Five Pillars of Wikipedia

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 01:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Richardsonlohan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Richardsonlohan.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 22:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment.

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Carterandsadat

You said you would remove the nom and haven't, so I've removed it for you. I hope any future nominations that you decide to post fare better. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 16:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia

Footnotes have become mandatory for FA status; I haven't seen a single article in months without footnotes pass the process. They really aren’t too difficult to add; I’ll lend a hand if you need. As for the date-linking, partial dates (January, Tuesday, and in some cases 1520) usually aren’t linked, while full dates (January 12 or February 8, 2006) are usually linked. See WP:MOSDATE#Partial dates. AZ t 16:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delisting

Hi AJ,

To nominate a pic for delisting, you do the same as with nominating for enlisting, except adding the template to the bottom section. I'll walk you through it. If you use Internet Explorer, this can generate quite a few windows, if you use Firefox then this is where tabs really come into their own.

  1. First, open FPC. In the contents list, click '9 Nomination for delisting'. Then click the edit link to the right hand side of the start of the section.
  2. In a new window (if IE) or a new tab (if Firefox), open the nomination procedure.
  3. Open (in another new window/tab) the page Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/ExampleName. This will be used to create your nomination.
  4. And in another tab/windows, (this is the last one) open the image that you want to delist.
  5. Now, go to the 'ExampleName' window/tab. Click in the address bar at the top, and type a suitable name for the page on which you want to nominate the image. For instance, for the Fennec Fox picture, I chose 'Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Fennec'. Remember to replace all spaces in the name with underscores (_). Then, if presented with a 'this page does not exist' box, click 'Start this page'. If you get a voting page instead, choose a different name for your page.
  6. Now go to the Nomination Procedure page. Copy this into that page:
===[[Wikipedia:{{subst:PAGENAME}}|ExampleName]]===

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|Caption goes here]]

Add your reasons for nominating it here; 
say what article it appears in, and who created the image.

*Nominate and '''support'''. - ~~~~ 
*

<!-- additional votes go above this line  -->
{{-}}
  1. Replace all the generic fields except {{subst:PAGENAME}}. You must not change that part. Change the image location to yours, add a description, and change support to delist.
  2. Now save the page. When it's saved, click where it says the name of the page in large letters (including the Wikipedia: bit) and copy that part in large letters into the delisting section of FPC. Put double curly brackets around it ( {{ }}) and save the section.
  3. Your delisting page should now appear in FPC. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some of your comments on the FPC page

We've talked before about the Featured Picture delistings, but I need to comment on the way you are saying things. Several times in the discussion you have accused people of having ulterior motives (here and especially here). I must ask you to please refrain from accusing people in the absence of evidence. I know you disagree with a lot of people in this discussion, but you must understand that everyone is trying to make the best decision for Wikipedia. We have a policy of assuming good faith in discussions, and accusing people of bias is not appropriate. Thanks. Raven4x4x 03:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Please try and be collaborative rather than divisive. FPC should be a friendly place.-Ravedave

[edit] Regarding delistings...

Thank you for your entry on my talk page. I'm happy to see that you've started to leave messages on the talk pages of the uploaders and nominators of the FP's you recommended to be dislisted. I hope you'll continue to leave messages for all nine photographs you nominated on 7/18/2006, including Sango123, who originally nominated the American Eskimo photo. All the best, Bagginz 05:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Olga Alexandrovna Romanova

I am 100% positive. Have a look on Olga N's page. The photo is definitely incorrect. Mstislava 16:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hummingbird Hawk-moth FPC

Hi! You supported the Hummingbird Hawk-moth FPC (like everyone else who commented), but HighInBC uploaded an edit that absolutely no-one commented on. I can't promote the image without knowing which version to promote, so now I have to ask everyone which version they prefer. Would you mind specifying which image you are supporting? Thanks. Raven4x4x 09:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Coronationegg.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Coronationegg.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. Liftarn 16:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replacement

