You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! Sennheiser! 15:00, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Deer

Take a look at my changes for Persian Fallow Deer and Fallow Deer. Also, no need to make links like Dama dama. One the species level or lower we always use the common name. On higher levels we'll use either the common or the scientific name or both. (See Deer and Cervidae, for instance.)

[edit] Griffin

Nice looking griffin page now, Yak. Can you format Herculaneum? It's begging for formatting. Stuff'a all right there. I'm too dumb.Wetman 15:43, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

me too, I just copied a nice looking format from another page --Yak 16:04, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)

Always a good technique :) Say, at Philistines tell us what's in Claude Vandersleyen, "Keftiu: a cautionary note." Oxford Journal of Archaeology that you entered! Wetman 00:21, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi Yak, re your query on Talk:Hazel Is the hazel a tree?

[edit] Image license

Hi Yak,

We use Image:Dattelpalme.jpg on the German Wikipedia. Could you please clarify its licensing status, so that we can keep it there without any future problems? Thanks in advance, --zeno 10:09, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ist es dann GFDL? --zeno 10:25, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
ja

--Yak 10:37, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Noch eine Frage: Bist Du auch auf der deutschen Wikipedia als "Yak" bekannt? Es wurden nämlich gerade zwei Bilder dieses Benutzers zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Wenn die Bilder von Dir sind, sage mir bitte Bescheid, oder hinterlasse einen Kommentar auf de:Wikipedia:Bilder_ohne_Lizenzangabe/Y.

ciao, --zeno 10:54, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Aswadpoint.jpg

Guten Tag! Thanks for uploading Image:Aswadpoint.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 14:05, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)


[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 05:13, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to each to let us know its copyright status?

You can use {{gfdl}} if you release your own work under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, and so on. Click here for a list of the various tags.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the image from, and I'll tag it for you. Thanks so much. Denni☯ 04:23, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging

Greetings. You may not have seen this, but images that are not properly tagged or sourced are now candidates for speedy deletion. I see you've had several warnings before to do this, and looking through some of the images you've uploaded many of them are not tagged. Since you have so many images I though I might warn you so you have time to label them. Please tag these images properly with source and license information, or they will be deleted. If you're not sure how, I or someone at the Help Desk will gladly help you. Thanks, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 07:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:GudeaLagasch.jpg

What about the Licence of this Picture? I would like to use it in the german Wikipedia - but there's it only possible as free Picture. Kenwilliams 19:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:MaesHoweOrkney.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MaesHoweOrkney.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much.

Additionally I have removed this photo from the Maeshowe article, since it is now redundant to two other photos which do have source/copyright information. Thanks/wangi

Hi Yak, I'd appreciate an answer on Talk: Piyashshili nl:Gebruiker:Jcwf

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:DyeCurcuma.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DyeCurcuma.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. Nv8200p talk 04:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pomeranian culture

Hi,

I noticed you are the main editor of the article Pomeranian culture. Can you please provide the sources on which the article is based. I would like to translate it for the Slovenian wikipedia. However, I would like to have it supported with verifiable sources.
