From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hey DB, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --Shanel 22:44, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your additions. Just a few suggestions:

  1. Please don't sign your work. Your authorship is contained in the article history; please don't mention yourself in the article itself.
  2. Please make your articles... how do I put this... a little less conversational? Things like "don't you just want to give her a big hug" and "maintaining the beauty god gave her" and "you may remember her from" aren't very encyclopaedic.

However, apart from that, your edits look very good. Welcome aboard! :) --Golbez 17:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Sexyeliza.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sexyeliza.jpg. 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}}.

Please signify the copyright information 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. Thank you. Longhair 22:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Rovetoast.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rovetoast.jpg. 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.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:UpLateStudio.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:UpLateStudio.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sue Anne 03:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide

[edit] License tagging for Image:Luger1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Luger1.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:

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to User:Femto, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link.

You idiot. What did you do to my talk page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Bischoff (talk • contribs)

Please be civil. The above is a warning on the edit that you made on the given link. If I made a mistake, feel free to explain it and I will remove it, but it doesn't look like a mistake to me.--Konstable 13:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'll try to be civil in future, Konstable. :) Dan Bischoff 01:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply from Jack

Hi Dan. Knowing who I'm talking to makes all the difference. I'm not sure why you think I've done a lot of stuff in my life. I always feel very under-experienced compared to most people my age (55). I have always valued knowledge over experience, so I seem to have accumulated a lot of trivia. If that gives the impression I've done stuff, well and good. Anyway, why don't you tell us all a bit about yourself on your user page. It doesn't have to be anything flash, just some basic facts about where you are, what you do, your interests (so like-minded people can suggest places of interest on Wikipedia), etc. I get the impression you're an Aussie from Adelaide. Is that right? Cheers JackofOz 20:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Well, somebody contacted you about Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide. I put 2 and 2 together and .... Cheers JackofOz 23:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
