Hello Linkskywalker welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to join the community. Drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log so we can meet you and help you get started. If you need editing help, visit Wikipedia:How to edit a page. For format questions, visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Newcomers' Village pump. And of course, feel free to talk with me or ask questions on my talk page. Enjoy! --Zeimusu 05:19, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)

One trick that I think is useful is the redirect page. If you create an article with one line like

#REDIRECT[[Online text based role playing games]]

Then anyone who goes to that page gets automatically redirected. Zeimusu

[edit] How to revert a page

If you want to revert a page to an old version:

  1. Open the history for the page you want to revert.
  2. Select the date of the version you want to revert to. You will see the old version.
  3. Edit that old version.
  4. Write an edit summary and (optionally) mark as minor.
  5. Save the page. There will be a warning that you are saving an old version, which you can ignore.
  6. You are done!

Be quick, because if anyone else is editing the newer version, their edits would be lost. There is an (informal) rule that you can only make three revertions a day to a page. It is to stop "revert wars" — Zeimusu | Talk 00:14, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:SchoolyardHeroes BW PromoPhoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SchoolyardHeroes BW PromoPhoto.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 08:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:SchoolyardHeroes_BW_PromoPhoto.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:SchoolyardHeroes_BW_PromoPhoto.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
