[edit] License tagging for Image:Bluepill large.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Bluepill large.png. 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 22:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:CIA triad.png

Thanks for uploading Image:CIA triad.png. 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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source 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. YellowDot 01:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SONET

Do you want these pages deleted? I see multiple tags, and some pages have a one edit history. Just double checking. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 01:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply on my talk please.

[edit] How to force a table of contents to appear

See the Table of contents section of Help:Section for full details on tables of contents. The short summary, from the "Standard TOC" subsection of that section, is that:

For each page with more than three headings, a table of contents (TOC) is automatically generated from the section headings, unless:

• (for a user) preferences are set to turn it off
• (for an article) in the edit box the magic word __NOTOC__ is added

With __FORCETOC__ or __TOC__ in the wikitext a TOC is added even if the page has fewer than four headings.

I presume the rationale is that they don't want, by default, to add a TOC for a page without much structure, so presumably the lack of a TOC on the pages you refer to is by design. If you think a TOC is called for on one of those pages, you'd add __FORCETOC__ or __TOC__ to the page's text.

"Fair use" images should be kept to a minimium. They should certianly not be used for humor.Geni 18:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

A PD image would be more acceptable however there would still be the question over how encyclopedic it is.Geni 17:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CMVP_Logo.png‎ now on Commons

Hi,

I was not sure if I could edit your user page, so I'm contacting you here, first. I've uploaded the NIST-made version of CMVP_Logo.png to Commons (see [1]); you might want to update your link to point there (or ask me to do so).

Thanks, Gennaro Prota^•Talk 13:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information Security - Miscellaneous

I had looked at that image earlier but didn't look closely enough. I also wasn't sure what the policy was about linking to an image that was already in another article. I see what you mean about the continuous process. If there isn't any policy about re-using images, go ahead and replace it.

Yes, the onion needs some work. I've been wanting to redo the onion for 3 years now. Someday maybe <grin>

The section on Change Management is copy pasted from an informational presentation I put together a couple of years ago. It is a mostly a synthesis of things I've read and seen in courses, but I don't have a good singular source to cite. I could cite Shon Haris or "Information Technology Control and Audit", but neither would be an accurate citation. What do you suggest?

Still thinking about "multi-level" but haven't figured out how to slip it cleanly into the Classification section.

Didn't look to see who put the poster up there. I like it (though it might be a little Nationalistic).

[edit] Your request for help with interwikilinks

You can link to your German userpage simply by putting de: in front of your username: de:Benutzer:AlephGamma. The link will appear on the left hand side nav bar at the bottom. If you want the link on the page (inline), place two dots in front of the above, like this :de:Benutzer:AlephGamma. You can ask me on my talk page if you have any other questions about interwikilinking.--Grace E. Dougle 17:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Defense in Depth (computing)

An article that you created, Defense in Depth (computing), has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Defense in Depth (computing) Thank you. SkierRMH 05:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 42 Articles

Hi, they may well deserve a separate article, but at the moment (as I tried to explain in my edit summary), Forty-two articles (not Fourty-two articles as you had it) is a redirect to Thirty-nine articles, so if some-one tries to go the 42 articles page from 39 articles, they'll find themselves back on the 39 articles page. such potentially confusing self-referential links are deprecated on Wikipedia. Before addign the link to 39 articles, a proper page on forty-two articles needs to be created over the redirect, or the redirect needs to be deleted so people see a red-link (see WP:RfD).

[edit] Interlink

{{helpme}}

How do I wikilink different language versions in wikicode? I just created a German user page and want to link it to this one. AlephGamma 03:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

You're probably looking to use inline interlanguage links. Assuming you have the same username on German Wikipedia than on English Wikipedia, add:

• [[:de:User:AlephGamma]] on this page to link from here to your user page on German Wikipedia; or
• [[:en:User:AlephGamma]] on your user page at German Wikipedia to link to this user page

You can also combine the above with piped links, to change the wikilinked text that is shown; for example:

• [[:de:User:AlephGamma|My German user page]]
• [[:en:User:AlephGamma|My English user page]]

Hope this helps! —Xhantar^Talk 17:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I reverted back to CIA

I agree. I don't think the Parkerian hexad is widely accepted and I think it is too controversial for the article. I reverted back to CIA but did retain a reference to Parkerian hexad. I used your CIA image.

I don't know what to think of John Y's comments; I'm not sure I agree with him. Sounds a little like sour grapes to me.

[edit] License tagging on PSTN.gif

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Could you please go to Image:PSTN.gif and clarify whether you released this image into the public domain, or just under the GFDL and CC licenses? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 04:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

(replying to message on my talk page) — OK, thanks for the info. I've retagged the image appropriately. It is possible to release the image under both the GFDL and the CC license. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 15:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:PSTN.gif listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:PSTN.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 21:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Dscs3.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Dscs3.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] German Templates

Does anyone know how I can view or access respective German templates like the following english one: Template:Globalize/Germany? I am looking for equivalent German one, i.e. Diese artikel ... nur die Deutsche ansicht...

Do you mean the ones for the German Wikipedia? I don't know if they exist, but you could go there and try finding them. Chances are though, that even if you try the exact translation of "Globalize," their templates probably aren't named the same thing. R ^ParlateContribs_@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 18:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the templates you are searching for are de:Vorlage:Deutschlandlastig (Germany), de:Vorlage:Österreichlastig (Austria) and de:Vorlage:Schweizlastig (Switzerland). The Deutschlandlastig template is full-protected beacause of an Edit-War in 2006. Yours faithfully --M.L 20:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Request

This page contains many "names" from multiple accounts, and it is unclear where the pressing deletion need is. I've blanked the page (archived to history). You can try rebuilding the page after this revision, then let us know what revisions you think need to go. Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 04:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I've pruned your talk history to the last version you posted. Thank you, — xaosflux ^Talk 19:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Monte Massico

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Monte Massico, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Monte Massico is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Monte Massico, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot 06:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of NSA Cryptography

An editor has nominated NSA Cryptography, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NSA Cryptography and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Orange-book-smaller.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Orange-book-smaller.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