There is quite a difference between the proposed Monopoly board replacement and this situation. For the most part, Monopoly boards look alike. The key reason people wanted a replacement was to get a higher-res version. At that time, the current FP was up for delisting, so it was at least feasible that people who start voting there if someone nominated a better image on FPC. In this situation, however, the current FP is far different from the proposed replacement, and there are multiple previous failed votes for delisting. Regardless, there are only nominations for FP, and nominations for delisting. In the future, you should nominate for FP, and if it wins, then nominate the other image for delisting. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-09 20:06

  • I think so. It would be too tempting for voters to vote based on their dislike for the current FP, rather than the merits of the nomination. Over time it could potentially degrade the collection of FPs. I'd suggest proposing an addition to the rules/guidelines on the WP:FPC talk page. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-09 20:15

[edit] Re: delisting question

When closing a delisting nomination (or a regular nomination) I need to look for consensus, not a simple majority. In this case, a two-thirds majority to delist would be the absolute minimum I would need, and even that is probably too low. 9/7 in favour of delisting cannot be considered consensus to delist, so the image was retained. Raven4x4x 00:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Papal image

It isn't usuable for the papal box. Wikipedia has been following a deliberate policy with the use of the papal image in the papal boxes. The image to be used should show the Pope

  • preferably wearing full diplomatic and ecclesiastical attire, and
  • preferably enthroned or in an official portrait.

Where neither of the above are available, then the choice is of the Pope in his white cassock.

Images that show the Pope in a non-formal setting (i.e., in an official pose but not the official one) or at least in a semi-formal setting wearing a particular set of vestments, are usable in the box. Pictures of a pope doing anything else wearing anything else are not used in that box. The reason for that is consistency. All photographic images across the articles follow the same format to provide a visual motif for the page. So pictures of popes kissing the ground, in the process of saying Mass, giving Communion, or anything else, are not used in that box. If placed there they are invariably removed almost instantly by users. The image I put in, though not of best quality, matches the standard images in terms of dress used in the papal boxes. The image of him saying Mass is only suitable for use somewhere else on the page. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:KirstieAlley.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:KirstieAlley.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. 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 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. --Yamla 00:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opus Dei

AJ, I noticed your comments on the Escriva page, and they served as the final proof to me that the Opus Dei articles has systemic NPOV problems. Therefore, I have done a major rewrite on the Opus Dei article and am requesting comments on its talk page. Could you look it over and comment on whether the rewrite is an improvment and maybe help out in the ensuing discussion? --Alecmconroy 08:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment on my talk page. Could I ask you just to chime in at the RFC itself saying that you feel the rewrite is an improvement over the old article? (assuming of course I'm correct in saying you feel that way) There may be more edit-warring of the article, trying to delete the rewrite, and if so, I want it to be easy for admins to see what a strong consensus supports the rewrite. We've already had to do one ban on this, there may be more, and if everyone responds in the same place, it will be much easier for the admins to quickly understand the situation. Thanks so much for your help. --Alecmconroy 23:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HI there

I saw your question on the FA talk page, and decided to take a look at the Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia article. While it reads well, it (as you already know) needs to be inline referenced. Which is why I dropped by here: I notice you have included Wikipedia as one of the references. If you are going to submit this to FA (or even if you don't actually) that will need to be dropped from the article. Wikipedia articles cannot use other Wikipedia articles as references. What you can do, however, is go into the edit history and use their references to support your assertions, wherever possible. Hope this was a bit of a help. Good luck. Jeffpw 05:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean this: Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna? Or did you mean you want to shorten it for the article title? If you meant the former, go into the edit here to see how I did it. If you mean the latter, I haven't a clue...:-) Jeffpw 21:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Topor

Nope, sorry. I just copyedited the article. -Yupik 17:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Versacelogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Versacelogo.gif. 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:Donatella-versace.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Donatella-versace.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.

