[edit] Your New Article

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Michael Osmond Perry may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable, with reference to reliable published sources. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -FisherQueen 20:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'm Sorry

I Am very sorry about the Michael 'Mikey' Perry and michael Osmond Perry article incident. I did not know that there was a criteria for aricles on people, places and things (nouns). Well I guess i'll stick to trying to help expand articles which meet the criteria. S, May i get a copy of the Michael Osmond Perry article so that I may paste it into my user article? Thank you for your help. Why did some one send me a message saying that I am a fool and I tagged my own article for Speedy Deletion? I mean, I was not aware of it? I just copied and pasted one of my previous articles into it. If this is the way Wikipedia deals with mistakes, there is a need for a discovery of new interactive methods.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Michael_Osmond_Perry"

To get a copy of the article, contact an administrator. This should help. The person who called you a fool was not being very polite... when you copied your article, you also copied the code placed to have it deleted, thus saving other editors the trouble of tagging it for deletion. We're glad to have you around, and lots of people make a few missteps while they're learning their way around, then stay to make Wikipedia wonderful. -FisherQueen 12:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Regarding Unopened messages

Is There a way that unopened (last chance) messages may also be retrieved? Like in a history of some sort?

I'm not positive that I understand the question... if you mean messages on an article's talk page that has been deleted, administrators have access to deleted material. -FisherQueen 22:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] What's my Role?.....Exactly

Hey, what exactly is the role I should play here @ Wiki? I guess the Headline is sel-explanitary.

That's entirely up to you... there are lots of different ways to get involved at Wikipedia, both in creating and editing articles, and in all the maintenance tasks. I started at the Community Portal, which has a section that lists lots of tasks that need working on, and discovered that I enjoyed patrolling recent changes and wikifying pages. If you check out the Community Portal, it'll give you a taste of some of the different jobs Wikipedia editors do, and you can see which ones appeal to you. I don't know everything- I learn as I go- but I'm happy to answer what questions I can. Have fun! -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's Me Again.....Yea

Hey, about the Michael Osmond Perry article. My friends and "management" are trying to get a recording contract with a big company by the end of the year. When I become famous, may I be the one to do the article on myself? I hope it's not considered as vandalism if I entered my birth into the birth section of the article for the date April 9 because I did.

No, Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself or your company because it is a Conflict of interest which makes it very difficult to write a neutral article. When you're famous and well-known, someone else will create an article about you. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Yea Thanks!!!!!!!!

[edit] RE: Do I Know You?

In response to your post on my talk page, I have never taught at Antigua Grammar School, nor have I ever been to Antigua, or Montreal, but wouldn't mind visiting either. By the way, please sign your comment next time. Thank you. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 20:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:MariahShades.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MariahShades.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-no-disclaimers}} 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 19:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Spangineerws (háblame) 19:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. On Wikipedia, only administrators can delete pages and images, so that's why you couldn't figure out how to do it. However, I've taken care of it. If you're successful in getting an image that meets Wikipedia's requirements for addition (basically, that it is licensed in such a way that anyone can use it for any purpose, so long as the author is credited), please upload it. If you have any other questions related to images or anything else on Wikipedia, don't hesitate to ask. Have a great day! --Spangineerws (háblame) 20:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appropriate image licensing

Unfortunately, it's usually not as easy as finding a site online that says "you can use this picture on your website". Wikipedia's goal is to create an encyclopedia that can be converted into any format and used for anything—not just for personal use, and not just online. Thus, to be eligible, all content must be licensed by the creator with a license like the CC-BY-SA (see [1] for the basics). If it just says "you can use this", that's not good enough. It gets rather complicated, so the easiest thing is to take your own pictures, and license them with that license, and then upload them to Wikipedia. --Spangineerws (háblame) 00:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article "Are an admisnistrator?"

