Edit Summaries

Hi there. 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. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Using accurate edit summaries is one of the best ways to ensure that your good faith edits are not reverted by other editors. — SpikeToronto 07:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Aberdeen Floating Village-Boats.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Aberdeen Floating Village-Boats.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Aberdeen floating village

I see you're apparently trying to move the article back to its previous title.

Two things: copy-and-paste moves often break the chain of attribution required for the copyright licence. So instead, use the "move" tab, or seek assistance at WP:RM. Secondly, I think Olivier's move from Hong Kong Boat People (Aberdeen Floating Village) was a good one. That's a poor title for an article that isn't about people, but rather points of interest in the community. Accordingly, another editor has undone your move to a new title, and kept the existing one.

Finally, when you blank an article you created, it usually means you want the whole thing deleted. In this case, we've got to decline, because of the circumstances: other editors have contributed, and you would eliminate their work (see also the message below). TheFeds 07:30, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I noticed with this edit, you blanked the page for the Aberdeen floating village article. I thought that perhaps you were doing so as per WP:CSD#G7. However, another editor, User:2009571985SHIN09, has also contributed substantially to the article as has editor 218.190.64.15, among others. Therefore, I am not entirely sure that it qualifies for WP:CSD#G7 and noted so when I reverted your edit with this edit. — SpikeToronto 07:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Boat People in Aberdeen-Family-run Seafood Restaurant.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Boat People in Aberdeen-Family-run Seafood Restaurant.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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Aberdeen Floating Village-Boats.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
