Tildes

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as in Talk:List of minor Star Wars characters, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Arwen Undomiel ^talk 16:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, great... thanks... not even sure if I'm doing this in the right place. --MaGnUs was here! 04:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey, it's no problem. What you did on your last post is perfect. Listen, if you do have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! Arwen Undomiel ^talk 18:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:MaGnUs.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:MaGnUs.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 21:38, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Adding a blogger's personal awards

I've noticed you've added a lot of links to a blogger's personal awards, The Autopsy Awards. This falls into the category of linkspam and violates WP:ELNO 11. I'm going to remove these, and respectfully ask that you not reinsert them. --Tenebrae (talk)

I understand how it can be perceived, since the awards are given by myself in my own column; but that doesn't mean they're not honors that have been awarded to the authors in question, and as with other awards, are relevant to the section in particular of the article they have been added. My column is published on my blog, among other sites, but these are not "personal awards"; I've been writing my column for more than five years. I'd like to kindly request that you consider leaving the awards in the pages I edited. I assure you, it was not done with the intenta of spamming, merely of showing an honor that had been awarded to authors, companies, and books. Thank you.MaGnUs was here!

And I appreciate your thoughtful response and straightforward honesty. Those are the traits of the best Wikipedia editors.

I understand you meant no harm in self-promoting your blog. If you'll look the policies mentioned above, you'll see that your edits in this case violated Wikipedia policies regulating that sort of thing. It's certainly not up to be to me or to any other editor to give permission, as it were. I can tell you, though, that if these edits were reinserted, other editors would get involved enforcing the same policies.

If you'd like to pursue this, however, you're entitled, like every other editor, to post a Request for comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics, and your fellow editors will give you a fair hearing and discussion. If you don't mind some unsolicited advice, I'm not sure how productive a use of time that would be, as these policies are pretty straightforward.

Regardless, it's always good have another knowledgeable, collegial editor in the Project, and I look forward to fruitful collaborations. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 18:02, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

If you're certain it'd be a waste of time and the policies are straightforward, then I'd better not bother. Thanks, however, for valuing my other contributions. I try to correct stuff when I see it's wrong and I know I can fix it... BTW, any thoughts on the revert of my addition to an updated map to the Wakanda article?MaGnUs was here! (talk) 18:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Not sure I see what's being/been removed -- there's a map there all through the last several edits. It's possible that using a map from the Marvel Atlas or from Marvel Universe #12 (the sourcing seems to claim both) might be a copyright violation, but I can't say. One thing I'd check if I were you is the art credit. Don McGregor is an amazing writer (and a friend, as it happens), and while he might have given much input into the geography of Wakanda, and created many of the sites back in his Jungle Action stories, I'm not sure he would have been the map's actual artist.

You can always go to the WikiProject Comics talk page and ask our fellow editors for advice on the photo deletion. Many minds make light work. Happy Wiki'ing! -- Tenebrae (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Diegojourdan1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Diegojourdan1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Replaceable fair use File:Latejapride2012.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Latejapride2012.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 15:49, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Latejapride2012.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Latejapride2012.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
