Welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. You may also want to check out Wikipedia:Merge, for information about merging, renaming and moving pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log; if you made any edits before getting an account, you may wish to assign those to your username.

By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments.

Finally, here are some open tasks:


You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)

Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.

Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.

Hope to see you around the Wiki! Remember to be Bold! with your edits, and if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me on my talk page!
  • I'm still new at this submitting any kind of articles. How do I put a copyright on most pics I submitted? And will people will editing too, because I certainly hopes so. Thank you.

Hi, it is fairly simple. You can see the copyright tags here, and then you return to the image you uploaded, Edit the image, just like you edit a normal article. If the image happens to be a screenshot, then you can use {{screenshot}}, all of these tags are listed on the copyright tags page.

If you would like to see all the images that you uploaded, you can do that by clicking My contributions at the top of the page, and it will show you all the articles/images you have worked on.

Other editors may add tags to your images, if they do not know where the image came from; such as {{unverified}} or {{no source}}. You can remove those tags, if you replace them with the appropriate tag, a URL may be helpful too. If you are not sure which tag to use, provide the URL of where you got the image, and use {{fair use}} tag.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask any more questions. <>Who?¿? 7 July 2005 08:47 (UTC)

Image:Duncan.gif

edit

I was looking at the 2 highlander shots you added the copyright tags to. The shot in particular, Image:Duncan.gif, does not seem like a screen shot to me at all. I think it needs some sort of other tag. --ZeWrestler 7 July 2005 12:20 (UTC)

  • i don't know what kind of other tag, this is new for me...maybe you can help me? i've been reading the templates, and it's pretty confusing 'cause english my second language. i got the images from various websites years ago, i don't even remember where did i get the image. if you could just help editing the article and images, that would be great. thanks. HoneyBee 7 July 2005 15:29 (UTC)
    • hmm. best bet i can think of is finding the websites you got them from. then maybe we might be able to list them with a proper tag that wont have them deleted. if not, we might have to delete them and find new images. best i can tell you right now, if you have any other questions just let me know. --ZeWrestler 7 July 2005 15:38 (UTC)

question about image

edit

hi, how do i make an image appear smaller? or maybe can you help me with this article about the highlander series, thanks...

When you use the image tag, you can put "thumb" and then the size, like "150px", for example. You can experiment with the number of pixels to make it bigger or smaller. Here is an example of how it would look.
[[Image:image.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Put image description here]]

Also, see: Wikipedia:Extended image syntax, for other ways to use the image tag.

question about deleting an article

edit

i just wanna ask whether people can just delete other people's article...because mine is just been deleted... i tried to do according to the rules and regulations like copyright, images, links and all. but if other people can just delete other articles, that would be a waste of time, right? i don't mind if people editing, their contribution would be appreciate it. but if they just going to delete the whole thing, why bother writing an article? i know you've been in this wikipedia thing a long time than me, is there anything i should know about making an article?

Hi, which article was it? I dont think it will show up in your contribs, if it was deleted. But, NO, any normal user cannot delete your article. It either got speedy deleted (admin only), or it got put on votes for deletion. If you give me the name of it, I can look.

Also, part of the reason I welcome people, is some of the links provided, have topics on how to create and edit articles. I should probably go through it and make sure all the links are clear and helpful. I dont mind helping you find any information on article editing/style, I learned mostly by just looking at the code others used, and of course the sandbox. Get back to me with the name of that other article, and we'll go from there. <>Who?¿? 07:48, 12 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

it seems they are trying to edit the page, but by erasing the most part

Hi, I looked at its history, and only one other person edited the article, besdies yourself. If you look here, it seems you accidentally deleted a section when you saved. This happens sometimes, jsut becareful, but you can always go back to a previous saved version by using history.

It hasn't been put on Vfd, or you would have seen a large banner (see this {{Vfd}} for example) on the top. And, yes, If it does get put on Vfd, all users have the opportunity to vote.

