User talk:Darkdan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Darkdan. Welcome to Wikipedia.

A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)

  • Check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
  • Sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time.
  • If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
  • Have fun.

FYI, don't move pages by cutting-and-pasting the content. On the left-hand side of your screen, there should be a "move this page" function. Use that and it will keep the page history with the article. Let me know if you have any questions... Tuf-Kat 05:15, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I'm fine.

How are you doing? About the forums section, hey, I do what I do. ;).

The new ULMB wiki looks great. I'm user number two, apparently.

[edit] Westboro proposed move

Hi! You've already voted at Talk:Westboro, so I just wanted to let you know about a very small technical change I just made; I changed the proposed move target to Westboro (Ottawa), a page that already exists as a redirect to the current Westboro page. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 03:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seaview Square Mall

Just want to say thanks for all the work you do with articles pertaining to New Jersey. Also, thanks for the cites on Seaview Square Mall. You're awesome! --Darkdan 04:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the kind words. If it's on my watch list, I feel it's my responsibility to defend the article, all 6,500 of them. I have fought for retention of this and other malls and I hope to stand up for other similar articles and bring them up to standards and beyond. Keep up the good fight yourself.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ppccomp.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ppccomp.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. BigDT 23:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging an IP block

170.140.116.0/24 & 170.140.117.0/24 are being used by the dorms at Emery. I noticed that you tagged the User Talk pages for at least one other IP block with a template saying they were from a university network. Assuming you have some simple way to automate the process, can you either tag the IPs mentioned here or let me in on the secret of how to take care of it myself? Many thanks, MrZaiustalk 16:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Positive_k.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Positive_k.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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. ShakespeareFan00 13:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

Centre 2000 is up for deletion again - you helped keep it once. :-( Also a similar article at Macleod Mall. Please weigh in on the discussion.68.144.31.71 02:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:867-5309.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:867-5309.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Wizardman 23:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Lisa-Loeb-Stay-70436.jpg

I have tagged Image:Lisa-Loeb-Stay-70436.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 14:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:TLC-Waterfalls-65800.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TLC-Waterfalls-65800.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) 06:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
