Copyright tags

I have been helping with the Wikipedia:Untagged Images project. You have uploaded the following images:

• Image:Palais des Papes golden statue.jpg
• Image:Palais des Papes main entrance.jpg

You stated that these images are not copyrighted and can be freely distributed as long as you are credited. This doesn't fit neatly into any of copyright tags that I have to choose from. I have applied the {{GFDL}} tag to these images but I don't know if that is what you intended. Please apply the appropriate copyright tags to these images if I have guessed wrong. You can help this project by tagging all of your uploaded images so that we don't have to guess what you intended. Thank you, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 18:38, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this. All of my images are now up to date. --Patik 21:45, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

A suggestion

The images in your user page may look better if you enclose them within a gallery. e.g.: User:Victor.P.Das/Images_I_have_uploaded Thanks.--Victor.P.Das 20:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks, I didn't know about that option --Patik 22:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
