License tagging for Image:Tobin's mom.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Tobin's mom.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 00:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

How to make comments in talk pages[edit]

To make a comment in a talk page

Go to the end of a comment made by a particular user.
Create a blank line between your comment and the previous comment.
Start every line at the beginning of the line, don't allow any blanks at the beginning of your lines.
Indent your comment one more level than the comment you are responding to by putting one or more colons (:) at the beginning of the line.
Sign your comment by putting four tildes at the very end.

Example (by the way, this is just made up; I don't think Craid Hansen is actually a Wikipedia editor, also, the nowiki tag keeps the tildes from changing into my username and time):

The Red Sox are going to the World Series this year. Craig Hansen 02:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Not a chance, the Yankees will whip them in the pennant race. ~~~~

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Tupac Shakur, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. KillerChihuahua^?!? 15:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Usurpation[edit]

Hello, Mike. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given seven days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing: the request will be filled after seven days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed: please log in and make an edit. You may make an edit here saying "No", you may make an edit to blank this page, or any other edit you like; making any edit at all prevents your username from being usurped, because users with edits cannot have their usernames usurped.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. \Mike (z) 20:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
