The Wikipede and the Picture Tutorial. (image credit)

Welcome!

Hello, RichardCacioppo, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that you have an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that:

• Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• Most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• Freely-licensed images may be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images, from where they can be used on Wikipedia and many other wikis?
• We recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

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 have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

there was a message on my wiki page that said....

This article uses bare URLs for citations. Please consider adding full citations so that the article remains verifiable. Several templates and the Reflinks tool are available to assist in formatting. (Reflinks documentation) (February 2013) This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. You can assist by editing it. (February 2013)

I want to correct the errors but I don't know where to start. I did a spell check but I can't get the message to go away...RichardCacioppo (talk) 20:21, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

February 2013

Hello, I'm Narutolovehinata5. An edit that you recently made seemed to be a test and it has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 16:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Can someone please advise me on how to get the error message/banner at the top of the page to disappear? RichardCacioppo (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Can you please tell me how to delete my photos. I want to delete them from my contribution on Wikimedia, and start over again. I can't figure out how to delete the photos. RichardCacioppo (talk) 16:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

If you want, that the photos uploaded by you are deleted, than place {{db-g7}} on the file. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 09:54, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Davison cleaner fnal 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Davison cleaner fnal 2.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. 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, select the appropriate license tag from this list, 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 can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Pansini Final.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Pansini Final.jpeg. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 18:39, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Blue Pearl robotic pool cleaner.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Blue Pearl robotic pool cleaner.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Stop

You are uploading images, claiming that you made them, but they are quite obviously from advertising medium. Just because you scan it, doesn't mean you created it. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright violations seriously (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

You were asked to stop, you did not, please can you amend the File information for each of the files explaining where they came from or I will be forced to nominate ALL of your file uploads that you claim are yours for deletion on grounds of disputed licensing.

Disambiguation link notification for February 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Old Stone Arch Bridge (Bound Brook Borough, Middlesex, New Jersey), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New Hope and Piscataway (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much. will the "Dab Solver" fix or remove all of the disambiguous links contained in the article? RichardCacioppo (talk) 18:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
