Welcome!

Hello, Sf222, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

This is a bit late, I'm afraid, so you'll probably already know all the above — but better a late welcome than none at all.Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:13, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Titles with diacritics

Unfortunately, page titles in English Wikipedia can't use diacritics other than ISO 8859-1. Wikipedias in other languages use Unicode, but unfortunately the English wikipedia does not yet do so. -- Curps 19:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CTU history

Your addition of the history section to Czech Technical University in Prague is probably a copyright violation, as it is copied verbatim from [1]. If you have explicit permission to publish the text under GNU Free Documentation License, say so at the discussion page. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for further information.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Delfin.jpg

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

[edit] Image:Csakyho kastiel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Csakyho kastiel.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. -SCEhardT 05:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Pd erb.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. -- 00:53, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim

Hi, Sam! I don't know whether the term is offensive, but in any case it is not why I removed it (Wikipedia is not censored).

The reason why I removed the entry lies within some of the Wikipedia policies and guidelines that you, as a newcomer, might not yet had a chance to encounter. First of all, Tim (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page, which means that it is first and foremost a page designed to provide navigational assistance to readers. If you think of disambiguation pages as of collection of redirects, you'd be pretty close to understanding what these pages are for. As far as disambiguation pages go, we have a guideline governing what kind of information they should contain and in what manner that information should be presented. You can find that guideline here. The bottom line is that the disambiguation entries should not be created too loosely, unless there is a very, very good reason to do so. With Celtic, if "Tim" were the team's alternative name, that'd be a reason good enough for inclusion, but even then the entry should have been kept as short as possible (something like "Tim, alternative name for Celtic F.C.").

Another guideline applicable in this case is WP:NOT, specifically its Wikipedia is not a dictionary clause. While the guideline mostly applies to standalone articles, it's a good fit for disambiguation pages as well. What that guideline says is that an article (or a disambiguation page entry) should generally not be created if it only consists of a dictionary definition.

I hope this makes sense. If you have any further questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to let me know. I hope this does not discourage you from further editing—there are so many policies and guidelines in Wikipedia now that it is highly unreasonable to expect new editors to learn them all at once!

In conclusion, to answer your question regarding attribution of your IP edits to your account, I'm afraid this cannot be done. In the past, we had a change attribution procedure, but it no longer is active. I can only suggest that you link to your IP edits (like this) on your user page if you feel it is important for other editors to know what they are. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. You are welcome to contact me in future if you have any similar questions, by the way. I'm always happy to help new editors :) Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Chorvatske_rameno.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Chorvatske_rameno.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Logo cvut.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo cvut.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 00:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
