How can I request a "semi-protection" I looked at the protection page on Wikipedia but i haven't a breeze how to do it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way is to file a request at WP:RFPP, is that the page you looked at? There are instructions on that page, drop me a line on my user talk page if you have any questions, maybe mention what article you're concerned with having protected. --joe deckertalk to me 18:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Problems with upload of File:Phil Davis.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Phil Davis.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Phil Davis.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 20:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 20:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Brian Ebersole

edit
 

The article Brian Ebersole has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Paste Let’s have a chat. 16:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Page protection

edit

I'm not sure if you understood this when you added the pp-semi-protection template to that page, but only an administrator can actually protect pages. That template won't show up on the page unless the page is in fact semi-protected. You can recommend a page to be semi-protected here. ~Ttony21(talk, contribs) 19:19, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Danoxx1. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
