creating original content does not mean "fixing" copyvios, like implied in your comment on my talk page. — flamingspinach | (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The best policy is probably just to write your articles from scratch, after doing research and learning about whatever your article is about. This will generally make it the most readable and avoid copyright problems to the greatest extent. Remember, just because an article on something doesn't exist, doesn't mean that you have to (or should) just create one. Articles deserve a little meat on their bones, and a little dedication from their creators. I tend to be the type to catch and fix errors, partly for that reason. When it comes to copyright, just remember that the only ways you can be totally sure that you're not violating copyright is to 1) write it from scratch or 2) get the author's explicit permission. — flamingspinach | (talk) 06:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Re: Rick Jones

Sorry I didn't reply, I must have missed your question about Amateur radio in popular culture Rick Jones (comics) has a relation to Amateur radio in popular culture through the Teen Brigade. It is mentioned in both articles (though I just added Rick Jones specifically to the section about it on Amateur radio in popular culture article. See notations on the History page of Rick Jones.

[edit] Late, as usual

Meant to do this days and days ago - thanks for your help on List of gay porn stars; it was definitely time for three columns instead of two. I've spent a fair amount of time getting the page cleaned up, and I really, really, really appreciate the help! (Really!) Have good days.—Chidom talk  05:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:DCFC0014.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:DCFC0014.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BJTalk 04:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
