Checking In
editThank you. I have a lot to learn and will chip away at it.
So far I've contributed to:
I felt no connection between Laboratory thermometer and phosphor thermometry since the former was not mentioned in the article. For example the thermometer article starts: "A thermometer is a device used to measure temperatures or temperature changes" — clear definition. I just think the Laboratory thermometer article could be better written.
P.S. Maybe you should move your contributions to the User page (User:Swallison) as this talk page is for talk :) (see Wikipedia:User page). feydey 06:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:Wiki_decay_image.JPG
editThanks for uploading Image:Wiki_decay_image.JPG. 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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 12:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

editFile:3 decays plot.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:3 decays plot.JPG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis.

File source problem with File:Low temp multi phosphor plot.JPG
editThank you for uploading File:Low temp multi phosphor plot.JPG. 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.
