[edit] Warhammer 40,000

Hi! I noticed that you seem to be interested in Warhammer 40,000. If you are, I would just like to tell you about the WikiProject that has been set up in order to try and co-ordinate the efforts put on the 40K related articles. Cheers -Localzuk ^(talk) 11:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

That sounds like a cool idea. At the moment I am trying to update all the Space Marine Chapters with the Table Template thingy. I have a whole load of White Dwarves so just tell me what needs to be researched and I will.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dark hummingbird (talk • contribs) .

As you will see, most of the articles that are on Wikipedia regarding Warhammer 40,000 are unreferenced. If you could provide any references as per WP:CITE, WP:V and WP:RS that would be excellent. Also, I was retrieving the shoulder badges from the UK games workshop site (there is a link to a gallery of chapters on the Space Marines page) - so if you would like to upload images that would be great.

If you would like to add any extra rows to the chapter template, take a look at the template it self Template:Infobox Warhammer 40,000 Chapters. Also it might be worth looking into conditional boxes (ones that don't have to be filled in) so we don't have to go back and add extra detail to those that the infobox already is in use on. An example of a template with conditionals is the Template:cite book one. Hope this helps :)

Oh and also, remember to sign your comments on talk pages. This is done by typing four tildes like this ~~~~, or by clicking on the signature button above the edit box (second from right).-Localzuk ^(talk) 11:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced images

Hi. I notice you've uploaded some 40k images, but you haven't given a source for any of the images. Without this, it is impossible for others to verify the copyright status of the images, so they will have to be deleted. Also, I don't think that {{logo}} can really be used for fictional organisations - it's intended for real corporations, etc. Cheers --Pak21

[edit] Warhammer articles

Hi. A couple of points. First, when you're creating articles such as Caledor or Tethlis, please mention somewhere early on that you're discussing fictional characters in a fantasy world. Putting timelines in which look like real-world historical fact is confusing in the extreme. It doesn't take much, just something along the lines of

Tethlis the Slayer is a fictional character from Warhammer Fantasy.

word it as you wish as long as it's clear.

Second could you try to conform with Wikipedia style as above (the subject of the article repeated, perhaps with some expansion, in bold as early as possible.

And third, it's "calendar", not "calender". I've renamed Imperial Calender and Sigmarite Calender and cleaned up a few articles, but it would be less work all round (and fewer redirects) if you spelt it right in the first place.

Thanks a lot.

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:13thcompany.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:13thcompany.gif. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check 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.

[edit] Improving the Warhammer content

I'm afraid I can't help you with setting up a Wikiproject as I haven't the foggiest idea to go about it. Localzuk mentions above that there's a Warhammer 40,000 project; is that a different thing? (pardon my ignorance but I haven't really a clue what Warhammer is). Maybe you should talk to Localzuk. As for navigation templates the best adivice I can offer might be to look at something like Lord of the Rings or His Dark Materials to se how they are organised. Sorry I can't be of any more specific help. Cheers. Tonywalton | Talk 20:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphanbot is not spamming you. It is performing a community service by warning you that unless you take action the images you have uploaded will be deleted. The two messages above are for two different images that are going to be deleted unless source information is provided in conjunction with the fairuse claim. --Martyman-(talk) 22:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:BraganzaDOW.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] IMPORTANT! READ THIS!

I noticed you left a message called IMPORTANT! READ THIS! [1]. I would suggest a more appropriate title like == Too many Pictures == instead of == IMPORTANT! READ THIS! ==. Also when you sign --~~~~ It is understood that it is a signature and you don't have to state it its--~~~~

ALSO REMEBER TO TURN YOU CAPS LOCK OFF. THEIR IS NO NEED TO SHOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edit] Leaving Wikipedia

I'm sorry to hear that so many things are causing you to leave Wikipedia - I hope that if you do leave, you eventually come back - not everything is so bad! -- Nataly a 16:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I may come back... Its just some things about the Wikipedia system, such as the BOTs for instance, take away the community sense of Wikipedia... I've never had positive feedback... EVER. BTW, thanks for the support. Dark Hummingbird 20:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that you're leaving. Hope that you return. Anonymous _anonymous_Have a Nice Day 13:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I do hope you will come back. Always remember that Wikipedia is there to educate the millions out there who read it. and don't realise that it is written by ordinary people like you and I. And also remember that if you are doing a good job, you probably won't have feedback. But you will indirectly. For example, I recently read a blog from some old US army vets discussing some old WW2 memories, and they gave a reference in Wikipedia to something I had written about WW2, and verified that it really was just like that. That gave me great satisfaction. That is what is really important, not some BOT or out of control admin. Wallie 16:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:RavenGuard.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:RavenGuard.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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.

[edit] Image:SOiL.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SOiL.jpg. I notice 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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -Panser Born- (talk) 12:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:AsarnilTheDragonLord.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AsarnilTheDragonLord.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pickaxe.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Pickaxe.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 07:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SOiL (album).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SOiL (album).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
