[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Welcome to the Wikipedia, Tadiew! And thanks for adding to the façade of the Scientology article (from where does ç originate anyways?). Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

Some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Tadiew, and have fun! Ombudsman 03:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Klein-fritz.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Klein-fritz.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. —Bkell (talk) 23:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how I managed to mess this one up (I've added images successfully before). When I added it, I got the warning message (fair use, etc.) even though I thought I had tagged the image correctly for use here. The weirdest part was that I could not find the submitted image again. I couldn't find it associated with its article or elsewhere. I'm sure I screwed something up.
If I still have it and it's OK to try to add it again (it seems to fit the fair use guidelines: it was taken from an obituary from one of the local news agencies -- which I thought I'd indicated, lol), I'd be happy to do so. If it's OK to "add" it again and it's still on the site, would you let me know how to find/access it? Thank you. Richard G. Shewmaker 19:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It's fine to add the picture again. You can use it under a claim of fair use as long as it's acceptable for use under the Wikipedia fair-use policy. However, the image has been deleted from Wikipedia; you will have to upload it again. The reason it was deleted is because copyrighted images used under a claim of fair use must be used in articles; if a fair-use image is not used anywhere, there is no reason for it to exist on Wikipedia. Let me know if you need help or have any questions. —Bkell (talk) 19:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll try to put it back in now. I hope it's all right to remove the "warning" image -- it was a little overwhelming. Richard G. Shewmaker 19:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I don't really like that warning image, either. —Bkell (talk) 19:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Glad you're online. I was going to upload the image but found there was no category in the set list that looked valid. The only one that seemed to fit was "found the image somewhere" and that, under the warning just above not to use images from Web sites, got me worrying. I thought I'd search through the different help documents here to see if I could find something that fit the situation (such as image from an obituary) but had no luck. Is it better just to leave this alone? I'd rather not do something if it will probably waste people's time discussing later.

Forgot to sign that but it's probably ok anyway. I provided links to three articles about the guy with images of him. Richard G. Shewmaker 19:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

There's a more-or-less complete list of fair-use tags at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. If none of them look right, you can use {{Non-free fair use in|Article}}, replacing Article with the name of the article the image will be used in, and then give a rationale for why the image qualifies as fair use. This rationale should explain why the use of this image in the article satisfies the ten points of the Wikipedia fair-use policy.
You may not be able to choose the right license when you upload the image. In this case, just pick "None selected" when you upload the file, and go back and edit the image description page to add the correct license (or you can include the license in the summary when you upload it). —Bkell (talk) 19:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Calvino-italo.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Calvino-italo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Thank you. — Recury 15:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Sole-giaguaro.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sole-giaguaro.jpg. 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 20:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

What a beautiful cover! (from one of the few titles I haven't found a copy of yet...) Thanks for saving/uploading it! That's all, I was just looking around the Calvino pages. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 04:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
