Please use edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Mark83 16:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Kimi at Wrooom 2007

Hey. When you use an image as "not copyrighted", you must be able to verify the status. The image in question is most likely copyrighted to some F1 media, and probably not to www.kimiraikkonenforever.com, but this website has just found it somewhere. Good source for free images is, for example, Flickr. As Wikipedia:Uploading images puts it: Please note that most images you might find on the Internet are copyrighted and not appropriate for uploading to Wikipedia. If you did not create the image or are unable or unwilling to verify its copyright status, do not upload the image. Thanks, Prolog 22:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, but please make sure to get a permission for anyone to use and modify the image, even commercial organizations. A permission to use it on Wikipedia is not enough. Prolog 11:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationales

Do not remvoe the {{no rationale}} tag unless you supply a fair use rationale. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline. In their current state, the images of the Naked News girls should be deleted. I will be restoring the tags. If you remove them again without supplying a fair use rationale, it will be considered vandalism. Jay32183 22:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The change was that I finally noticed the problem. Are you actually reading about fair use rationales. I did not tag the images as missing sources, I tagged them as not explaining why they are compliant with the fair use criteria. Since 2006-05-04, that has been a criterion for speedy deletion after being tagged for seven days. You are not being targetted, Naked News is not being targetted. Jay32183 23:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The other images were uploaded before 2006-05-04 so the {{no rationale}} template cannot be used. They also need {{fair use rationale}} but they cannot be added to the list for speedy deletion. There will probably be another problem with the images if you do manage to write a fair use rationale. One part of the rationale is explaining why the unfree image cannot be replaced by a free image, which I'm not sure you will be able to do. Check Image:ReikaMishimaWings.jpg#Fair use for List of RahXephon media for an example of what fair use rationale means. Jay32183 01:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Innapropriate Images?

Hello,

What are these "innapropriate" images you speak of? I only upload images for album and single covers. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks --Readytodie 03:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Benetton nationality

Hi VincentG. FYI, another user has replied to the comment you left on my talk page (I wasn't sure whether you were watching my talk page or not). Note that I'm happy for the discussion to continue there. DH85868993 13:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi VincentG. I've transferred the discussion from my talk page to the Benetton template talk page to make it more widely visible. Regards. DH85868993 08:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove the live score? El-Nin09 19:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not a place to post Live scores, it's the final result that counts.VincentG 20:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

F1 car numbers

Hi, would like to check with you the references for the car numbers for williams and mclaren. Without any cited references, they would be removed sooner or later by someone! - oahiyeel ^talk 03:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Whitney Saint-John

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Whitney Saint-John, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non-notable. No reliable sources to verify notability independent from Naked News.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Talk pages are not for opinions on the subject

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Lotus F1 Team are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. ^IIIV_IX (Talk) 23:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:57, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
