Changing a page's title

edit

Hi DarMol. Here on Wikipedia, if we want to change the title of an article, there is a special "move" tab at the top of the article which allows us to rename it. By using the "move" feature instead of copy-and-pasting it at a new title, it preserves the history of edits to the article at that particular article, instead of leaving them behind at the old title. I have corrected this on this occasion for you. - Mark 06:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Images

edit

Please, when you upload an image to the Wikipeida, do it to commons:Special:Upload at commons:, this way it will be available to all the wikiprojects and not onls to the English Wikipedia. Thank you very much, Mariano 08:29, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well thanks for the comment, I didn't know that. Do you know if the images from English Wikipedia can be moved to commons:? DarMol 4 August 2005

No need to move the conversation to the other page (at least I follow the other person's talk for a while if I leave a message there) I'm affraid there's no way to move images from en: to commons: The Files part of the wikipedia is quite static; you can't even rename an image. BTW: try to put something in your User:DarMol page so it's not red (kinda of outcast in here). Take care, and good wiking. Mariano 07:19, 5 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

  Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Juan Esteban Pedernera, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Vice Presidents of Argentina

edit

I have a small idea for the vice president's info box (From Juan Esteban Pedernera):

Preceded by Vice-President of Argentina
(of: Santiago Derqui)
1860-1861
Succeeded by
Preceded by President of Argentina
1861
Succeeded by

Use it if you like it. -Mariano 07:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Image Tagging Image:Rviola.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Rviola.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --SCEhardT 00:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

This also applies to any other images you uploaded that do not have a source cited. Look here for a full list. Thanks! -SCEhardT 00:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Rpuerta.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

  • The copyright holder, and
  • The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

  • The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.
  • The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.
    • Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.
  • Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --SCEhardT 00:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

List of Mayors of Buenos Aires

edit

He there! Just wanted to tell you that your recently created List of Mayors of Buenos Aires already exited at List of Mayors and Chief of Government of Buenos Aires. I'll try to merge both. Mariano(t/c) 08:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Welcome...

... to WikiProject Argentina! If you're an Argentinian, you can/should categorize yourself so, adding [[Category:Wikipedians of Argentina]] to your user page. You can also characterize your knowledge of different languages using Wikipedia:Babel. If you have any questions, just ask (though I see you've been doing a lot of fine work by yourself already!). —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 02:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