You mentioned English is not your first language? Have you been to the other language sites of Wikipedia? Not that I don't want you here :) , just want to make sure you know of the several languages that Wiki is in. I'm going to look at the links I provided at the top in the welcome, and get back with you later with some possible good help topics on editing. By the way, you can put brackets [[ ]], anywhere on wiki, to point to an article on wiki. Duncan MacLeod. <>Who?¿? 08:12, 12 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

personal pic

edit

Hi, if I put a personal pic to my user page, should I put a copyright tag too? And can I delete the pic (from the image page) if I decided later on not to put it? Thanks.... HoneyBee 08:50, 2 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yep, you can pretty much put whatever you want on your userpage.. And if you took the picture, or a friend, then put {{PD-self}} as the copyright tag. If you ever want to delete it, put {{db}} tag on it. Example: {{db|As the creator of this image, I request deletion}}.

Hope that answers your questions. :) Who?¿? 09:37, 2 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Highlander

edit

Usually if the entry was taken from a website, if verbatim, they consider it a copyvio. Even with the encyclopedia britannica 1911, although it has not copyright status, some editors will flag it, if the text and formatting is not changed. I am not sure what particular sections are being considered that, my suggestion would be to ensure that the entries are not a verbatim copy. Make some changes to sentence structure and wording. Although I agree that some text on websites should be considered fairuse, it can still be argued that its the work of the editor,and not such. Hope that helps. Who?¿? 02:11, 6 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Ahh, yea, I see what they are getting at. Best thing to do, is make a copy of the article on a sub-page like Episodes of Highlander (Season 1)/temp, and then edit the synopsis to not be even close to the original. I see that a few of them are worded very different, and some aren't, its just best to make sure that they arent close. As far as the style and layout, I see no probs, as its pretty common. Just make a note on the talk page that you are doing a temp page, and provide the link, so that users involved know what's happening. Who?¿? 05:30, 6 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Yea, they shouldn't delete it right away, especially if you make a note on the talk page. Your welcome to use anything off my page, but the wikistress meter isn't mine, its a wiki thing :). Use it like {{wstress3d|1|200px|My current stress level}}; changing the 1 to 1-4, and the comment at the end is for whatever you want, oh and of course you can change the size too :) Just in case, I just made a special version, 4a, if you get really stressed out. You can see it in use here. Who?¿? 05:59, 6 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

question regarding pics

edit

Hi, most of the articles that I make contains pics which already in my computer files, some of them are even 10 years old. I got those pics from the internet, God knows which websites I don't remember, some of them aren't even exist anymore. Now, how do I put the tag for those pics? Copyright? Screenshot? I don't want them to get deleted if there aren't proper tag. What should I do? Thanks. HoneyBee

Hi again. Hmm, that's a tough one with the new copyright rules. You can use {{screenshot}} for anything that is of course a screenshot of tv/web/computer etc.., however, these can only be used to describe the show/website/program they were actually taken from. As far as pictures of celebrities or misc people, if they were taken by a professional photographer, they have to be labeled as such, and their usage is now completely limited, if allowed at all. It really depends on the image and it's usage, and to be honest, I haven't even caught up with the new copyright rules in use. I would be willing to look at any you have already uploaded, if you need. I can refer you to someone more experienced with the new rules, if you need further assistance with proper tagging. «»Who?¿?meta 13:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Why such high wikistress? Is there anything I can do to help? -- Essjay · Talk 14:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hey, yea. I was just about to goto you or RW. You two deal with the new copyright rules and images dont' you? You think you can better help with the above question? «»Who?¿?meta 14:55, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sure, I can help. First, if you don't know the source, don't guess. If you can figure out what the use is (i.e., screenshot or fairuse) then tag it as such. Otherwise, the images can't be used here. The best person I can think of on image issues is User:Kelly Martin. KM can help you figure out which ones are which; I'd be happy to go through a list and makea guess at it if you'd like. -- Essjay · Talk 15:07, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Re: question about pics

edit

Hi, I just added a pic (Richie Ryan ). I got the pic from my file, and I had it for years, and I really don't remember where I got it. So what kind of tag I should put? I am making articles about Highlander:The Series and its characters. Pretty much confused here, and I don't want to be blocked or something... Thanks. HoneyBee

