Vandalism

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Ciara, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Yamla 17:38, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"I just updated the charts! And I deleted unconfirmed information (The name "Fever" has never been confirmed) - that's no sign for "vandalism" ... So why should I be blocked?"

You did not cite your changes. You've already been warned about that and there's a big warning specifically on the Ciara page itself. --Yamla 13:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your images

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Copyrights, Copyright tags, Fair use, Image description page, Public domain, Images for deletion, Possibly unfree images, Copyright problems, Uploading images

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. Oran e (t) (c) (e) 03:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Date links

This is regarding the article Nelly Furtado. Please note that according to Wikipedia's guidelinies regarding date formatting, "simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so." These should only be linked if they're part of a full date with day & month, as in December 28 2005. If they occure alone, just December or just 2005 or just December 2005, they shouldn't be linked. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 15:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Sailor Moon 01.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sailor Moon 01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ReyBrujo 22:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing

I reverted the changes you made to the track listings for the Nelly Furtado albums. Please see WP:ALBUM for the current guidelines on how to format track listings. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 20:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: Missy tables

Actually, the page was formatted per Wikipedia guidelines, but you changed it a while back to your preferred version, as you've done with many other pages. The boldfacing of numbers, the # symbol and other things are discouraged in charts tables. Also there is no need for you to place UK in parenthesis. "U.S." is formatted with the periods per MoS and there are actually bots that automatically change articles to the correct version. There are discussion pages regarding tables and also how to format lists of works. If you'd like to make sweeping changes to the formatting of pages I'd suggest either first putting a note in article Talk Pages and/or contributing to the WP guidelines discussions to suggest modifications. My revert was not meant as a personal attack on your work. -- eo 15:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Vhab.jpg)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Vhab.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 22:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Date links, again

Hi, I just noticed your edits to Wir sind Helden and would like to remind you that, as I pointed out to you before, you should not link years unless they are part of a full date. Please read Wikipedia's guidelinies regarding date formatting. Thanks. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 07:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking large sections

This message is regarding the page Omarion. Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Yamla 16:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you simply removed the tags on this image rather than correcting the problem. This is considered vandalism. Please do not do so again. You may only remove the warning tags when the underlying problem has been resolved. --Yamla 21:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ciara4.jpg

Hi. Thanks for uploading Image:Ciara4.jpg. Unfortunately, you forgot the mandatory detailed fair-use rationale. Could you please go back and add this? Without this, we are not permitted to use this image and must soon delete it. Thanks. --Yamla 20:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image problems

You seem to be having problems correctly specifying the source, license, and fair-use rationale for the images you upload. Can I ask you please to refrain from uploading any further images until you have sorted out the ones you have already uploaded? Also, please do not upload any more images without correctly specifying this information. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Thanks. --Yamla 18:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
