[edit] Image:Caricaturemap corrected2.PNG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Caricaturemap corrected2.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

The image on Commons is now indistinguishable from the one you uploaded. —Gabbe 22:39, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:EAPC.PNG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:EAPC.PNG. 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. Sue Anne 01:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style tips

Hi. Just a few suggestions. One is that it is good to use an edit summary, it is helpful for others who see your changes. And two, per the math style manual one should make the variables italic, like a instead of a. Small things. :) Welcome! Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Color Key for Image:West.png

What do the different colors on Image:West.png stand for? Could you provide a key or caption on the image page itself? Thank you! Kim Bruning 13:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note

Please add any comments you may have on talk pages, and not in articles. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Alle spoorlijnen elektrificatie.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Alle spoorlijnen elektrificatie.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Re:Newton's generalized binomial theorem

I replied on my talk page. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Please use edit summaries to briefly describe your edits, not just to justify edits that you think people might disagree with. Indeed, if you really expect people to disagree with an edit, it might be better to discuss on the talk-page first. —Ruakh_TALK 21:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I didn't do that. Can you say where? Bombshell 12:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking through your past 100 contributions (via Special:Contributions/Bombshell), it seems that you've typed only 10 edit summaries; so, it seems that about 90% of the time, you're not doing that. (As for discussing on the talk-page — of the edits I've looked at, none seem so controversial as to warrant that. I just wanted to note that, at least in theory, edit summaries aren't intended as a forum for discussion, because the only way to reply to an edit summary is to revert the edit and include one's own edit-summary reply, and Wikipedia prefers to avoid revert wars. You can ignore that part of my comment if you already know that; you don't seem to have erred on that front, but I wanted to head that off in case you were heading in that direction.) —Ruakh_TALK 15:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I'm watching your talk-page (for the moment, anyway), so you don't need to double-post your replies; you can just post them here, and I'll see them. :-) —Ruakh_TALK 15:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, no problem

[edit] sock blocks

Govert Miereveld (talk • contribs), Scavenger (talk • contribs) and yourself are clearly the same user, as proved by your editing patterns. Please see our WP:SOCK policy which states that it is strictly forbidden to use more than one account on a single dispute in an attempt to create the impression of more support for your own position. I have indef-blocked the other two accounts. You are free to continue contributing with this one (or choose one of the two others and have this one blocked instead.)