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:3versace.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:3versace.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 17:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Institut Le Rosey article

You wrote -

Thanks for your recent contribution to the Institut Le Rosey article. As a precaution due to past severe vandalism, most edits need to be cleared by a consensus on the article's discussion page. Currently, we are discussing the list of Le Rosey alumni and are adding referenced alumni to the list. We have yet to move into the main text of the article. The Le Rosey article is unique in that there is very little public information available about the subject of the article and there are even fewer individuals who have even heard of the subject. For future contributions please bring it up in the discussion page. Many thanks, AJ24 23:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC).

I beg your pardon, but would you mind explaining these statements? There is nothing at the head of the Institut Le Rosey page to say that all edits will be reverted by 'us' unless cleared by 'us', and the notion that "most edits need to be cleared by a consensus on the article's discussion page" strikes me as not being how Wikipedia works! Regards, Xn4 23:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I do not see how you could be angry. I informed you that signficant changes need to be addressed on the discussion page before being made. Your edits were significant. As for your assertion that it is not Wikipedia policy to operate that way, you should know that Wikipedia is about working together with fellow Wikipedians so that the articles are as neutral as possible. It is very obvious that the article needs to be edited, but editing the Le Rosey article must be done orderly and with more than one opinion. "Cleared" was perhaps the wrong word to use, but regardless of my wording, it is always appropriate to read the discussion page of any article before editing it. If you had, you would have noticed there are many issues being discussed that require the opinions of many Wikipedians. I invite you to join in on the discussion. I am very sorry if it seems that I was brushing off your edits. Editing the Le Rosey article needs to be done in steps. Sorry for the confusion, -- AJ24 00:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC).
Well, thank you for your apology, AJ24, but I don't see any anger in my comments above! It isn't at all clear to me who you mean by 'we'. Vandalism should be reverted, no doubt, and wrong edits should be corrected, but reasonable ones should be accepted or else improved on. You say "editing the Le Rosey article must be done orderly and with more than one opinion", and I can agree with the first part of that, but on the second part of it it is hard to see why that should apply to this article and not to all others. Regards, Xn4 01:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
As you suggested on my Talk page, I have copied this discussion to Talk:Institut Le Rosey - if there is more to say, no doubt that is the best place. Regards, Xn4 12:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:LeRosey1.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:LeRosey1.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:LeRosey1.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:LeRosey1.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Listing Institut Le Rosey at WP:GA/R was not appropriate. GA/R is for the review of various GA decisions (GAN passes and fails, delistments, etc.) You are looking for WP:PR. Regards, LaraLove 05:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gianni.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gianni.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Rettetast 10:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On Institut Le Rosey

For the two sections that I assume are there to warn about future information for this subject, depending on how far off the events will be and how much new information will really be coming in realistically, you might be able to convince someone that there won't really be much instability in regards to those sections. There are some people who feel that if an article has a future event tag on it that it automatically fails the stability criteria, but I am not one of those people. If you can lay out a strong case for those sections not being able to ever become seriously unstable, then even if you fail an initial review of the article for GA status, I think you might pass a GA/R. However, i'm not sure how many people really give any leeway at all with the future event stuff, there was a GA/R several months ago over the next Star Trek movie which comes out in 2008 or something, and people still said that it would be unstable. (How it could possibly maintain an unstable status all the way up until it is released is beyond me.) Homestarmy 17:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Istananuruliman.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Istananuruliman.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, 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, 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:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 21:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. KFP (talk | contribs) 21:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Westwing2.jpg

I have tagged Image:Westwing2.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Rettetast 18:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Le Rosey

I'm not too familiar with the GA process but from what I've seen the criteria seem to be applied more strictly than they were in the past. As far as I can gather there shouldn't be any copyright problems for images in a good article. I suspect you will have a hard time justifying the inclusion of your 1960s photo. See: Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. However, I'm not an expert so you might like to ask for advice at Wikipedia:Copyrights or you could just go for the GA nomination again when you're ready and see what they say. I would have thought your best bet to be on the safe side would be to get someone who lives near the school to take a few current photos for you and upload them to Commons. Otherwise the article looked pretty good to me. I've already put my suggestions on the talk page and I don't think there's much else that needs doing. Good luck!
