August 2007 edit

  Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Shaun Lopez. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Miranda 23:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Sorry...I didn't mean to delete anything, I thought I was just editing the section, and didn't realize I was editing the whole page. -- K1darkknight 23:16, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I have removed your warning. Just be careful next time you edit. Thanks. Miranda 23:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I'm usually more careful than that...I was actually about to revert the page, when I saw that you'd already done so. I just made the edit I originally intended to, a much more MINOR format tweak. Incidentally, where (and how) did you do the formatting for your username? You don't type all that formatting stuff manually, each time, I'm sure... -- K1darkknight 23:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I used HTML code, and saved it to my signature box on the preferences panel. More info is located here. You can ask Lights to format your signature. Cheers. Miranda 23:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sweet! Oh, btw...(last questions for now, I promise) Did you use any templates, or anything along those lines for your User Page? Is there a good page that has suggestions for what to include in a User Page, for basics, and to make it a more complete UP? Finally, would you mind if I use the general structure (no actual elements, just the overall layout) of your page, as a guide to start off my own? -- K1darkknight 23:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I am kind of protective of my userpage, because I built that from scratch. You can use the templates, but not the overall format, colors, etc. You can also find other ideas here. Miranda 23:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, no problem. I wasn't referring to the formatting, colors, or anything like that. I just meant the general structure, like picking various sections and type of information to include...stuff like that. Basically, I meant using your page as inspiration. Anyway, I'll check out the links you've posted, and hopefully have a decent UP and signature before long. Thanx a bunch! -- K1darkknight 23:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Nathan Butler edit

 

The article Nathan Butler has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to satisfy the requirements of WP:NAUTHOR.

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

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

License tagging for File:Spin Doctors (band).jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Spin Doctors (band).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) 01:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Spin Doctors (old).jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Spin Doctors (old).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:11, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
