[edit] Image:PICT0144.JPG

I've shrunk your very large picture that you added to the Manhattan Beach, California article. Since it has been a long time since I've been in Manhattan Beach, you might check the description that I added to make sure that I didn't add anything glaringly incorrect. If you upload anymore images, you might think about getting a user account and adding them to Wikipedia:Commons so that all of the different Wikipedias and Sister projects can use the images. You might also think about using a more descriptive file name for the image. BlankVerse ∅ 14:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

This message is regarding the article Haight-Ashbury. Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. And you upload photos by going to Special:Upload. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Haight-Ashbury

You will get blocked for blanking pages. Please stop.—Gaff ταλκ 00:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.—Gaff ταλκ 00:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:50, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

You can go to Special:Upload, select the file from your hard drive, select the image name that wikipedia will use (unless the file name is long, the same one as you use is fine), then select which license the photo is under. Make sure it is one such as the GFDL that is compatible with wikipedia or your image will be removed. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:49, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Go to the article, click edit, add in [[Image:YOUR_IMAGE_HERE.JPG]] and then preview. There are things you can add to align the photo, such as |right. That would look like [[Image:YOUR_IMAGE_HERE.JPG|right]]. Make sure you preview before you make any changes. -Greg Asche (talk) 00:55, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Did some editing

I made my first contributions to Wikipededia on the Manhattan Beach page, in regard to the history of Manhattan Beach section. Of course, I should have read the Wikipedia intro, how to, etiquette, et cetera, before I did so, and I apologize for not following the protocols. When I think of a decent user name I'll register and get an accont.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd advise you that I made several minor edits for typo, useage, and style, and that I made one deletion for a line that seems to be unsupported factually.

Again, sorry for breaking the conventions, and I'll get squared away on Wikipedia soon!

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:EVANTHOMAS_EVANTHOMAS.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:EVANTHOMAS_EVANTHOMAS.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:PICT0028.JPG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:PICT0028.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, 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 have uploaded other media, 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. Thank you.

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:MB_-_02.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MB_-_02.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] License tagging for Image:Cms1 033477-3.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Cms1 033477-3.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Wind_blue_wideweb_470x315,0.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Wind_blue_wideweb_470x315,0.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] AfD nomination of Costa Lingo

Costa Lingo, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Costa Lingo satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Costa Lingo and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Costa Lingo during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. CIreland 06:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
