[edit] Welcome

Hello, Crazy Eddy, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Two other details: First, you can sign your posts on discussion (non-article) pages by typing ~~~~. This produces a signature letting everyone else know who wrote the comment. Also, you should take note of the edit summary box that appears below the editing area: you can put a short description of your changes there. You may want to mark it as a minor edit if it's something like fixing a typo. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! -- stillnotelf is invisible 22:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] on images

Yes, you do need permission to use images found on other websites. Typically it's a copyright violation to borrow an image from another website without permission. The relevant pages you might want to read are Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and Wikipedia:Image use policy. Wikipedia:Copyrights might be useful as well. By the way, THANK YOU for asking this question - many users just upload any old thing they find, ignoring the warnings, and it makes a lot of work for the administrators to clean up illegal images. If you need more help on getting permissions, or what sorts of images are okay, try the Wikipedia:New contributors' help page; copyright isn't my specialty. Happy editing, -- stillnotelf is invisible 23:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are vandals blocked...

Dear Funnybunny,

I am basically still a newcomer as a Wikipedist, even though I've used Wikipedia for years, and am still trying to learn all I can about editing and adding and everything. So I ask you: are vandals blocked if they do just one piece of vandalism? Or must they vandalise a certain article a certain number of times, or vandalise multiple aticles? And when they do vandlalise, who blocks them? Can Wikipedists do this? If so, then how? Thanking you in advance for your help and thanking you for your continuous fight against vandalism. Yours faithfully, Crazy Eddy 07:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. Actually, vandals must have warnings added to their page, usually ranging from general vandalism to blanking articles. Let's say that if a vandal attacks a page twenty times, and hasn't still been warned and if you add that to WP:AIV, the administrator (the user who has special privileges, such as blocking) would not be able to block the vandal. If the person gets up to four or five warnings in a span of about two or three hours, the vandal can be listed on WP:AIV and the vandal can be blocked. Hopefully that answers your question! If you have more questions, I will be more than happy to answer them :-) Funnybunny (talk/Counter Vandalism Unit) 21:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Actually "Warning is not a prerequisite for blocking" - WP:BP#Education and warnings. -- Jeandré, 2007-08-28t20:22z

[edit] My talk page

No, I have nothing to hide. You're just being exceedingly uncivil, and you're threating me as well, and I have no interest responding to you at the moment. For future reference, know that admins hold all the cards - we can block you, lock your page and even prevent from e-mailing other users. So if you do have something important to talk to me about, be civil and cut out the threats. Maxim(talk) 16:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't delete out of personal beliefs. That's the second-fastest way of joining joining this category. I deleted per the deletion policy, and more specifically per the proposed deletion policy. If you read both policies, you'd understand pretty much everything, but as you interested in a specific article, I'll explain. The article was proposed for deletion by another user, whose concern I put in the deletion summary. After 5 days when the user in question tagged, I deleted again, per policy. There is a way to contest the deletion, by removing the tag while it's on the article, and that's why you're given 5 days. I hope that answered your questions. Maxim(talk) 16:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
The user in question, Propaniac tagged for the reasons I quoted it in my summary. And, anyhow, I would suggest your rewrite it completely, as looking over it again it's just a mess, and I think there are copyvios in there as well. Maxim(talk) 16:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Torture in China.

Re [1], Wikipedia's verifiability policy states "Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed." -- Jeandré, 2007-08-28t20:08z

[edit] Speedy deletion of Erich Petersen

A tag has been placed on Erich Petersen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ninety:one 12:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
