Tip of the day...


Inserting a picture in an article

The syntax used for displaying an image is:

[[Image:{name}|{type}|{location}|{size}|{caption}]]

Only [[Image:{name}]] is required. The other details are optional and can be placed in any order. They are:

Type 
'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.
Location 
'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.
Size 
{width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 and height to 40). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to.
Caption 
Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader wouldn't have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image.

If you have a picture that isn't already in Wikipedia's image collection that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first.

[edit] Personal Identity

Firstly, I am completely with you on the merge issue. You need to go to the discussion about that at Talk:Self (philosophy) and make your view clear.

Secondly, while I accept that strategically adding a whole load of material to Personal identity is going to retard efforts to merge it with Self, the material you've added isn't encyclopedic. I accept that you want to use it as a starting point for a discussion, but in the meantime you're going to have a lot of people, including my own first year students, cruising through Wikipedia and hitting this article which is POV, improperly referenced, unsectioned and inwikified. I'd urge you to do some revisions, etc. Maybe stick it in a sub-page of your userpage and link to that from the Personal Ident talkpage for others to be able to come and look at and edit. mgekelly 14:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

  • On reflection, you are right of course, its not the best way to get an article started. Im off to make the appropriate edits now, thanks for the welcome! Orgone 17:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response to your ev psyche suggestion

  • Hi. I left a response to the following suggestion that you made on the ev psyche discussion page:
    • "I would also suggest getting rid of most of the material dealing specifically with evolutionary theory, we can have a link to that, this page should focus on Evolutionary Psychology." at [1]

[edit] ToK System

  • Here's something else you might find intersting: The Tree of Knowledge (ToK) System:
Here's the Official website.
Here's the ToK paper. Who knows, maybe this would make for a good Wikipedia article! EPM 23:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New discussion at Ev Psyche

[edit] Self

Good work. Can you clean up this sentence in the introduction: "To wit: The Self is he/she from whom there is but one escape." It is not exactly encyclopedic. Rintrah 16:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evolutionary psychology forum

I thought that you might be interested to know that there is an evolutionary psychology forum over at the Psychology Wiki. It was set up a little more than a month ago but still hasn't been used yet. I'll inform other Wikipedians who I think may be interested, as well. EPM 21:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deletion warning: Jennifer Mundale

  • The page you have edited on Prof. Mundale has been listed for proposed deletion. I have removed the deletion tag, which stops the process for the moment.

She seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:

  • looking like an encyclopedia article not a CV
  • saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" (whatever applies). Use the exact word: "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what people look for here.
  • not going into disproportionate personal details
  • listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets
  • listing important awards
  • listing important memberships and offices held
  • listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible.
  • listing some major published papers, say how many.

and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very unfortunately, prejudice against people from the academic world.

If you do not do this immediately, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. If this happens, just recreate it, but take you time--maybe in a week after careful preparation I apologize for not having the time to help personally. DGG 21:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up on that, ive done my best to pad the article out. Could still do with substantial improvement probably, but should be saved! Orgone 23:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:PantherBooks.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PantherBooks.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. 23:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EP

Firstly, EP is significantly different from sociobiology (see this and this by Leda Cosmides and John Tooby). Secondly, sociobiology is most certainly not discredited, in fact, it's the central approach of modern biology, see The Triumph of Sociobiology by John Alcock. So, no, it should neither be a cat nor a see also IMO. Mikker (...) 17:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks for pulling me up on my changes. I decided to join Wiki and get a username. Here I am. No more monkey business, I promise! -Brad.


[edit] Wiki for Evolution and Human Behavior?

Hi Orgone. I was wondering...what do you think of the idea of creating a wiki for evolution and human behavior. I'm thinking along the lines of a wiki that would focus on things like evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology, dual inheritance theory, etc. Something that would detail all of the theories, hypotheses, models, researchers, programs of study, institutes, etc. in this area. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Have a good one! EPM 20:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Hi Orgone. Thanks for your response. I recently proposed the idea here. Thanks for telling me about EvoWiki. However, I was already aware of this wiki. Their focus there seems to be on arguing against creationism. I was thinking about something that focused exclusively on evolution and human behavior in great depth...more than what would be allowed on Wikipedia. Something that might attract a significant number of experts in this area from the beginning. I'm currently having an e-mail exchange with a professor who is interested in the idea. Feel free to leave more messages on my talk page, or the forum link I posted in this response. I'm very interested in your input. EPM 19:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

You Wildness AfD appears to be incorrectly formatted. Please follow the steps outlined at WP:AFD. Thanks, Deiz talk 06:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Orgone, the wildness page has been deleted, even with the improvements. Any way to get it back? Cheers --Lauriec 21:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your efforts in getting this topic another hearing.--Lauriec 22:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC) And for then adding significant improvements--Lauriec 03:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)I'm happy with the various directions the article has taken. The Wildness in human Psychology part could be expanded, but i think it is fine a the moment. I'll be interested to see if anyone else will attempt some changes.--Lauriec 01:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DRV

Thanks for the heads up. I have no objections to the article being relisted. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 12:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

One note, however: do not remove RfA tags before said RfA has been closed. Otherwise, keep up the good work. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 13:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD's

Don't let one incident get you down (I've flubbed things too, including the same AfD!). There is alot of crap on here that needs deleted, so keep your chin up. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 17:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:PantherBooks.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:PantherBooks.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 12:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Air O'Smith

A tag has been placed on Air O'Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.Toddst1 16:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of "Freshen Up" toilet attendants

An editor has nominated "Freshen Up" toilet attendants, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"Freshen Up" toilet attendants and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ominwiki

Hello. Could you please make your convenient script to display toolbars? I tried myself but I'm not that smart and it didn't work. Thanks. —Coastergeekperson04's talk@Feb/14/08 00:42

In the Firefox (2) web browser (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/) there is a Bookmarks toolbar, if you save the Omniwiki link/script as a Bookmark (the equivalent of a Favorite in IE) in the "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder", it will be conveniently displayed in your browser.
To achieve the same thing in IE (7), you can use the Links bar. To enable the Links bar click the "Tools" button, then "Toolbars", and then "Links". To add a shortcut to the Links bar click the "Add to Favourites" button, and then click "Add to Favourites". In the "Add to Favourites" dialog box, click the "Create" In dropdown list, and then select "Links".
Hope that helps!
(PS. I have noticed that the Omniwiki link does not work from inside Gmail, you have to copy/paste manually, annoying but oh well!)
