Many thanks, bibliomaniac15! It would be great if there were a simple "for dummies" protocol somewhere about how to upload a photo into a Wikipedia page in the simplest format. I spent a couple of hours once trying to sort such a procedure out in the help text, but in all the copyright-related legalese and detailed instructions for various kinds of marginal format, I eventually got bogged down. If you know of a 1,2,3-step idiot's guide someplace, by all means point it out to me.

Or should I be posting this message on your talk page?

Upload Images

edit

Thanks for coming back to me. As for a guide, consider using Wikipedia:Uploading images, or the guide to uploading images in the Wikimedia Commons. Thanks for asking. bibliomaniac15 20:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC) PS: And also, if you have a new section to put on a talk page, it's customary to add it at the bottom, not the top. Thanks.Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Elie Dupuis

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Elie Dupuis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
