Question

This is User:Tm93. I just read your message at 3:48pm PT, June 11, 2008. I will be more than happy to remove that message. I just have a question about it. What information on it was wrong? I would much appreciate it if I could learn where I went wrong.Tm93 (talk) 23:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fixing my error.Tm93 (talk) 01:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do I submit an article to wikipedia? Also... where do I go to see the quidelines for that article?

I was checking up on User:!Darkfire!6'28'14 and I noticed that there was inapropriate words still on the user page. I just thought that you would like to know. I don't know if it is necessary to take action or not, I just thought that I would bring it to your attention instaed of going to all the pain of re-nominating the page for deletion.Tm93 (talk) 08:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can submit an article by searching for the exact title in the search box on the left. This will tell you if an article already exists on the subject, and if not you'll get a red link that you can click on to start the article. Our guidelines for writing articles are spread across a number of pages, but you'd do best to read the five pillars of Wikipedia for a basic grounding of who we are and what we do, the tutorial, information on how to edit a page and our guide to how to write a great article and, most advanced, the Manual of Style.

Don't worry too much (or even at all) about the content of people's user pages. Wikipedia is not censored for language or images, so our articles can be graphic and our user pages can be, well, robust. We allow people a lot of latitude in their user pages - the use of the word "bitch" on that user's page is very mild compared to many! - only drawing the line at active misuse of Wikipedia or certain types of disruptive behaviour. If you want my advice, stay away from user pages other than when communicating with another user - they meant to be there to facilitate discussion and community cohesiveness, rather than being something important or a means unto themselves. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS used to be a sweet boy 09:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

This is User:Tm93. I wish to thank you for three things.

One: Welcoming me. I was wondering when/if I would get one. Plus I was wondering if I had to do something special to get that welcome... so thanks
Two: Teaching me something new about the guidlines on wikipedia. I will no longer nominate pages for language now that I knpw that. Yes... you are right. "bitch" is not bad compared to all of the others. Frankly... I don't mind those words. I only nominated it because I thought that wikipedia was censored. Now that I know different, I won't place another nomination because of language. Thanks for teaching me more.
Three: Just for having a great attitude instead of getting mad.

What To Do

This is User:Tm93. I was looking at all the different user pages and I came across User:Wikipedia is Neopaganism!. It says on there that he/she is a sock puppet. Do I bother withi t or do I nominate it for deltion?

I never thought that I could learn so much from having an account on wikipedia. I will take your advice from now on and ignore the users, unless they are EXTREEMELY outrageous. You had said that I need to focus more on articles than on users. I am currently getting some info for two different articles. I will focus mainly on those and not on users. If I want to ba an admin... I need to learn from some of the best! Thank You so much. Maybe one day I would have had enough experience to be an excellent admin. I really do appreciate all of the help that you have been to me. If and when I become an admin, I wil state all of the people/users that have helped me get this far. Whether you like or not your name/user name is on that list.
After I finish the two articles that I am working on, if there is any editing work that I find, I will be sure to work on the that and achieve my highest goal.

Thank you

Hello! This morning, you blocked the editor Blackknight93, whom I reported to WP:AIV for vandalism. He wouldn't listen to my warnings, and I am glad you stepped in to halt his mischief. I appreciate your efforts to keep silly vandals off this site, and I just wanted to drop a word of thanks for your fine work. Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 08:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boy that was a quick deletion. It was only up about 45 seconds! Do people really object so strongly to images? SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 10:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a copyright violation, and a big one. Wikipedia:Non-free content says in "Unacceptable uses #10": Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. What we have to remember with images which are copyright and belong to other people is that, whilst they may be fine for use on the non-commercial, educational Wikipedia, many sites take our content and use it in commercial, entertainment settings. So we can't allow them to be used. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS used to be a sweet boy 10:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moving on in light of warnings

Hi Redvers. About the image tagging and talk page notifications incident with Ryulong and Kelly, you said the following at ANI: "It really is now time to move on... but please don't abuse automated tools in future, or you will be blocked again, especially if you don't understand what the problem was in the first place." I've been talking to Kelly and Kylu on their talk pages in the aftermath of this, trying to resolve some of the loose ends in a less confrontational atmosphere than ANI, and one thing that came out at User talk:Kelly#Image tagging and editing approach is that Kelly feels unable to move on until what you said at ANI (which was perceived as a block threat) has been resolved. Given that Future Perfect strongly objected to what you said (and I do too, for the record) and that GMaxwell now says that he thinks "the block was unneeded and inappropriate", and that many people have said this was overblown, do you think you could help everyone move on by clarifying what you meant or even retracting your statement? At the moment, Kelly feels unable to return to image work, and that is not ideal. Do you think you could help resolve this? Carcharoth (talk) 09:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
