[edit] The World Cup

I have tried to search for the World Cup on Wikipedia, I found it under football World Cup, surely the football is unnecessary. This article will get more and more hits as kick off approaches. Now that we have all the countries the sheer global sense of the competition becomes more clear.

I often think that the sense of the world as a single community is most visible during the world cup final when the entire globe settles down before its (metaphorical) fireplace, and (real) television sets to watch a single sporting event. - Pat McDonald 19:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

It had not even crossed my mind to check for spelling variants. Thank you, though, for seeing to the page. Saints fascinate me, as their lives mostly aren't that different from the ordinary. Happy Holidays! Trjumpet 03:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

==Image Tagging [[:Image:10070005 going under bridge.jpg ]]==

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading [[:Image:10070005 going under bridge.jpg ]]. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --.**My Cat inn @ (talk)** 01:47, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:HMS Diana Crest.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 14:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