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Are an admisnistrator?. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --EarthPerson 21:23, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

(Replied on both) No problem. Just leave it as is and it will get deleted by an admin. Cheers.--EarthPerson 21:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about image licensing

I would say to check Wikipedia:Media copyright questions - I'm not the most knowledgable about images, but they can answer it for you. I believe that the objects in the photos are still of copyrighted items. --EarthPerson 21:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Since You're Watching My Talk Page, Thanks For The Advice. When Will My Question Be Answered? Are You An Administrator? What Does One Have To Do To Become An Administartor? Is It Dependent On How Many Corrections Made To Articles? Is It Dependent On How One Displays Himself (Behavior,etc.)?--Mikey 22:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Response to question at Media copyright questions: No, that wasn't an appropriate license. Although it's great that you actually took the picture, the reason you took the picture was to display such information contained in the image that is copyrighted (packaging, logos, artwork, etc) and thus is a derivative work. You need to immediately change all the licenses from "public domain" to use {{Non-free fair use in}} (and give the article you are using it in) and then write a rationale explaining why the image is copyrighted (the logo, artwork). See WP:FURG for help with that.

To answer your question about admins: to become an admin, you can request it or be nominated by another at WP:RFA. However, you have been here for ~3.5 months and would most certainly fail a RFA attempt. 6 months is a good minimum time. There are links at that page as for what some look for and will probably answer many of your questions about adminship. Remember: adminship is nothing special, it is not a prize or honor. Behavior is largely looked at, as well as knowledge of Wikipedia, policies and contributions. Edit count, once you get to a thousand or two is meaningless. Welcome to WP!

[edit] Just a friendly reminder...

When you are editing articles or creating image descriptions, please remember that not every letter needs to be capitalized (example: in the article Digicel). I went ahead and edited that article, but this is just a reminder for future edits. Thanks, HumanZoom 00:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 5 octaves

Do you really have five octaves? How high can you go? Orane (talk • cont.) 02:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I once once recorded myself go up to G7, but there were times when I went as high as F8 but that was last year. Right now, my voice is not as great as it used to be and I need lots of rest and warm up to do this.--Mikey 14:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:B'dayDeluxe2Discs.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:B'dayDeluxe2Discs.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:LatoyaJacksonsmile.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LatoyaJacksonsmile.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. 13:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MySpace

Contrary to your belief, images added to MySpace do not automatically become public domain. From their terms of service: "After posting your Content to the MySpace Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose." This means that whoever uploads the photos has the rights to use the images, not whoever views it. Metros 13:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your message on Jimbo's talk page

Hi MicP,

Sorry about removing your post from User talk:Jimbo Wales, but considering it had some personal information in it (specifically, your IP address and name), I figured it would be better to err on the side of caution and take it off of the highly-trafficked page.

It seems you've run into a bit of collateral damage from an IP block--specifically, an IP range block. I notice from looking at User talk:76.69.165.83 that you're taking care of it, but I just thought I'd stop by and explain a little bit more about what happened.

A range block refers to the practice of blocking a swath of IP addresses all at once. This is usually done in instances where a given internet service provider assigns its users dynamic IPs that change every time they log on--one user can have a dozen IP addresses in as many minutes. Needless to say, it's impossible to block one of these users when they decide to cause trouble, and so sometimes the only option is to block every IP address they could potentially use. Since the consequences of such a block can be enormous and affect thousands of potential editors, they are considered a last resort and are usually done in such a way that users with registered accounts (like yourself) can still edit like normal. So don't worry about it--the block wasn't targeted at your user account, and you can still browse Wikipedia without logging in or edit while logged in. And once the block expires, everything will be back to normal.

I hope this answers your question! --jonny-mt 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank You. Yes It did answer my question. I think I will disconnect from my network connection and reconnect. Maybe, just maybe, the address will change.---¤÷(`[¤*M*¤]´)÷¤- (talk) 01:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad to hear that helped, but you should be able to edit just fine even with your IP address blocked. I wouldn't worry about it--just go have fun on the wiki! --jonny-mt 01:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know anyone in the area who does this sort of thing. I was in bands for years in England, and although I never made it big I did at least see the process. Best to talk at the meetup, I think, if we can both manage to go - it's a better venue for such discussions anyway. Failing that, you can contact me by email if you wish. Good luck!

I have tagged Image:ITunesStoreWithoutWindowFeatures.png as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article.

Please stop changing the screenshot image in the infobox for the iTunes Store article.
