regarding highlander quickenings

i am not sure i understand the term of 'list of quickening' you want to make. if you still want to make, please do so. in the mean time, i think it's better to keep it as it is. you should click Quickening to see whether there's a list or not. do you mean the terms like dark quickening, double quickening or....for example duncan killed so and so in every episode? i think the list is too long, it would be better to put the 'list' of immortals/duncan that got quickening in the episode page. whadaya' think?

Oz vote

Thanks for the heads-up, but I can't change my vote. The administrator didn't make a mistake in reasoning; he interpreted the votes correctly. I disagree with the ruling, but it's not because of a failure on the admin's part. I will make a comment to this regard, though.--Mike Selinker 20:58, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Duplication in Oz (TV series) related articles

This is in response to the message you left on my talk page. First and foremost, please assume good faith when you interact with other editors. This would include not characterizing other editor's work as vandalism in your edit summaries when it is not. It would be best it you read WP:VAND for an explanation of what vandalism is, and what vandalism is not. With regard to the Oz (TV series) articles, when I first came across them during vandal patrolling, I found serious duplication of information among these articles. Some of the articles did not even link to each other. I made an attempt to clean up the issues that I could and redirected articles that seemed duplicative. Indeed, you yourself seemed to indicate doubt about the way the articles had been created, see: [1]. If you don't like the way things came out feel free to fix them. But try to keep the articles consise. Also keep in mind that there is probably not a need for a separate article for every gang and character. If you feel it is justified to keep a large number of articles, you should create an info box that would appear in each article and show how they interrelate. I will revisit these articles in a week or so. If the duplicate information reappears I will propose mergers so that the wider community can discuss how best to proceed. Regards, Accurizer 12:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry. I overreacted.

However, although there are probably certain duplication (As the articles were derived from the main series' page) most of the information in these pages is original and do not appear in the main article. Besides, there is much more to be written regarding these gangs that was yet to be written, so I'd like it if you'd wait a while before suggesting it to be merged into the main article. (Which is already too full)

I do, however intend to create relevant infoboxes when I'll get the time, as I believe they are crucial in puutting all of this information into order. OzOz

Apology accepted. I have no problem giving you as much time as you like. How about you drop me a note when you are finished, and I'll take a look at that time. Happy editing! Regards, Accurizer 12:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing. Thanks! :) OzOz

Episode Guide

I once worked on an Oz Episode Guide but was removed because others added plot summaries that were copied from other sources. If you'd like to try and get one let me know and I'll try to get some pictures for the guide.--CyberGhostface 02:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd love to work on one, but unfortunately, I am afraid I won't be able to do that 'till the end of the exams period. When I will be able to work on it, I'll let you know. :) (If you'll start working on it by yourself, please tell me. ok? :)) OzOz 06:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I only have Oz season 3, but I'll write those episode guides from scratch Sexyactionnick 00:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Good to hear! OzOz 06:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Tagging images without source

Hi there, thanks for tagging images like Image:Miami skyline from Biscayne Bay.jpg as lacking a source. Might I ask that you use {{subst:nsd}} instead of {{no source}} in future, as this will automatically categorize the image by date too? You can also use {{subst:nld}} to tag images without a license or copyright information, and {{subst:nrd}} to tag images that are marked fair use but do not have an explanation of how the image complies with the fair use policy. Thanks again! Stifle (talk) 12:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing. Ok. :) OzOz

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 10:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Come on! It had random people and Jim/Joe/Jill/Jane Doe in the other fields. Why would making the show end before it begun be any problem? OzOz 10:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Because where trying to present an information template people can understand without being confused; Wikipeda is not a joke book. thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 10:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Brese (OZ CO).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Brese (OZ CO).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.

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 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 04:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Shirley_Bellinger.jpg

I have tagged Image:Shirley_Bellinger.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 23:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Ozschillinger.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Ozschillinger.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 13:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Sean Murphy (Oz).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sean Murphy (Oz).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
