[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Stevo D, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New userboxes

I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

<div style="float: left; border:solid #CD853F 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: #FFFFE0;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: #CD853F; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | '''Civ'''
| style="font-size: {{{info-s|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc|black}}};" | This user is addicted to [[Sid Meier's Civilization]] computer game series.
|}</div>

[edit] RFA

Hello! I noticed you have tried to create a RFA. Are you sure you followed the instructions that appear here? If you wish to cancel the process, I guess you can either ask at the Talk page of the RFA page to delete it, or tag it with {{db-author}} (not completely sure about this last one). As a friendly advice, I tell you that most times, candidates with less than 1000 edits or 3 months do not usually pass. Whatever your decision, keep it up! -- ReyBrujo 05:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Shabba Ranks.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shabba Ranks.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 01:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South African Farmer Murders

Hi Stevo!

Good to see some more voices on the liberal side of the Plaasmoorde debate. I'm sorry you think the article is so bad that it should be shot on sight. Maybe you can find some time to give it a once-over? It's always hard to build a consensus when you have to deal with radicals, because you end up compromising halfway between sense and insanity, which is not ideal. I don't have time to work on WP as often as I'd like, so if you feel I could help with anything, please drop me a mail. I read that most every day. --Slashme 12:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd edit

I can't see the point of [1], especially of the edit summary. Why? -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 01:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Niyazov.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Niyazov.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] Replaceable fair use Image:Lisa Ray.jpg

Replaceable fair use

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

  1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mspraveen (talk) 18:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bathopele.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bathopele.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
