I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask at the help desk, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up, probably in less than 15 minutes, to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  · AndonicO ^Talk

You're welcome.

Thank you, in turn, for the kind words about my user page. Feel free to copy anything you like. If you need any help with anything, I'm usually online every day, so I should respond to any questions quite quickly. By the way, pages from wikipedia are usually copied around the internet, so a spambot, or something of the like, could find your e-mail. Usually, e-mails aren't written here, but if you must, that's the best way, so no automated program will find the "@" and ".com". Cheers mate, hope you stick around. :) · AndonicO ^Talk 21:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

A random question from someone you've never met!

Hi! I found your user page simply by looking for people who speak Spanish (based on one of your user boxes), so apologies if this seems like something from out-of-nowhere. I was wondering if you could help me with something small, but Spanish-related. I'd like to ask a Spanish-speaking Flickr user if they would grant GFDL permission for the use of an image of theirs. So, I was wondering if you could help me compose a letter to that person, obviously in Spanish, that does so. Specifically, I would need a request for permission translated, and then help with any additional correspondence. Actually, to make things even simpler, that page has a Spanish equivalent (es:Wikipedia:Modelo de petición para la reproducción de imágenes, though there doesn't seem to be alot of stuff on that page, so maybe not), so perhaps you could recommend one of those pre-fabricated letters, and help me plug-in all the necessary info. If that seems like a hassle don't worry about it, there's plenty of other Spanish-speakers on Wikipedia, you're just the first random person I clicked on. Either way, thanks alot!

Espanol

Hey, thanks for contacting me. I've been super duper busy lately to, so I can definitely empathize. As for the Spanish translation, I got the initial message translated, but I can't get the rest translated. So perhaps you could still help me out? I sent the translated message asking for permission to the guy, and I got this response:

Ciao, sono contento che tu usi questa mia fotografia per wikipedia. Sono anche felice di lasciarla con licenza gnu: l'unica cosa che ti chiedo è che sia specificata la mia paternità. Gabriele

I tried using one of those online translator things, but they didn't help. So, I'm hoping it's good news? There's just one last thing though (and I'm assuming here that he's cool with the idea, but I have no idea from the text). Usually people vaguely say they grant permission, but Wikipedia needs them to be more specific. So I typically need to send out one more message to people to get them to say the right thing:

Great! Thanks so much.

There's just one last thing. Wikipedia is really picky about this: I need you to say something like "I grant Wikipedia permission to use my photograph under the terms of GFDL." Or something along those lines. In fact, you can just copy+paste that and send it back to me if you want! Also, is there a homepage or business page you'd like me to provide a link to?

Thanks again,
-Drew

So if you could help me translate his message, and the assuming I have to send him one more message, translate that one too? That would be awesome. Thanks alot. Drewcifer (talk) 06:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ha! So I apparently I've been barking up the wrong tree the entire time. Well shoot. Thanks for clueing me in. I guess I've got alot more work to do! Drewcifer (talk) 09:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
