Forgotten hope
Welcome to Wikipedia!
editHello Forgotten hope, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope that you like the place and decide to stay.
If you haven't already read the policies and guidelines page, some of the key points are:
- The Five pillars of Wikipedia:
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
- Articles must conform to a neutral point of view
- Wikipedia is free content, and submissions must not violate the copyright policy
- Observe Wikiquette and the other rules of engagement
- Wikipedia doesn't have firm rules
- The Simplified Ruleset adds:
- Be bold in making changes
- Information should be verifiable
- Provide an Edit summary
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Use the Show preview button
- There are five official rules which must be followed
Some other useful pages are:
- How to edit a page
- The Wikipedia:Introduction to Wikipedia
- The Tutorial
- The Manual of Style
- What to do if you see vandalism
- How to move and merge pages
- The Village pump and Help desk, for questions about Wikipedia
- The reference desk, for questions which are not about Wikipedia
- How to write a great article
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page or via email. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 02:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Diamond Faerie.PNG
editThanks for uploading Image:Diamond Faerie.PNG. The image description 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 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.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ukitake Shikai.png)
editThanks for uploading Image:Ukitake Shikai.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 01:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Cut-and-paste moves
editSince cutting-and-pasting pages doesn't transfer the page history (this creates a copyright problem because editors' contributions are licensed under the GFDL - see WP:GFDL), page moves should not be done this way and should instead be moved using the Move function. However, the move from Garmeil to Mothim cannot be moved this way at the moment, so we will have to wait until the requested move[1] goes through. – mcy1008 (talk) 05:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Ah. That's quite annoying. Oh well. Forgotten hope 05:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale missing for Image:Kyoraku Shikai.png
editThis file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Kyoraku Shikai.png. However, the image is missing a fair use rationale. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and 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 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 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. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 00:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Niv-Mizzet.jpg
editThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Niv-Mizzet.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.
