TMC again

What had I done wrong? I'm trying to figure out this wiki stuff and i'm not too good at it yet.

Image source

Thank you for uploading Image:Lahc.gif. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:31, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

• Please do the same for Image:Koreanfriendshipbell.JPG too. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:32, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

TMC Article

T.J. help me! I was trying to update the TMC article to change the name of the provost, but i can't get the formatting down. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

ERC Article

That's was awesomely done my friend, awesomely done. Canadian Paul 02:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

UCSD article

Hi,

Good job on the Sixth College and ERC pages too. I may have gone too far - do you think posting the yield percentage was unnecessary?

lots of issues | leave me a message 16:56, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

And thank you for doing a great job completing the UCSD series.

SoCal Wikipedia meetup

Although it's scheduled on Monday night in LA, which is probably very bad timing and location for you and your roommate, I thought that I would still tell you about the proposed WikiMeetup planned for the LA area. For more info, see User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup. BlankVerse ∅ 30 June 2005 10:52 (UTC)

All you need to do now is to list yourself as among those interested in attending, and add any preferences you might have for a meeting place. BTW: If you are in the Wilmington area, I'm nearby in Signal Hill. BlankVerse ∅ 1 July 2005 01:03 (UTC)

Re:Racism in the US

Thank you always for encouraging words. Is it me or is the article just far too ambitious - the range of subjects it must cover. lots of issues | leave me a message 8 July 2005 03:43 (UTC)

Watermelon and racist image

I appreciate you weighing in on the debate about whether to include a racist image in the article. If you have a moment, I'd like you to return and reconsider. Quadell seemed confused about the third option, so I've included a third -- which is, actually (I believe) a clearer statement of option three. I believe it is far preferable to the first two, and I'd like you to at least consider it. Peace. deeceevoice 14:27, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

L.A. Meetup Reminder

Don't forget! L.A's first Wiki meetup is TONIGHT at 7:30 at Philippe's in Downtown. Check out the meetup page for details. See you there! (If you can't make it, come to the next one! - Eric 22:03, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

American Old West at the US Collaboration

Some time ago, you supported the nomination of American Old West at the COTW. I have now renominated it at the new US Collaboration. If you are still interested, you can support the article with your vote there!--Fenice 08:54, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Your biography infoxbox

Hi,

Your biography infobox is putting you in Category:1984 births, which is intended for articles and not user pages. Can you do something to get yourself out of the category? Perhaps you could subst the infobox and then remove the part with the category. If you need help with that, let me know.

Thanks. -- SCZenz 05:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Heh, guess I was wrong about where the category was from. Thanks for taking it out; it was a pretty common problem, actually. The physics department at Cal is great, but I have no idea what the other departments are like. Certainly Berkeley's a great place to live, the area's really beautiful, and there's lots of stuff to do. -- SCZenz 07:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Not so much in the way of beaches here. My comparison is with having been in Chicago, though, so for me everything's an improvement. ;) -- SCZenz 14:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Sanjay Gandhi

Hi, I appended the POV tag on the above article some time back and you supported my move. It has been revised now and hence I have removed the tag. You may also want to check if it is still POV. --Gurubrahma 07:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem RE: Image:Lahc.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Lahc.gif. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

• The copyright holder, and
• The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

• An open content licence
• Public Domain
• Fair Use

• The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.

• The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

• • Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.

• Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --SCEhardT 22:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Tableteejsilhouette.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Tableteejsilhouette.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 15:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Banning.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Banning.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 09:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia's LGBT Community

Hi, Elefuntboy! You've indicated through various means (a userbox, membership in a category, etc) that you are part of the Wikipedia LGBT community, or are interested in Wikipedia's LGBT related pages. Welcome! You may not know that Wikipedia has both an LGBT Notice Board and an LGBT Studies WikiProject. If you haven't yet done so, take a look at both of them. They sorely need attention and participation! Some things on the "To-Do List" that merit particular attention include: Identifying topics/pages that need attention Identifying problems that need addressing Adding the LGBT template to appropriate pages Categorizing LGBT pages Please feel free to participate in any or all of these activities! And if you feel like it, add yourself to either the Noticeboard Members or the WikiProject Participants - or both!

Glad you're a part of Wikipedia - and Thanks!

Your Nextwave members navbox thing

Hey I just got this from ChrisGriwold, who I also seem to clash with. I'm stubborn... he's stubborn... ah well.

• "These navbox templates you've been adding are under discussion at the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics#These_Infoboxes talk page. Please stop creating and adding these while we discuss them. Currently, the discussion appears to be going against their inclusion in articles, so you may want to join the discussion to present your opinion. Good luck.--Chris Griswold (☎☓) 01:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)"

This includes your Nextwave one you created. So dude, I guess if we want them kept we better start defending them otherwise they may do their little lets delete it and that would [CENSORED] me off!.

I agree, although the article in its present form is a definate improvement from the first version I saw. I think the whole thing needs a general clean-up. --Alexis 08:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Bananas Foster

You added the statement "The dessert and the popular tableside demonstration play a significant role in the plot of the Arrested Development episode, "Top Banana"." to the Bananas Foster article. Are you sure about this? I don't recall it, and the episode summary on wikipedia doesn't mention it. Tulane97 14:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Casamento-de-romeu-e-julieta-poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Casamento-de-romeu-e-julieta-poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Warren logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Warren logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Koreanfriendshipbell.JPG

File:Koreanfriendshipbell.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Koreanfriendshipbell.JPG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Koreanfriendshipbell.JPG]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2015

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bruce Jenner. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Cut-paste moving isn't constructive, please stop redirecting the page to another article and wait for someone to move the page, she'll still be called Caitlyn in an hour or so. By then, an admin will have moved the pages to where they need to be, thanks. Azealia911 _talk 17:23, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
