[edit] Custom signature
I found the following very useful information on ViperBlade's page:
[edit] Custom signature help
A lot of people have trouble getting their custom signatures to appear by typing ~~~~, so I've made this little guide to help anyone that needs it.
- First of all, create a custom signature by going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:###/Sig and creating a page (where ### is your username).
- On your new "/Sig" page, click "edit this page" and type out your custom signature. Mine is <big>''' [[User:ViperBlade|<font color=#00D500>ViperBlade]] '''</font></big><sup><small>[[User_Talk:ViperBlade|<font color=#008800>Talk!!]]</sup></small>
- After previewing and editing until you're happy with your sig, save the changes and click "my preferences".
- In the "Signature" text box, type "{{SUBST:User:###/Sig}} (where ### is your username). Check the "Raw signature" checkbox and save your preferences.
- Go to the sandbox and test everything works. Simply typing ~~~~ and previewing should show your new signature and timestamp.
This is the result of my custom signature: Fenrisulfr talk 19:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use
I've answered your comment on my user talk page. I've posted a few questions as well. Maybe I should have posted here, I don't know... Anyway, please take a look when you find the time :) Fenrisulfr talk 14:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the quick response :) Made it all much clearer. One last question though: You mentioned I could try Flickr. Am I to understand that Flickr is all free content? Fenrisulfr talk 14:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, it's not. Sorry if I was confusing. Next to each image on Flickr, you can see copyright information. Some say "All rights reserved". These, of course, are not free. Some say "no rights reserved", or say that they're in the public domain, or that anyone can use them for any purpose. These are free. Others say they are licensed under a "Creative Commons license". These may or may not be free -- it depends on the specific license. If the image is released under the Creative Commons Attribution license (cc-by} or the Creative Commons Share-Alike license (cc-by-sa), then it's free. But if it's released under a Creative Commons "no derivatives" (-nd) or "non-commercial" (-nc) license, then it's not free. Complicated, isn't it? If you have questions about a particular photo, I can help. Also, sometimes if I find a good photo on Flickr that isn't under a free license, I try e-mailing the photographer. More often than not, the photographer is honored that I want to use the photo on Wikipedia, and is willing to release it under a free license. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hehe... sort of complicated, yes. Glad I didn't become a lawyer ;) Anyway, thanks for all the help, I understand a lot more now. You'll probably hear form me again if I find other images that need attention. Se you around... Fenrisulfr talk 14:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
