But I can't figure out how to use that fancy Teahouse template. :) Tlqk56 (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

LOL - Tlqk56 you can find the templates here - Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Templates - but if you are not used to them there is no issue. The important thing is exactly what you did - letting people known that there are people ready to help and doing it! P^)

Take a Break and Have Some Fun

edit

Hi, Chris. Have you clicked on any other users' names and looked at their userpages? You can make yours look like that, too. I learned from Pluma's tutorial page titled Fun Stuff. When you need a break, click on Fun Stuff and, well, have some fun.

Don't get frustrated with getting Behind the Burma Road accepted. It's one of those cases where the book is "often quoted but seldom written about." It definitely does meet notability and is a source document for history articles and books in government and academia. Stay bold in defending the value of the article. Take care, DocTree (talk) 23:39, 28 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Towards the top of each talk page on the right side there's a tab that says "New Section". Click that, and a box pops up with a place for the heading and body of your message.

You can erase the messages on your page by clicking the edit box, highlighting, and using Control + X to erase them, then re-saving the blank. There may be another way, but that's how I do it, anyway.Tlqk56 (talk) 00:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jacob1.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Jacob1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Villanova Wildcats men's basketball, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jay Wright and Josh Hart (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Proposed deletion of File:Kachin Ranger Insignia.jpg

edit
 

The file File:Kachin Ranger Insignia.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 28 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Anna Daines

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 Anna Daines 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. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://annadaines.com/bio. 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.

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Neanderthal, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 08:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
