[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Pnichols.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pnichols.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 23:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Ultima VII
Hello. I also agree that Ultima VII is "the most badass game ever made in the history of the universe". However, regrettably adding one person's opinion is problematic:
- We try to only add statements from prominent people or journalists, because the chances are these peoples' opinions have some sort of influence.
- We don't publish original research. Which is to say, every statement should have some sort of source, preferrably a reliable one. If you have a source for this claim (ie, it appeared in some good source rather than just being thrown here), and it appears that this mention is otherwise worthy of inclusion, then it might be worth including.
Sorry if this sounds like a humourless approach. Regrettably, we're trying to make a serious encyclopaedia here, not a collection of remarks on how much the favourite game from each of rules. (Mostly because our Final Fantasy articles would be absolutely unreadable if we did that! Just think of the implications...)
Don't be disappointed, just try a little bit of seriousness. It helps. Trust me. Happy editing. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Lord British
I noted you removed the source to the Ultima VII information in Lord British article. Please don't. As things appear to be, the link redirects elsewhere now and doesn't point to the correct document; however, the whole purpose of the citation is to show that "at the indicated time, this link had fact that verified this information". Citations do not need to care how to access the information now, though it'd be obviously nicer. It's crucial that the references are not removed. The correct course of action in situations like this is to add something like (Inaccessible as of xxxx-xx-xx) after the template, or add citation parameters |archivedate=xxxx-xx-xx|archiveurl=http://whatever.archive.org/blah... which point to an Internet Archive copy. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
