Alienware Bot[edit]

The edit history shows that the term referred to one of their low-end PCs. So it's a valid term but not notable enough for it's own article. --Steve _(Stephen)^talk 04:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhhh ok, I remember it. It was their PC in a case made by Shuttle That they called the "Bot". Misleading at first. Sorry! :) -Mike Payne 17:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alienware article[edit]

I'm not hear to Alienware <3 or bash, personally I've had no trouble with mine and I'm happy with it. I guess I'm just leaving you a Kudos for the way you dealt with the ... "more aggressive"... editors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GBobly (talk • contribs)

Unspecified source for Image:Jennafischer.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Jennafischer.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}} 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 02:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Metros 02:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

accidental creation

BJ Novak[edit]

Well, I added a picture of him that he had from his MySpace, which I added before I knew the whole copyright business of Wikipedia. But, I also added a picture of him comparing the Cadbury eggs, where I do not know why aren't there anymore... Xihix 00:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: IMDB images[edit]

I'm not really sure about image uploading on Wikipedia, however from my quick glance through IMDB I could not find any sort of license on pictures apart from copyrights on some. So, my guess is you either have to ask IMDB, or ask each copyright holder's permission to use them here. --Razor ICE 10:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, just cropping a photograph that someone else took does not count as you creating it yourself, as you did not technically "create" the image yourself. From Wikipedia:Image_use_policy: remember that rights to images generally lie with the photographer You can find free images here. You might also want to ask at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights about the IMDB pictures. --Razor ICE 12:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

==Actor images==[edit]

Sorry for the tardy reply. The problem with photos on imdb is that they are copyright of someone so permission would be needed from the photographer before they could be used here. I tried an imdb photo once and it was deleted within a week. The explaination was that these are usually official photographs taken of the event and released to imdb to promote a film or actor. Hope that answers the question? (Quentin X 12:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use[edit]

Sorry, I'm not really sure. Have you asked on Wikipedia talk:Non-free content? Maybe I can ask around on IRC if you can't get an answer there. Peace, delldot talk 01:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This day in history July 26[edit]

To an extent I agree with you it is difficult to know the guidelines as to what is considered eligible for inclusion. However it is only a few clicks away, the Talk:July 26 page says that July 26 is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year where Wikicalendar Guidelines are to be found.

The guidelines are few and in my opinion too lenient in respect of listing people, but fairly clear as to events “Items listed under "Events" should be notable on a global scale”. And perhaps it is reasonable to note also that as well as being globally notable today they will still need to be notable 10 years from now, which is the most difficult test to self apply.

I see you have reinstated the entry in question, and although I will not remove it at the moment, however I suspect another editor will notice it and do so in the next few days. Perhaps you might like to remove it yourself rather than wait for that to happen. --Drappel 12:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting user subpages[edit]

You tagged some user subpages for deletion today, the user retaliating by blanking your user page and got blocked appropriately. I have found from experience that other users, while not being so excessive, also get irritated if you mark their pages for deletion. I usually fix double redirects or circular redirects but leave the pages themselves, since the cost of disk space is not an important factor on wikipedia. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

.js pages[edit]

Javascript pages are protected because they contain executable code that could damage someone's computer. Only the user associated with the account the page is in can edit the page (or an administrator). -N 15:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are automatically protected, no matter what their content. And the answer is you can't edit them. Put a {{editprotected}} on the page's talk page if you really must repair it. -N 15:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Well that one page is CALLED DOUBLE REDIRECT and it's there intentionally. The other ones are protected .js files. Like I said, use editprotected if you feel they need to be fixed. -N 15:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - User:Cyde is an administrator and he's using it for testing. The double redirects aren't as big a deal as you think they are. They are impeded to prevent infinite recursive loops. Please, either do as I suggest or drop the matter. -N 15:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Unreferenced" tags[edit]

I've noticed you've been tagging lots of articles (I'm looking at Billy Joel albums right now) with unreferenced tags. Please remember to place these tags at the very top of the edit text, before the album infoboxes -- otherwise, the layout of the article can get a bit messed up. Cheers, Pele Merengue 13:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it, it's a common occurence. Tags, infoboxes, images, headers... they all affect the layout of text, so it takes some experimenting to see whether or not something is in the best possible place. Pele Merengue 22:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: External links[edit]

Hi again Mike! Good to hear from you :)
Regarding your question, yes it is possible to show only the link (not the number) without doing the whole [url url] thing.
All you have to do is write down the link (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki) with no square brackets at all, but make sure it has the http:// bit in the start.

The example you provided: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_Cruise&diff=cur&oldid=prev

If you edit this section you will see I did not write [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_Cruise&diff=cur&oldid=prev], only http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_Cruise&diff=cur&oldid=prev

Hope that helps! --Razor ICE 09:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Everquest EQ Mac forum link[edit]

Twinklebot deleted a link to the unofficial forums for Everquest for the Macintosh. I have added back in the link to EQmac.com. The "official" Everquest for Macintosh forum is moribund and unused and, while "official", utterly useless as a resource for EQMac users. JohnInDC 23:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
