User talk:Oklonia

Sorry, everybody. I missed April Fools Day (I was away) and just wanted to pull a harmless prank. I'm done though. Until next year... Oklonia 03:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Misunderstanding

That was not directed at you. It came up on my watchlist, the edit before yours which was vandalism, said "Hi Mom" or something like that. So I reverted that [1]. Somewhere between when I did that and saved it you made an edit. Sorry.. it happens. K1Bond007 03:06, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

Notability

Hello. Notability is not a reason for speedy delete. Please do not put {{delete}} on articles unless they are gibberish.

Long article

I don't know if someone has answered this for you allready, but the problem may be that you are using an old browser which can't display more than 32KB in those frames. I believe that's why the message was added in the first place. Hope that helps. This link is Broken 04:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Welcome and Answer

First off, I noticed your question on the Wikipedia:Clueless newbies page, and I see that BrokenSegue has answered it already. I haven't had a problem with it- whenever I click edit and it's 32 kb or longer, I can still read (and edit!) throughout the whole article. My suggestion is to try it again and see if it works- if not, maybe try using a newer browser! (he he, I was stuck with an ancient computer for many years...)

Second off, I see that nobody has "officially" welcomed you to Wikipedia. So here it is:

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
How to edit a page
Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
Picture tutorial
How to write a great article
Naming conventions
Manual of Style
If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Image copyright problem with Image:Atari Flashback Hardware.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Atari Flashback Hardware.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}}.

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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -- Longhair 08:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Harlequin2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Harlequin2.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Can you please confirm (or not) if this image is under the GFDL, and provide its source? Thanks Platonides 08:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EBaum's World

The facts in the Ebaum's World article have already been restructured several times to reflect NPOV. Presenting them as facts rather than opinions does not make them more NPOV by Wikipedia standards, it simply misrepresents them. If you wish to make statements more accurate, you are welcome to do so, but reframing statements to make them softer does not increase NPOV. We have already had this debate previously in the article's discussion section. --Xombie 02:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Snes2 sys.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Snes2 sys.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 15:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Flashbackmain510.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Flashbackmain510.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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.

Image copyright problem with Image:Zapper.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Zapper.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. MER-C 05:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Yoshis story box.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Yoshis story box.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.

Image copyright problem with Image:Pfhor fighter.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Pfhor fighter.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
