When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Regarding Copyright Message

Hi, If you haven't already please take a quick look at Wikipedia:Copyrights, if you have already thats fine, but in a nutshell you cannot copy text from another website and add it on here.

Or use pictures that are copyrighted, unless they are pictures that you made yourself.

I hope this answers your question, and happy editing!!!!

Dep. Garcia (Talk to Me) 21:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I have read the article, and that on fair use. Specifically, I have been allowed to use images by the copyright holder for use on Wikipedia. I did state this upon uploading the picture but was thus deleted. Alosel 21:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
A little editors tip for you - when you tag an image with whether you made it yourself or got it off a website always tag it with the tag that you made it yourself, I know its wrong but it works and its less hassle. Any more questions im here till 10pm (UTC). Dep. Garcia (Talk to Me) 21:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes actually! Where can I find a link to the tags?! Alosel 22:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Certainly, you can find them here Wikipedia:Image copyright tags or here Wikipedia:Template messages/Image namespace. I hope you find these useful, if not please tell me straight away. - Sorry i could not answer your question sooner.

[edit] Image:NewNighwishLineup.jpg

Hey. This is not a {{GFDL}} image, but a copyrighted promotional photo from nightwish.com. It can not be used in the Nightwish article as a fair use image either, because we have a free one, even if it has the old singer in it. Prolog 13:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Ressurectionstone.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Ressurectionstone.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. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 20:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Ressurectionstone.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Ressurectionstone.jpg. I noticed 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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 21:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The Goblin Trilogy, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Goblin Trilogy and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

[edit] Ideas about article creation

I've been reading your contributions and the articles you create are very in-depth. However you might want to check how much notability the subject of each article has- has it been mentioned in respected, particularly national press, and so on. Try and avoid writing about subjects with which you personally are closely involved or really keen on- you can edit those articles but maybe don't start them, for the reason that if it's a subject we're close to, our perspective on them isn't so clear. This will help you avoid having many articles deleted- which has happened to me so I know how depressing it is:) It would seem like I was being evil if i was to nominate it, but Pam Evans should go too, and Peace Mala is itself borderline material. You might consider merging the Pam article into there, as was considered previously. I use a basic google search to see how often something has been mentioned, and flick though a few pages to see if any of the sources are well known newspapers etc, before I start an article.Merkinsmum 17:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I get what you mean. It's just I figure these articles are gonna be there at some point or other (not a good reason I know) and I do genuinely believe that most of them do conform to Wiki standards so I try my best to find references for them and whatnot. When I create of edit and article I read back sometimes and realise that the way I've written isn't completely neutral but I try to change that as soon as I notice it... what I do hate are others who edit with the purpose of vadalising the page as has happened with some of the pages. Sorry for any trouble I've caused. ~Alosel~ | (Talk) 18:58, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Of course you haven't caused any trouble. I just hope it hasn't discouraged you too much and you'll keep conttributing etc- it happens to us all.:)Merkinsmum (talk) 22:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Danceofthegoblins.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Danceofthegoblins.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
