[edit] Saw Trap

Actually, that wasn't me. I missed the Spike TV Scream awards and haven't seen a re-run so I haven't the slightest I idea if it is true. My last edit was for a new trap I viewed on the trailer, not Troy's trap. -Lindsey8417 09:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Well actually the watchlist just lists the articles latest change, not anything previous to it. So the person's edit before my edit wouldn't show up. Anyways, through the 'Saw 3' history page I was able to find User:Smoke Rulz is the one who made that edit. -Lindsey8417 09:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, if you ever need any help or have a question, I'm pretty much adicted to Wikipedia, so feel free. Its nice to see someone actually my age. Yea, I saw the edit, but I didn't realize it was the same trap. Nice work. -Lindsey8417 09:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Its actually very easy. On the top right hand corner of the page you should see a link that reads "my preferences" or just type http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences . It should take you to a page where you can input what you want your signature to be. -Lindsey8417 09:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
n00bish? Ok, well try putting in the code that you inputed on the User:ViperBlade/Sig page. I would retype it, but the thing just shows your signature again.-Lindsey8417 09:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok try typing this into the signature thing on the "my preferences" page:

<big>''' [[User:ViperBlade|<font color=#00D500>ViperBlade]] '''</font></big><sup><small>[[User_Talk:ViperBlade|<font color=#008800>Talk!!]]</sup></small>
-Lindsey8417 10:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you check the little box next to the signature thing that says "Raw Signature" with the code I gave?-Lindsey8417 10:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Great. Sorry I couldn't help. -Lindsey8417 10:33, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I have been using the ~~~~, but didn't know how to make it with colors and much more custom. So thanks for telling me about it on your user page, I may change mine sometime. -Lindsey8417 10:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] {{editprotected}} tags

Why are you placing {{editprotected}} tags on the talk pages of articles that aren't even protected? --  Netsnipe  ►  14:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey. I wanted to upload two images for My Chemical Romance singles but when I clicked on the "nocover.gif" image, it came up with "This high-risk template has been protected from editing to prevent vandalism. Please discuss changes on the talk page. You may use {{editprotected}} on the talk page to ask for an administrator to make an edit for you.". So I placed the editprotected template on the discussion pages. Obviously I did something stupid, lol. I'm new to editing Wiki, so sorry about any cockups.  ViperBlade Talk!! 15:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

That's because you were trying to edit Image:Nocover.gif, the placeholder itself. Edit the article and add an image link to the "Cover" field within {{Infobox Single}} --  Netsnipe  ►  15:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:About Your Signature

Sure, no problem. Glad I could be somewhat of a help... It doesn't look exactly like mine either, so that's cool. But it does look nice. Good job with it.  Orfen User Talk 20:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your AFD nomination was incorrect (for Famous last words)

Please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for the proper method of making an AFD nomination. The first template goes on the article page not the talk page. So it should be at Famous last words not talk:Famous last words. And then you have to set up a discussion page with the second template and list your reasons for deletion under the wikipedia policies. Finally you need to list the talk page on the AFD page (all this is expalined much more clearly in the AFD instructions) so people will know to comment on it.

Let me know if you still have questions or problems. (If you tell me why you think it should be deleted I'll complete the nom for you.) RJFJR 20:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saw 3 Plot

Well I believe I put up a spoiler warning... sorry. lol. Anyways if you read it, I wrote it really quickly and it basically sucks; so if it seems a bit lack luster then you know why. Regardless, see the film when it comes out where you are! - Lindsey8417 08:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Custom signatures

I stumbled on your userpage while I was looking for a guide for custom signatures. I wanted to thank you for putting that bit on your page, because it helped a lot! I was lost on what to do.

