[edit] style

I get the feeling that any copyvios I find in your contributions are in fact copies of your own work. To prevent others flagging your articles as copyvio, it might be an idea to put a note somewhere on the web like a discrete corner of http://www.chivalricorders.org to say that Wikipedia has permission to use your work and place a link on user:GuyStairSainty to that release notice. Unfortunately there is a lot more to contributing to Wikipedia than just dumping a long screed of prose - the guide to writing better articles will give you some clues. Break the article up with section headings, create wikilinks, create incoming wikilinks ie. links to your articles from existing articles, add pictures, etc. But do keep contributing! -- RHaworth 19:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

from email. My text on chivalric orders has actually been substantially revised and expanded, with many new documents, for Burke's World Orders of Knighthood and Merit of which i am general editor. Inevitably there is a confluence of texts between anything I write. I thought that I could add external links, etc, later.
I have no problem with some kind of credit authorization being given, if you want to include it. How should I do this? -- user:GuyStairSainty 2006 Feb 24

As I said above, place a note somewhere in http://www.chivalricorders.org to say that Wikipedia has permission to use your work. Place a link on user:GuyStairSainty to that note. That will establish that you (ie. the Wikipedia user name) are who you claim to be (not that I really doubt you).

Then in any article that uses a substantial amount of material from chivalricorders.org add a note pointing out that it is used with permission and pointing to your user page. This should be done in the edit summary, by HTML comment, ie. <!-- comment --> or on the article's talk page - preferably all three! This will prevent people tagging you articles as copyvios. Actually, the best way to prevent them doing that is to write in proper Wikistyle in the first place! -- RHaworth 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Constantinian Order

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, Constantinian Order, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved. Happy editing! Ladybirdintheuk 10:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Fine, but the text that you refer to as copyrighted is my own text, that I have published elsewhere; it seems rather silly to suggest that someone cannot use extracts from their own text.

[edit] Images

Dear Mr. Stair Sainty;

I feel that it would be helpful if you reviewed WP:XIMG in order to better understand the proper formats for images on Wikipedia. It is problematic for some at first, but the linked article explains aspects such as image size in detail. Charles 16:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prince D. Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria, Infante of Spain

The page for The Duke of Calabria already exists at Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria. I have moved the page to a subpage in your user space considering a lot of the material exists at the previously existing article. This way the material you have written is preserved and can be added to the original article. The title Prince D. Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duke of Calabria, Infante of Spain has been made into a redirect page for Infante Carlos, Duke of Calabria. Charles 16:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Request

If you ARE Guy Stair Saint, perhaps you could upload an image of yourself for the Wikipedia article that discusses you. Of, you could give permission for one online to be used. If...--Eva bd 18:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image on biography--Request date of Birth

I was able to ascertain a photo and placed it on the biography Guy Stair Sainty. Is it possible to know the month, day and year of the Guy Stair Sainty so we can add it to the biography?Bnguyen 10:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Sanjanbdge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sanjanbdge.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 03:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
