[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Canada-col.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Canada-col.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] Mademoiselle
Hello, I saw your query over at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page and set up a disambiguation page for you. Please create the album article you wanted at Black Sun (Mademoiselle album) and all will be well. :) NerwenGreen 03:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks NerwenGreen. How woudl I have created that disambiguation page myself (so I know for future scenarios)? Thanks Aslam nathoo 04:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's a bit complex, but here's what I did:
- a) Moved "Black Sun (album)" to "Black Sun (Primal Fear album)" using the "move" tab at the top of the screen (it's to the right of "history"). This caused "Black Sun (album)" to become a redirect page. That is, if I'd left it alone at that point and someone searched on "Black Sun (album)", they would've reached "Black Sun (Primal Fear album)" with a little note under the title that said "redirected from Black Sun (album)." For an example that is still working, try Naked (Marques Houston's song).
-
- b) Editted "Black Sun (album)" - this was possible because, at the redirect note on the "Black Sun (Primal Fear album)" page, clicking on where it redirected from it'll take you to the page without redirecting you. (Try clicking on the little note on the "Naked" example above.) So I deleted the redirect code and replaced it with "{{disambig}}" to get it to become a disambiguation page, then added the text for the two albums (and also some links for "Black Sun" which is a disambiguation page as well). After that maneuver, "Black Sun (album)" was no longer a redirect page.
-
- c) After that point, it's good to cleanup to remove double redirects. That is, if you click on the "what links here" in the sidebar toolbox (under the search box), you get a list of every other page that makes a link to the page you're looking at. So I went down the list and visited each page, found the old link to "Black Sun (album)" and changed it to "Black Sun (Primal Fear album)" to get it to point to the new location.
- All of the code is visible if you click "edit" on any of the pages mentioned above and look at the code. A redirect is coded as "#REDIRECT [[correct page]]". In fact, clicking on "edit" to look at code is how I learned a lot of these tricks myself - it's very useful.
- Hope that was helpful. :) NerwenGreen 07:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
