I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
BTW, I hope you don't mind, but I subst'ed the stub template you put on your user page - it put your user page in a category for editors to expand articles, which user pages should never go into. Grutness...wha? 01:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Help tag[edit]
Hi, I noticed your {{helpme}} tag. What can I do for ya? -- Merope Talk to me/Review me 22:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I need some help with inserting picture files. --Skaritista 22:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Skaritista User talk:Skaritista
- Okay! Have you uploaded the images yet? You can do that by clicking here. Once you've uploaded the file, you can insert it by using the code [[Image:FILENAME.jpg]]. I can provide more specific help if you tell me what article you're working on. -- Merope Talk to me/Review me 22:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Keysa.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Keysa.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 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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.
Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 22:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted your image to the previous one. As can be seen in the original photo's file history, this is a free use image taken by a Wikipedia contributor and released into the public domain. Your image, taken in a studio, is most likely a promotional shot, and therefore probably copyrighted by the owner. Wikipedia:Image use policy in this regard is very strict.
Also, they are strict about photos where the uploader does not specify the copyright status of the image (as you failed to do). As can be seen on your image's page, unless you specify the copyright status, the image will be deleted in the next seven days. I hope this helps. --DeLarge 00:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you recently put a question on WP:VFAQ. I have removed it from there. Please ask the questions at help desk instead. Regarding including a stub tag to an article, have a look at Wikipedia:Stubs. Let me know if you need any more assistance -- Lost(talk) 03:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikifun[edit]
Round 14 is starting just about now. --Spondoolicks 16:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
