License tagging for Image:Dcc2.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Dcc2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Commentary in article Bill O'Reilly (commentator)
edit
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Bill O'Reilly (commentator). While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article.
Also, be sure to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~) – this will automatically produce a signature so other contributors can identify multiple posts from you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page! And again, thanks for your help!
What you did is generally considered vandalism. Will (Talk - contribs) 19:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi
- I have a question for you about the comment you left on my talk page. Mr. O'Reilly stated his displeasure of Vermont judges on the his show. I put that comment from his show on his wikipedia page, I may have forgot to do the Will (Talk - contribs) 05:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC) thing but you stated that was generally considered vandalism. Why? I am not trying to be rude or anything I am just wondering why that would be because he said it on his tv show. Please help so I dont make that mistake again........... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhall4 (talk • contribs)
First, as noted above, most pages have a talk page. This is your private talk page. Mine is listed below and above where you see "Talk" next to my name. It is User talk:Will Pittenger. You can put your comment at Talk:Bill O'Reilly (commentator). Use the + tab at the top (see the attached image) to start a new conversation. Use the [edit] link next to each section (the part in large bold text) to add to it. Then sign with ~~~~.
Also, we call all comments on article pages a violation of WP:NPOV. That is one of the three pillars of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of comments but an encyclopedia. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
