[edit] Contributing to Wikipedia

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I'd like to let you know that there have been some controversies regarding your contributions to Slovakia and Great Moravia. First off, I'd like to ask you to take a look at Wikipedia: How to write a great article, Wikipedia: Manual of style and Wikipedia:Cite sources before you make other contributions. In the case of the articles I mentioned, please, to make things go smoother, do not edit them again before talking to the other users on the articles' talk pages. Thank you, Redux 04:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem Redux. Only, I am curious, are you an official monitor of wikipedia of just a kid looking to waste time on a chat room?

I believe you have already found out about this since you wrote here, but I am what we call an Administrator, a user with certain extra attributions (some call it "powers") on the website. It is part of my job as an Administrator to help preventing articles from becoming unstable due to differences of opinion between contributors. If you would like to know more about Administrators, please visit Wikipedia:Administrators. Thank you for engaging in discussions regarding the articles in question. I expect Pavel and Juro will have something to say about your posts there, but I believe we've taken a big step towards resolving this, which also means unlocking the article again.

Thanks for the information Redux and have a great week.--Knieza 02:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Knieza, you do not need to ask for permission or supervision to edit on Wikipedia. To help you get better acquainted with how our project works, I'd suggest you take a look at Wikipedia:Five pillars and Wikipedia:Writers rules of engagement. Also, for a broader view of the rules that apply in Wikipedia, please visit Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Regards, Redux 02:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Slovak folk costumes.JPG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Slovak folk costumes.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. Shyam (T/C) 23:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Tatras valley.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Tatras valley.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bastique▼parler voir 22:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
