[edit] License tagging for Image:Wxscanis2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wxscanis2.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. 23:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] AfD nomination of Normandy road

I've nominated Normandy road, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Normandy road satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Normandy road and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Normandy road during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Fourohfour 14:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Update: Normally the AfDs remain open much longer, but in this case it appears that an admin has decided the subject was clearly non-notable and qualified for speedy deletion. (See the AfD discussion for reasons). Fourohfour 11:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and I hope you join up! Cbrown1023 talk 03:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cartoon Central

A tag has been placed on Cartoon Central, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Cartoon Central. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. Realkyhick 05:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. :( Intelliguy 18:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

{{helpme}} I was wondering if anyone ever created a user template saying that the user lives in Philadelphia? If so, could you edit my profile to add this template? Thanks in advance!Intelliguy 15:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

You may find what you're looking for here. :-) Melsaran 15:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Email tip

You may wish to set your email address in your preferences instead. Just click here, paste it into the "E-mail" field, click "Enable e-mail from other users" and click Save. Then, people can click "E-mail this user" next to your user page and user talk page. I recommend that you do not state it on your user page, as this makes you vulnerable for spam bots. Regards, Melsaran 15:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for the tip. :) Intelliguy 15:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{helpme}} call

Hi. {{helpme}} are used if you have "questions about using Wikipedia" that you would like general help for. It is placed on your own talk page where helpers will answer your query. If you have a question for a specific user, then post it in the user talk page. That do not require a {{helpme}} being posted on that user talk page. KTC 00:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wxscannational.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wxscannational.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:XLCC.png

Thanks for uploading Image:XLCC.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

Good morning

[edit] Question re: templates

{{helpme}} Where can I find the templates people use to advise users that they are vandalizing articles, or otherwise violating the rules? Here's a link to show you what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.39.234.74

Thanks. MikeM2010 (talk) 23:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

You can manually insert these, or you can use a user script like some of the ones listed here. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Twcatmospheres.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Need help with updating images

{{helpme}} Hi, could anyone tell me how to update an image? I tried clicking on the "upload a new version of this file" link on the image, but it ended up showing a completely new image file, rather than an updated version of the same one. Thanks for any help. MikeM2010 (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

That's exactly what you need to do. Which image did you try to update so that I can check the history and maybe figure out what went wrong. --Kimontalk 20:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
This was the image I tried to update. I saw no edits by me in the history section. I think I figured out the problem though. The image was a PNG, and the type of image I was trying to upload was a JPG. Should it work correctly if I try uploading a PNG instead? MikeM2010 (talk) 20:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes. PNG and JPG are two completely different formats and may be screwing things up. When replacing a media file, you have to make sure you are replacing it with another in the same format. Give it a try with the PNG version and let me know. --Kimontalk 21:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay, it worked. Thank you for your help! MikeM2010 (talk) 21:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
No problem --Kimontalk 21:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WeatherSTAR XL vs IntelliStar updates

I'm not sure you if you know or not, and I know it's not a "wiki" kind of question, but do you know if the WeatherSTAR XL received the same LDL updates the IntelliStar received on the 2nd of June? I'm just curious... If it did, the article should be updated, but I just don't know... It would seem logical it received some kind of update... —TRAiNER4 (talk • contrib) 23:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

After seeing videos, it looks like the XL did NOT receive this upgrade. Thus, no need to update the timeline there. MikeM2010 (talk) 02:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
