Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

Image tagging and uploading to the Commons

edit

Greetings. You are quite correct: it's a good idea to use the most specific tag. Here's why: once we start moving images to the Commons, a bot might move all the {{PD-USGov-NASA}} images over and include Category:NASA images to those. If a NASA image is just tagged {{PD}}, it won't get the category. And someone browsing through all the NASA images won't see it.

Also, it is best to upload images to the Commons, but the Commons is a new thing. We're still sorting out how it will be organized. So we aren't directing people to use it exclusively yet. It'll get there. Also, fair-use images don't get uploaded to the Commons; they have to go to the English Wikipedia only. Eventually all the free-license images on Wikipedia will get moved to the Commons automatically.

Thanks for your interest! And merry Christmas Eve! Quadell (talk) (help) 13:53, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

What are you doing?

edit

Who are you and what are you doing? I saw you add a geo-stub message to Vlorë and Gjirokastër, which while small, I don't think qualifie as stubs. Dori | Talk 23:05, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

Hi RoboAction, this doesn't appear to have been actioned in a little while. After a week we are archiving inactive requests, but I figured I'd give you a chance to respond! I do appreciate you placing these on peer review, really the first step towards a featured article! Good luck with this :-) Ta bu shi da yu 00:25, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have added some comments myself. I'll give you a while longer to see these :-) - Ta bu shi da yu 01:18, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Gmail

edit

Yep. I still have Gmail invites. No one replied since I put the message there. Just let me know what email addresses to send them to. I assume by a pair you mean two. And it looks like I need seperate adresses to do so. Mgm|(talk) 08:18, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

I haven't received it yet, but I did receive previous messages through that system. Try sending it to <my full Wikipedia username>@gmail.com directly. Mgm|(talk) 20:24, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • I've sent the invites. Enjoy! Mgm|(talk) 17:24, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

Massacre article

edit

Hi. The "article" as it stands is deletable as an extremely short article with no content. I'm aware of the tragedy. It's worth an article, but this sure ain't it. It's up to the original poster to make something real out of it in the first place. Wikilove! - Lucky 6.9 04:52, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Make that as the article stood. Looks like a real article now. Best, Lucky 6.9 04:53, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Tweel_promo.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Tweel_promo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Firestone and Ford tire controversy

I have nominated Firestone and Ford tire controversy, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Firestone and Ford tire controversy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
