[edit] Re: Welcome

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I am pleased to be part of the Wikipedia community and looking forward to contribute as much as I can to this website. However, I have a question. I am very interested in the U.S. Congress and I have seen many pages of current U.S. Senators who have "served with: _____ ". It looks really bad and was wondering, how I can create a template, like the on that has "Political Offices" UnitedStatesIndia 02:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I follow. Can you give me an example of one of the articles that looks bad? —Wknight94 (talk) 03:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your edits to various elected officials

Please stop editing the articles about various elected officials to reflect events which have yet to occur. Per WP:CRYSTAL, your edits are inappropriate. Thank you. ThuranX 05:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Additionally, I noticed that you occasionally transpose the successor and predecessor fields, such as you did in Jerry McNerney where you stated that he had no predecessor and that Richard Pombo was his successor. Doopokko 01:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:MCCASKILL.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] Image:MCCASKILL11.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MCCASKILL11.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. tomf688 (talk - email) 00:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:BLACKMUNSCOTUS.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BLACKMUNSCOTUS.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. 03:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:REAGANWH.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:REAGANWH.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. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

Thank you for uploading Image:BLACKMUNSCOTUS.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- SteinbDJ · talk · contributions 22:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Over 100 edits to succession boxes today

Please, could you explain the rationale here for over one hundred edits to succession boxes, from this edit at 00:01 through this edit at 03:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC), which may need to be reversed? Thank you. — Athænara ✉ 06:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

"Hi, I am editing U.S. Senators and whom they served with during their term. All these edits are legal given that it is their "political offices" addition. UnitedStatesIndia"   [20:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)]
In re reply (above) on my talk page: It seems to me that the "served alongside" information belongs in the Senate term section of each succession box, not bumped to the end as in your edits, so I'm asking about the standard on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Succession Box Standardization#Over 100 edits to succession boxes today. — Athænara ✉ 20:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
The way in which you;ve changed the succession boxes is very confusing to people reading the page. Please stop.--Dr who1975 21:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Dr who1975: could you comment also on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Succession Box Standardization#Over 100 edits to succession boxes today? (I repaired only a half dozen or so of these 100+—I see you've fixed far more!) — Athænara ✉ 22:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey there, I think I got them all. UnistedStatesIndia, if I reverted any of your non succession changes I apologize. I want to stress here that no one is accusing you of vandalism. For it to be vandalism, you would have to knowingly do something against agreed upon standard (i.e. if you continue to do it... you will be guilty of vandalism). In any event, I want you to know that I apreciate how you were bold about this; boldness is good, but the caveat to boldness is that once a group of users has told you that you made a mistake, you heed them. And I'd say a group of users has done so. Myself and 3 other users have been working reverting the edits to the succession boxes. There are wikiprojects, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Templates that decide these things... and one general tenate of the succession boxes is that information relating to that succession does not go outside the box. Any exceptions you see are just that... exceptions, not the rule. If you have any more questions please let me know.--Dr who1975 23:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:COLEMAN SENATORS.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:COLEMAN SENATORS.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Bridgeplayer 21:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
It's listed because it's being used to identify the senator, not as critical commentary on the television program (as stated is required in the fair use template you tagged it with). You can't use a fair use image from a television program to identify the individuals on the screen, only to illustrate the television program or discuss it. Leebo T/C 19:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improperly used TV screenshots

Hi, can I ask why you're still uploading and improperly using television show screenshots to identify the individuals on the screen? I told you earlier today that you can't do that, and I expected you to discuss it rather than going right on uploading more. Please discuss this. Leebo T/C 00:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Please understand, you can upload TV screenshots, but only if they are being used to discuss or illustrate the TV show - not the people on the TV show. Leebo T/C 00:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
