Orphaned fair use image (Image:MythBusters title screen.jpg)
editThanks for uploading Image:MythBusters title screen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Nikkor PC-E Micro 85mm.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Nikkor PC-E Micro 85mm.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 12:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 12:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Jack Thompson
editHello. I just noticed the page you made for Thompson, and while I admire your goal, you can't do it that way. In order to move a page, you must use the 'move page' function, so that the page history is maintained. This is vital, as it maintains the GFDL. I'm going to nominate the page for deletion, and you should propose moving it on Talk:Jack Thompson (attorney). 24.99.242.63 (talk) 19:11, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I can't fix it as it is semiprotected. I would advise you to undo your redirect, and gain consensus on the talk page first. 24.99.242.63 (talk) 19:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- You are probably right that the page should be Jack Thompson (activist), but, as was pointed out above, cut-and-paste moves are undesirable, as are duplicate articles. Now that the new name exists, I can't just move it there. Perhaps a posting at requested moves is in order as it will now require an administrator to properly move the page.... Beeblebrox (talk) 19:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Guys, thanks for the heads up, i was unaware of the move feature. I will delete the (activist) page and request a move from the (attorney) one. Anyway, moving is better than copy/paste since it preserves the talk and edit history.--Shogunu (talk) 19:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
(edit conflicted twice, so now partially redundant, meh Chzz ► 19:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC))
- 24.99, thanks for redirecting that back. I undid the cutI highly recommend that you get yourself an account.
- Beeblebrox, I think a (hopefully short/painless) discussion on the talk first would be good. If there is consensus, give me a shout and I'll get it moved.
- Shogunu, in future, please use move to change page names, instead of copy-paste, otherwise the history of other users contributions is lost. In this specific case, please discuss the proposed move on the talk page of the article first. Cheers, Chzz ► 19:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Shogonu, deleting the redirect isn't necessary for now; they're cheap :-)
- Shogonu, Please come and say hello by clicking this. It's a great way to get help with this sort of thing. Cheers, Chzz ► 19:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I see now on Talk:Jack_Thompson_(attorney) that this idea isn't as uncontroversial as I thought it would be - there is no clear consensus to rename the article as proposed, therefore the move shouldn't be done. If you have an alternative suggestion, you could start a new debate about it. It's a tricky one, but I do feel that the opposers have a a valid argument - if he did die, he would likely be described as a lawyer, as someone pointed out. There is no problem in having the redirect as well though. If you feel that the title unfairly portrays him, then try to think of a suitable compromise. "Jack Thompson (lawyer and activist)" ?

before the question. Again, welcome! Beeblebrox (talk) 19:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
User space
editYou might find it useful to create a test page in your own user area. For example, if I put here, [[user:Shogunu/my test page]]
it will appear as a redlink; user:Shogunu/my test page - because that page does not exist. You can click on that and create the page; you can edit things and play around there as much as you like. To make more such pages, just add a similar link to your own user page, and then it will be easy for you to find them - e.g. user:Shogunu/test1, user:Shogunu/test2, etc.
Hopefully this will be helpful.
Please do ask for help whenever you need to; you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR
- Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR
- Talk to us live, with this or this.