If you do not recall where you found the original, you must not upload the image. Our image use policy requires that all images used on Wikipedia be sourced, meaning that they have a statement indicating who created them. I'm afraid that if you can't remember where it came from, it will have to be deleted. Kelly Martin (talk) 12:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
At Kelly's request, I searched for the two images on the Richie Ryan (Highlander) page. I found a place where you might've gotten Image:Richieryan.jpg, but I can't determine its copyright status. Image:Rich123.jpg, however, doesn't exist in that form anywhere in Google's index. There's an image that looks like it might be the same original picture, only shrunk down and given a dodgy border, but that's clearly not your source. I've tagged both images appropriately. Cheers, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 13:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your message on my talk page. If you find an image on the Internet that's identical to one on your hard disk, I reckon you could probably cite it as a source – citing sources does more than just indicate where we got an image from, it also gives a hint on what the copyright status is.
I don't think the image copyright holders have released all rights. I suspect Image:Richieryan.jpg might be a promotional photograph and therefore possibly usable under the doctrine of fair use, but a) we need some evidence that it is a promotional photograph before we can use it (just in case we're wrong), and b) it looks like I might be wrong about what makes a promophoto, so I can't guarantee that it would be usable even if we did know precisely where it came from.
Kelly thinks that Image:Rich123.jpg might be a cropped screenshot from Highlander. I wouldn't know, not having watched the programme (I don't even know if it's available in Australia), but if you can tell us whether or not it's an image that has appeared on the programme, that would be great. A screenshot would be fair use to illustrate the character of Richie Ryan (Highlander), and possibly (we haven't resolved this question) Stan Kirsch as well. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 07:46, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

templates

edit

Hey, yes, any editor can add just about any tag to any page they feel necessary, with good reason. so feel free to add the {{cleanup}} (the {{cleanup-date}} tag is preferable though) tag to pages you think need some serious help. The main difference between an admin and user is mostly the ability to delete, block and protect, we are more janitors than anything else, you have just as much rights to do something on Wiki as anyone else, within reason :) Here is a page with useful templates you can use Wikipedia:Template messages.

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Csonri.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 04:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Linking to Highlander: The Series

edit

Hello there...

I was going through the Highlander: The Series links, and found a redirect page from Highlander:The Series. You may not automatically see the difference, but there is one...

Highlander: The Series
Highlander:The Series

The space between the colon (:) and the word "The" is the correct way of linking to the series page. The remaining links to Highlander:The Series are on your userpage and in comments you have left elsewhere. Would you please be so kind as to alter those links to go directly to the article Highlander: The Series? You can find them by going to the What Links Here page of Highlander: The Series or Highlander:The Series page.

Thanks!

Hi HoneyBee~enwiki! How are you?

WikiProject Indonesia invites you to join the project, and we are sure that you can help us greatly there. WikiProject Indonesia is a project dedicated to improve all articles related to Indonesia and currently we have got 37 members.

Here are some things you can help us with:

  • Assessment: It's where you can tag Indonesia-related articles out there with our project banner and help us gather all articles.
  • Cartography: Or maybe you can draw maps? It is a very important sector of our project, since Indonesia is a big country with thousands of islands, maps could be very useful.
  • Collaboration: Every fortnight, we choose a short article that needs to be looked at and we improve that particular article together. The main goal is, of course, to reach featured article status.
  • Or you can just help us expand articles related to Indonesia.

Have fun and see you there!. -- Imoeng 12:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image tagging

edit

G'day HoneyBee,

thanks for your message. It looks like {{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link}} would be the way to go for you. However, I can't remember my Indonesian lessons, so you'll have to read the English template to see if it accurately describes what the Indonesian template says. It's my guess that you'd do something like {{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link|[http://www.kapanlagi.com/ kapanlagi.com]}} to produce the English equivalent of the Indonesian template.

Fair use rationale for Image:Narnia1pt.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Narnia1pt.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

  Thanks for uploading File:Little Women (1994) poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Proposed deletion of Reality, Love, and Rock'N Roll

edit
 

The article Reality, Love, and Rock'N Roll has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources beyond IMDB, and I can't seem to find any. Seems as such to not be notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File source problem with File:Rog12.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Rog12.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 17:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Trioimmortal.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Trioimmortal.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Replaceable fair use File:News-batbegins1-1.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:News-batbegins1-1.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 12:47, 11 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Adrkiss.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Adrkiss.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
