Image confusion

edit

Hi, I took a look and after some consideration I agree with you. I'm afraid that new users tend to get the short end of WP:AGF sometimes - especially when it comes to uploading "internet" (small jpgs) sized images. Anyway welcome to wikipedia - I hope you stick around. Regards Megapixie 18:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! Did you remove the tag? YSHOULDUKNOW123 18:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'll give it 24 hours to see if the other editor has any objections. If not then I'll delist the image - i.e. remove the tag and strikeout the debate. Best to give him some time to respond (it saves this turning into a messy dispute). I'll drop a note on his talk page asking him to look at the discussion.

Edit summaries please... they really help us

edit

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Glen 20:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh, OK! I'm so sorry! YSHOULDUKNOW123 20:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for doing the wikification. I usually do such things myself; I dislike tagging articles and leaving them for others, but it was late and there was a lot of wikification needed.

Usually those things languish forever; thanks to you it was done in less than a day. Good work! Daniel Case 16:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey YSHOULDUKNOW123, I deleted your user page history to get rid of that personal information. It's a really, really bad idea, especially for a young person, to have so much personal information on their page. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 03:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Images

If it's your image, you should tag them with {{PD-self}} so to guarantee that nobody else touches it and marks it as unfree. Hbdragon88 03:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Desktoptwo

edit

A tag has been placed on Desktoptwo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Desktoptwo is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Desktoptwo, explaining how Desktoptwo is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 23:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

With regards to your comments on User talk:NawlinWiki: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption.

Image:NINTENDODS.PNG

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:NINTENDODS.PNG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Hbdragon88 23:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Abercrombie_moose.PNG

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Abercrombie_moose.PNG. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image:Hollister_Seagull.PNG

edit

I have tagged Image:Hollister_Seagull.PNG 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. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Prod on Nintendo DS accessories

Nintendo DS accessories

edit

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Nintendo DS accessories, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of Online Operating System

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Online Operating System, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Swerdnaneb 18:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Wite-Out 123.PNG

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:Wite-Out 123.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
