Close paraphrasing

Hello, CCevo 2010;

I just wanted to let you know to watch out for close paraphrasing of sources, as I noticed that some of your additions to Pachycephalosauria were getting into that zone. Thank you! J. Spencer (talk) 01:08, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:04-glow-07.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:04-glow-07.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Ccevo2010, I deleted this image. It was an unambiguous copyright violation taken from this PBS website: [1]. Unless it is explicitly stated that the image is licensed in the public domain, creative commons (without restrictions), or some other acceptable license for Wikipedia, a good rule of thumb to follow is assume everything on the web and in print is under copyright. Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted images. You can read more about which image licenses are agreeable at WP:COPYVIO. The same issue applies to text, so be careful and write in your own words. You can often use Flickr to search for free images by going to the advanced search, scrolling to the bottom, and checking all three creative-commons boxes (Wikipedia cannot use images or material licensed by Creative Commons that restrict commercial use or adaptations). Hope that helps! Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 01:13, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Again, Ccevo2010, this image you uploaded was from a published article under copyright. The article and journal state nothing about creative commons licensing and the top of the article states "�© Springer-Verlag 2004," a good indication that it's not an image Wikipedia can use. Please reply here to acknowledge you have read and understand this message. Further copyright violations will result in your account being blocked. Rkitko ^(talk) 13:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Ccevo2010, thank you for your edits! Counter-illumination is a great first article which I'll nominate to be in the did you know? section of the main page. If you can expand it any further it would be great. If you're citing papers, you'll find that {{cite doi}} is a very useful template to use. It allows you to add the digital object identifier (DOI) of a paper to the template and then instead of having to copy the whole reference yourself, a computer comes along and fills it in for you. Here's an example of what it look like in code: {{Cite journal| last1 = Schultz | first1 = T.| last2 = Brady | first2 = S.| title = Major evolutionary transitions in ant agriculture| journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America| volume = 105| issue = 14| pages = 5435–5440| year = 2008| pmid = 18362345| pmc = 2291119| doi = 10.1073/pnas.0711024105|bibcode = 2008PNAS..105.5435S }} which forms:

Schultz, T.; Brady, S. (2008). "Major evolutionary transitions in ant agriculture". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. 105 (14): 5435–5440. Bibcode:2008PNAS..105.5435S. doi:10.1073/pnas.0711024105. PMC 2291119. PMID 18362345.

By adding reference tags it'll show up as normal in the reference section. (There are also {{cite pmid}} and {{cite jstor}} which do similar things). Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Happy editing. SmartSE (talk) 23:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

adaptive value of hemoglobin loss in Channichthyidae

Hi -- you recently wrote in Channichthyidae that "hemoglobin loss was probably not adaptive because icefish had to develop many more adaptations to compensate for the loss". Do you have a source for that? I don't have access to the two sources at the end of the paragraph, so I don't know whether they say anything about that. On the Amazon page for The Making of the Fittest (which is recommended for further reading in the article), there's an editorial review that says: "For example, the Antarctic ice fish today has no red blood cells; yet a fossilized gene for hemoglobin remains in its DNA, showing that the fish has adapted over 55 million years by losing the red blood cells that thicken blood and make it harder to pump in extreme cold." That makes more sense to me -- it would be a weird coincidence if out of all the organisms with hemoglobin one family happened to lose it and they just happen to live in extreme conditions, but with no causal connection, wouldn't it?

Another point that you might be able to help with: the article says "less than 10%" (which seems like quite a lot to me), but the article on Notothenioidei says "1%" -- do you know where to find out more about that? Joriki (talk) 16:03, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussion for Sleep architecture

An article that you have been involved in editing, Sleep architecture, has been proposed for a merge with another article.

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. & Happy New Year! - 220 of ^Borg 23:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

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.
