[edit] My userpage.

Wow, do you have a few hours, it'll take a while to explain it fully (I'm not sure I totally understand it myself). The style is originally from the Italian Wikipedia, but here's how it works in basic form:

  1. The user page calls the template {{TrevorUserPageTab}} which uses two variables, "tab#" and "content", to display what you want in each tabs contents.
  2. The template {{TrevorUserPageTab}} has the variable "title, subtitle," and the variables "1,2,3,4,5" which are the stuff that goes in the blue boxes down the side(but this part also involves {{TrevorUserPageTab/RightColumn}} which was some very tricky code). The {{TrevorUserPageTab}} template also calls a sub-template {{TrevorUserPageTab/Style}} which gives the overall styling of the page. To get the buttons to show correctly you have to add some code to your personal monobook.css. And that's how it works! I think. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 11:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In the future

You can request speedy deletion of your user subpages with {{db-user}}. It would be very much appreciated if you could provide a deletion reason when you use the general speedy deletion tag. Thanks. theProject 01:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

In that case, no worries then. Happy editing. :-) theProject 02:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Chest_freezer_2006.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Chest_freezer_2006.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it, but use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Thatcher131 11:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

{{del}}

May I ask why you would like your talk page deleted? theProject 05:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries. As a general rule, talk pages should be preserved for history, so if you'd like to keep your talk page tidy, I'd suggest either archiving it or blanking it with the edit summary "archiving". Thanks! theProject 15:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Antique reproduction

[edit] Antique reproduction

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Antique reproduction, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Antique reproduction. You may remove the {{dated prod}} template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Jemiller226 00:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chester

Is your cat an American Burmese, or British Burmese, or some other Burmese? I only ask because it seems like all the other pictures in the Burmese cat article are of American Burmese, plus Chester seems to have an ... untypical face-shape in that picture. Skittle 22:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

That's okay. Are you in Australia? He's probably more in the style of British/European/Commonwealth Burmese then. American Burmese have a different body and head shape :-) Skittle 16:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh,a nd if he isn't Burmese all the way back, that probably explains the head shape. Thanks Skittle 16:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:King kong 1933 englehorn.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:King kong 1933 englehorn.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.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Ship1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ship1.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. 10:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
