[edit] Help has arrived
You wanted some help, here I am! How can I help you? You can ask your questions right here, and I will respond.--Commander Keane 01:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Question: I just wondered how the new page I just made "toy lobster" got changed to "toy:lobster". I'm not complaining as I made a mistake when I entered it initially, I just wondered how somebody noticed so quickly and changed it? Thanks. Fekker 01:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- People are checking the recent changes. That's how I greeted you as well, because I was monitoring the newbie contributions. I guess somebody noticed that there were two entries for the pages and redirected it. You are being watched, isn't that scary ;) Dr Debug (Talk) 01:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Thats not scary, it's reassuring. I like it that you remove nonsense as on the Hitler page which is the page that brought me here via Google. Thanks and Goodnight. Fekker 01:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

- To change the name of a page you use the "move" tab, which is to the right of the "edit this page" tab at the top of each article. You need to be a member for 4 days to be given the ability to move a page - so maybe you don't have the move button yet.
-
- If you look in the history of Toy:Lobster, (here is the link, you can also get there by clicking the "History" tab at Toy:Lobster) you will see the edit "Downwards m (moved Toy Lobster to Toy:Lobster)". You could ask Downwards how they fixed the page title so quickly if you are interested. Hope that helps!--Commander Keane 01:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Gupi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gupi.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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 17:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
