[edit] License tagging for Image:Nevadapalacepic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nevadapalacepic.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nevada Palace

FYI, I have proposed it for deletion b/c of concern that the article violates WP:CORP. Please let me know if you believe it meets the criteria and how. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding reversions[1] made on December 13, 2006 to James Kim

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. At any rate please do not do more than three reverts in a 24h period. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 13:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Kim

I understand that this debate is growing rather heated, but the issue of whether the article deserves a timeline or not is really a minor one in the grand scheme of things. Comments like "Crossmr's definition of consensus is whatever he thinks is correct" ([2]) are uncivil and unproductive. Please try to keep a cool head, as we are all trying to do the same thing. Nothing on Wikipedia is worth losing one's cool over. (ESkog)(Talk) 03:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Hkpeoplestamps.jpg

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

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mtrlogo1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mtrlogo1.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] Re: Hkg57rat.jpg

Hi, I like to use cityscapes as desktop backgrounds, and I was wondering if you have a version of Hkg57rat.jpg [3] with a bigger resolution (preferably in the 1024/1280 range).

Great photo, by the way. =) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leaf of Silver (talk • contribs) 19:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] WTF

kind of problem do you have with Robert D. Kaplan? He's important enough to qualify having his own Wikipedia entry, he's been namedropped since the Clinton administration AT LEAST, he's been writing interesting books about global history and politics since 1985 -- he even has a coterie of individuals who've been influenced by his theories, called Kaplanists, some of whom have set up a political blog called The Coming Anarchy. Stop it with your downgrading of his importance. I already edited out his own opinions of Lee Kuan Yew, even though they were stated clearly throughout the book I referenced, and concentrated the focus back on those Egyptian businessmen he talked to. I fully intend on putting back the text that you have so callously edited out. If you insist on editing out that text, which has complete relevance to the subject at hand, I will be forced to call a spade a spade and warn you about the implications of vandalizing on Wikipedia.

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hkobservatorylogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.BetacommandBot 04:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: UCLARodent ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.


This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.


Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)
Time：After 5:00pm
Proposed region：Yuen Long


The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!


Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

[edit] Hong Kong FAR

Hong Kong has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. --Joowwww (talk) 11:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
