[edit] A few tips

Hello, Kaijan. Welcome to Wikipedia.

A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)

• Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that!
• When you have time, check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
• You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
• If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
• Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

Thanks for the help! Those tips have been invaluable. -- Kaijan 06:12, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Fictional characters

Hi there! Would you join our forum on Wikipedia talk:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Fictional characters. Your knowledge in this subject area is helpful. --wshun 00:33, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] duplicate articles

Hiyas. I thought I'd drop you a link to wikipedia:duplicate articles - it's a good place to nominate articles for possible merging - or seeing what other merges have been proposed. :) Martin

Thanks. I figured there was such a place, but I didn't know how to find it. -- Kaijan 00:24, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] North American birds

Hi, I've just stumbled across North American birds - you've put in a lot of work. I just wonder if it would be easier to arrange the species by relationships (as in List of birds) rather than size/habitat. You could then just copy each of the species lists for the families that occur in NAm, and knock out those species that don't occur in the region. I think most families have a complete species listing now, although some of the larger ones might be subdivided. Just a suggestion - I'm not even a North American. Jim

Thanks for the link -- I'll try what you suggest. Hopefully, that should save my hands from getting any cramps from all that typing. ;) -- Kaijan 13:11, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] JLA

Thanks for your note. I'm sure there are plenty of sites out there detailing the creative history of the title, but I think that is a good summary. - David Stewart 09:20, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Land of the Lost

I just chopped up and disambiguated the Land of the Lost article, as you requested on its talk: page. I don't know anything about the radio series, book, or comics, so please dive in on those at will. :) Bryan 00:34, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Comic book cover date

I think that this is exactly the same practice followed by mainstream magazines: the date printed on the cover is the date at which it is to be removed from the magazine stand. Thus it is approximately the date at which the next issue will arrive. Consequently, how far in the future it is depends on how often the magazine is issued. Time and Newsweek, being weeklies, are dated a week ahead; monthlies, a month ahead; quarterlies, three months ahead; etc. In other words, perhaps the article should be moved to "Periodical cover date." Dpbsmith 00:51, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

That's a very good idea. I'm not as familiar with the way magazines are dated, but I would have absolutely no problem with a new Periodical cover date article which would cover all the bases. Kaijan 10:11, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

You wrote: "which should now be deleted (I don't know how to do that)" — In general, you do that by posting to Votes for deletion. In this particular case, however, I think the redirect should stay. — Timwi 11:18, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elton John

Sorry about the reversion of your reversion. I think the issue is down to us both trying to remove vandalism at the same time and Vandal Proof (which is what I was using) removed your changes rather than the vandal's version (which you have already removed). I am happy to say I didn't suspect you were a vandal for one moment and I apologise for any inconvienience caused. --MarkS 10:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aquaman

Great move on the article! We really gotta try to keep it as condensed as possible. Cheers! —Lesfer ^(talk/@) 18:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Aquaman morefuncomics83 37.jpg

Hello, Kaijan. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Aquaman morefuncomics83 37.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Kaijan. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LoisLane AOSuperman613-12.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LoisLane AOSuperman613-12.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 02:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bassmasters

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Bassmasters, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 05:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of category from your userpage

Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella. Thanks, and please excuse the necessary editing of your user page! ----Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TailspinTommyLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TailspinTommyLogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 22:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
