[edit] Commons images on the main page
Hello! When placing a Commons image on the main page, please remember to first upload it to the English Wikipedia and tag it with the {{c-uploaded}} template. Otherwise, it will not be protected (so a vandal can replace it at the Commons and change what appears on our main page). Thanks! :-) —David Levy 12:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi there! Thanks for the tip about putting commons images on the main page. I could be wrong (as don't very often edit the main page), but I don't think that image of suharto is a commons image. I took it from his bio page on Wikipedia. Yes, I protected the image - but am I supposed to upload it to Commons also? Now I am confused - can you clarify the matter for me? Thanks! David Cannon (talk) 12:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
-
- The image in question (Soeharto.jpg) is, indeed, a Wikimedia Commons image. Because no file with the same name exists at the English Wikipedia, it appears here when transcluded. (The Wikimedia Commons serves as a repository of free media that can be used by the various Wikimedia projects without uploading it to each one individually.)
- You can identify a Commons image by looking for the following on the information page:
 |
This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below.
|
-
- Protecting the image page here does not prevent someone from editing the image at the Wikimedia Commons (thereby changing what appears on our main page), as has occurred on several occasions (but did not occur this time). The solution is to save the Commons image to your computer and upload it to the English Wikipedia under the same title (copying and pasting the Commons description and adding the {{c-uploaded}} template). After you've done that, there is no need to manually protect the image (because the main page's protection will automatically cascade to it).
- I hope that I have been of assistance. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. :-) —David Levy 13:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Earl Paulk
David, I noted that you have reverted my edits to the Earl Paulk bio page (of a living person). Taking your admonition in the spirit of fairness and under the extensive guidelines of “do no harm” we do need to begin a dialogue on some “talk page”. If this page is not the place to have the conversation = consensus about edits, let me know specifically WHERE this conversation takes place. Admittedly, I am new to this open architecture style of history reporting so I may lean on you as an expert in this endeavor in order to gain some minor proficiency.
We need to begin a serious dialogue regarding the information posted on the Earl Paulk page as most of it, although factually referenced from credible sources is all based on reported innuendo, accusation, hearsay, and libelous material that has been legally found to be baseless and without merit. Please advise as available as to where the talk page for the Earl Paulk bio page is and I will earnestly begin the consensus building there.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Armenian parties in Lebanon
A tag has been placed on Template:Armenian parties in Lebanon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kinijoji Maivalili
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kinijoji Maivalili, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Kinijoji Maivalili.

[edit] J.S. Bach
This is a response to the J.S. Bach message you left on my page. Sadly, I could not provide any "reputable" sources, so it seems the information originally given by you has been replaced. Thusly, the world now lives in ignorance of the fact that he still has living decendents. Needless to say this irritated me, but oh well. Sorry I could not get any "reputable" sources. --Johnnywhoa (talk) 13:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Christianity in Korea
Hi there. I intended to come here sooner, but was neglectful, and for that I apologize. I've come to thank you, first, for the obvious hard work that you've put into the Christianity in Korea article both as a writer and as an editor. It's a really good article and I've enjoyed working on it. Which brings me to my second point: I hope that the changes I've made haven't offended or annoyed you in any way. My goal is always to improve Wikipedia, but I try very hard not to do that at the expense of the feelings of other editors. I know very well how personal and emotional a writing project can be, and if anything that I've changed bothers you in any way, I hope you'll feel free to talk to me about it. I'm very open to having my own edits edited wherever it can make the article better.
My third reason for posting here is to thank you for reverting the deletion of the last section of the article. As you probably saw, I was unsure about what to do and I appreciate you stepping in. And finally, I want to compliment you on your user page. Not only is it attractive and informative, but I like the sense of openness and friendliness that it presents. Very nice job.
I think that's everything now. :) Thanks again. Have a great week. -- edi (talk) 02:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
