Welcome!

Hello, Meduer, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page D'Angelo Wallace, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Grayfell (talk) 08:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Edvard Schiffauer.jpg

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 18:32, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Meduer, I'm here to answer your question on this above article that's been nominated for deletion. Quite simply, there is an essay on how to save your article for deletion - and it's right behind that link that precedes this part of the sentence. Read up, and then get to it. Good luck. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of caricaturists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cham (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:11, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Saint-Romain are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 18:10, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Meduer, I've replied here rather than my talk page so that you'll have a record in a more convenient spot. As described above, disambiguation pages are simply navigation guides to help readers find the information they're looking for; they are not lists of articles that happen to mention a certain word{s}. They are rather like the index of a book - if the book doesn't talk about École primaire Saint-Romain, than you wouldn't expect to see it listed in the index. Similarly, if a reader goes to any of the pages that you linked to, looking for information on École primaire Saint-Romain, they will be disappointed.

Personally, I wouldn't list a primary school on a disambiguation page unless it had its own article. There must be millions of primary schools and the vast majority of them are not notable (in the Wikipedia sense). If you really think that it needs to be included on the disambiguation page, then it needs to be discussed on some other page first (presumably Longueuil). Hope that helps, and feel free to ask more questions. I'll try to answer. Leschnei (talk) 01:06, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Rondo for Cello and Orchestra (Dvořák)

Hi I am a new page reviewer and I’ve just reviewed a page you created, Rondo for Cello and Orchestra (Dvořák). Thanks for creating this as Wikipedia lacks articles on pieces of classical music. However I need to warn you about something very serious that will get you into trouble quickly and possibly get you blocked from editing if it goes on. You found good sources and relied on them closely, avoiding adding anything to the article that wasn’t in the sources - all good. The bit where you fell down was in cutting and pasting the exact words from those sources into the article text. Reviewers use this tool to check for copyright violations. When I first checked your article, it scored 60%, a definite fail, which is grounds for deleting the article. By rewording it I got that down to 26%, which is acceptable. Please take care in future to do this rewording yourself - you can check using the tool to help you. If you need any help or advice with anything please leave a message in my talk page. All the best Mccapra (talk) 07:47, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

I have done some additional editing and removals, as no amount of copying is actually acceptable. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be written on your own words please.— Diannaa (talk) 21:32, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

@Diannaa: thanks I should have thought to ask for revision deletion too. Mccapra (talk) 21:50, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Re: Joseph Gelinek

No worries, I've just put the link to the Count back and redone some of your other changes ... in almost all cases like this we do want to link to a specific person. Graham87 01:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