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

Thanks for uploading Image:JeffTapeRecorder.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] Fair use rationale for Image:Flyleaf-Flyleaf.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Flyleaf-Flyleaf.jpg. 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 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 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 non-free media 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. Sfan00 IMG 15:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photoshop screen shot

I made a comment to your PS screenshot. Basically I wonder if this image could be confusing to people who are not familiar with image editing, and Photoshop in particular. Crocadillion 17:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm not sure what your post to my discussion page meant... "Nah, my bad. I actually meant to review the previous version of the image and clicked the wrong frigging place. Then messed up setting it right again, lol. Thanks, ViperBlade" I have tried to figure out what part of my post you are responding to... I still think that the picture is mis-leading and not as informative as it could be! have a good one. Crocadillion 21:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright... Thanks for clearing that up! What do you think of that screenshot (try to think like someone who knows nothing about Photoshop)? Crocadillion 20:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James Wan

Hi, I noticed you changed the link on the article from the Saw page to the Saw (short) page. I was wondering whether I should now re word it, because the link doesn't go to where the text says it should, or I could change it back and add a new sentence with the link in it? — Movie Junkie 16:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I've sorted it, in the sentence "Wan and Whannell made a short of the film, Saw to showcase the intensity of the script" I've linked the word "short" to the short movie that was made. — MovieJunkie Talk! 12:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I hope you don't mind but I just wanted it to sound right. :) I was glad however that you mentioned having a link to the short, it's a great deal better now. — MovieJunkie Talk! 16:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

  • The project has currently 19 members.
From the Members

Welcome to the second issue of the WikiProject Saw's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

It's now "Saw Weekend" and Saw IV has been out for a couple of days now. (If you haven't seen it, don't worry, I won't spoil anything for you.) Because of this, a lot of the articles are probably going to need a bit of work. I'll go into more detail on other various sections. All in all, a lot of the 'challenges' from last month's newsletter are still here. Since the release of IV will probably be the last major release of info at least until next year's V we could probably just try to improve the information we already have.

We would encourage all members to get more involved and if you are wondering what with, please ask. CyberGhostface 18:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Pages Needing Cleanup
  • List of traps in the Saw film series: This survived deletion, but it was recommended that we change the article a bit.
  • Detective Eric Matthews: This article could use a bit of clean-up to make it less in-universe. Since he's one of the few recurring characters outside of Jigsaw and Amanda, we could probably base it off off their formats.
Current Debates
Monthly Collaboration
  • Last month's monthly collaboration was Saw (film). As a guide, look at other featured horror film articles such as Halloween (1978 film) and Night of the Living Dead. More external information (such as behind the scenes, reception, etc) should be added if possible. A new one hasn't been decided yet. My suggestion would be to either work some more on Saw's article, or perhaps start a new collaboration.
Newsletter Challange
  • Try to make the character articles more encyclopedic by making them less in-universe. See Jigsaw and Amanda's articles for guidance. Also see Jason Voorhees, which is a featured article. (Obviously there is more information on Jason available than the Saw characters, but it is worth looking at to see what's considered the best of the best.)
  • Some of the plot articles seem to be overtly long. Without bowdlerizing them, maybe we could try to make them a bit shorter and concise.
  • Try to invite more members to this project. If you know any Saw fans who are good with computers, invite them to Wikipedia. The more the merrier.

[edit] WikiProject Newsletter n°1

Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:

  • In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
  • I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
  • I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
  • There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
  • What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

Well, that's this issue. Au revoir et à bientôt till the next time, ChrisDHDR (18:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:MyWordsOfWisdom.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MyWordsOfWisdom.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Doctorgordonsaw.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Doctorgordonsaw.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) 05:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Saw January Newsletter


The WikiProject Saw Newsletter
Issue III - January 2008

Happy New Year, everyone!

Not much of a newsletter for today...I just wanted to report that OfficialSaw.com's website has undergone a massive renovation and has added character profiles and trap descriptions and the like. Why am I telling you this? Because it appears that our Wikipedia articles have been used for the site! (Check out the House of Jigsaw history section for one example). So feel proud, knowing that the articles that you have worked on have garnered notice from the folks at LionsGate...
