My friend, Edo,MD,PhD, wants to edit the page on reclaimed wastewater. Edo is one of the world's leading scientists in water quality, has represented the US on the environment in Africa, and is currently a consultant to EPA and the wastewater association.
He knows nothing about Wikipedia. His edits were rejected because they were too long and improperly referenced. He does not have time to learn the rules of editing and has asked me to help him. THis is ironic, because not only is Wikipedia new to me, I am technically illiterate, and struggling to understand the vocabulary. I have rewritten what he wrote, including the references and want to either resubmit it, or be adopted by someone who can walk me through the system. I do not know how to put my changes on the page, and to use headers.Please advise me. helpmeNotindustry (talk) 11:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 19:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I was able to do my edits. Now I would like advice on creating links between articles. helpmeNotindustry (talk) 15:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Hi Notindustry. I was just fixing some templates, doing some non-controversial cleanup. Is there something you found wrong with my edits? Thanks, PeterSymonds(talk) 11:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Of course you can; always happy to help. :) And it sounds like you've got a good project running there. Anything you need, just give me a shout. Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 15:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see. To format a reference, you must enclose them like this: <ref>Details</ref>. That's why they're not appearing. I've fixed some of them in the history section. Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 15:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't appear you're logged in. Go to Special:Userlogin and log in again; it should work. :) To insert an image, use this string: [[Image:Imagename.jpg|right|thumb|Caption]]. For |right| part of that string, that's the alignment; put either right or left in there. For example:
[[Image:Example.jpg|right|thumb|Example image]] will produce:

Not at all. :) All the photos on that page are on the Wikimedia Commons, which means they're all freely licensed images. In effect, that means you can use them anywhere, for any purpose, and certainly have no limitations for use on Wikipedia. The only images you've got to be careful about are non-free images. To check for these, check the section ==Licensing== on the image page. You will see it's free unless it tells you otherwise, in which case it's a non-free image that specifically meets inclusion for that article only. But yes, there are few of those, so the majority of images you'll be able to use. :) If you're unsure, you know where I am. Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 23:14, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
You don't need to upload them everytime you want them used. :) You can just put the image on using [[Image:Filename.jpg|right|thumb|This is an image]] So for the one on Cloaca maxima, which is on the Commons, use [[Image:Cloaca Maxima 2.jpg|right|thumb|Cloaca maxima]] If the image is on Wikipedia or the Commons, anywhere, it can be used on any article without the need for reuploading. Just use the file string and it will place the image there. So [[Image:Filename.jpg|right|thumb|This is an image]] will produce: File:Cloaca Maxima 2.jpgCloaca maxima on any page on Wikipedia. :) Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 20:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Cloaca.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 "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cloaca maxima.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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kirby bauer disk diffusion test.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

I have changed the name and format of the image I want to upload. It is now kirby bauer disk diffusion test, jpeg. This is the way it appears in my documents, but I cannot upload it. It is a government cdc photograph in the public domain which has been previously used on the 'antibiotics' page of Wikipedia. I have altered it a little, but I can remove my changes. Please help
==please help== I have uploaded "kirby bauer disk diffusion test"jpg, to Wikipedia. I cannot get the image on the reclaimed water page. It is a cdc gov't document which I got from Antibiotics page on Wikipedia. I altered it slightly( I cleaned it up and added small numbers on the results.) If that is the problem I can remove changes.

I'm not giving up on you. :) Did you send me a message before? Sorry, I must have missed it! I'm quite happy to help. For images, the GNU is the type of license for the image, in this case, a free license. This gives anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to use the image. If the image is your own, however, I suggest licensing it either into the public domain (put {{pd-self}} as the license) or release it under GFDL. You can find more links to this type of license in Special:Upload. See also Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more information. I hope this helps, and sorry for not noticing your previous message (which I've just found in my archives, sorry about that!). Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 19:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I used GNU license for 'kirby bauer disk diffusion test' image. It was still removed. What am I doing wrong?Notindustry (talk) 12:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Fixed. The bot was removing it because it didn't have a license, so I put one on for you. The bot shouldn't touch the image now (hopefully! If it does let me know). Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 22:59, 9 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome. :) Feel free to hassle me if I'm not quick at responding. I sometimes miss messages that appear - that happens rarely - but I'm always happy to lend a hand. Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 13:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The section was removed by Tslifko (talk·contribs) here. I've added the paragraph back in, but there seems to be some concern over the copyright status of one of the images. I'm investigating this, and will add it back in if there are no issues. Best, PeterSymonds(talk) 14:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
