Edit summary

edit

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Daniel Šebesta (talkcontribs) 14:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Diky, I'll keep it in mind!

Sorry, it was an accident. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 18:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Another mistake, I think Fureidis is indeed correct. I was relying on a government website I saw a while ago. However, both CBS and HebWiki list Fureidis, so I will correct this. Btw, I also thought Puryadis was weird at the time I read it, considering Arabic doesn't have P's. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use

edit

Hi, I noticed your query about fair use on User talk:J Di's user page. Unfortunately, no matter how beneficial to the copyright owner, copyrighted images need a fair use rationale - that is, a statement of why it can be used despite copyright - on the image's page for each article it's used on. Read WP:FAIR USE to leanr where it can and can't be used. Generally, copyrighted images can't be used as personal decorations on userpages.

I'm sorry, but while it's not "unfair" in the common sense, per se, "unfair use" is purely a technical term. It's is illegal to put a logo that is copyrighted on any page without a fair use rationale, and fair use images can only be put on articles anyways. Please read the link I provided above.

Articles for deletion nomination of Quiet Internet Pager

edit

I have nominated Quiet Internet Pager, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quiet Internet Pager (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Cybercobra (talk) 00:26, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Nomination of Slovak exonyms for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Slovak exonyms, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of names of European cities in different languages until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
