[edit] Image Tagging Image:Wowsignal.gif
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Wowsignal.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check 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. Thank you.

- Please provide fair use rationale on the image description per the instructions on the tag {{fairusein}} --Admrboltz (T | C) 03:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Katie Holmes
Greetings! You have edited the Katie Holmes page in the past. I've completely reworked the article and have posted it on WP:PR in the hopes of advancing it to WP:FAC. I would be grateful for your comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Katie Holmes. PedanticallySpeaking 18:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stamford Advocate
Hi Thinkpad, I notice you've been changing "The Advocate" to "The Stamford Advocate" on the Stamford page. The Advocate is the formal title now, only informally is it referred to as "The Stamford.." I, and I guess the guy who's changing it back, think being more formal and exact about names is preferable for an encyclopedia. The paper itself and any Associated Press references to it, or other references in the press, will use the formal title too, although "Stamford" used to be in the title.Noroton 16:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] more
OK. I didn't realize it was you who changed it back. I need to read these things more carefully.Noroton 22:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
