Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Deli nk 13:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Personal attack? Goodness! Is enquiring on whether you know about parrot and know enough of keeping parrot personal? After all, if someone decide to remove information from a subject, surely we all like to know that person background especially in a subject that person chose to 'edit'. Or are we to accept we have no right at all to ask?

License tagging for Image:Tinkdragoneye500.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Tinkdragoneye500.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sabine's Sunbird talk 10:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

All pages are visible and anyone interested in following it will have no difficulty in doing so. By placing a message in your page I was giving you a friendly waring that your curent editing is slightly out of line. As for the parrot page is currently incomplete and mostly deals with taxonomy but is currently being considered for expansion to cover the important aspects of the biology and conservation of the order.

You saying that kid who deleted that link and who obviously has no clue about parrot is more in line the way you judge it? As said, if its just on taxonomy I will not be there. Then what about those other links? They are basically a collection of anecdotes which are that encylopedic?

Your views have that much more impact if you tell me who you are and your background in the parrot world. Why must you remain in the dark when doing what you think you must do?

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.

A barnstar for you!

File permission problem with File:Tinkdragoneye500.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Tinkdragoneye500.jpg, which you've attributed to uploader's wife. 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
