[edit] License tagging for Image:Princeofwalessink.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Princeofwalessink.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

- I'm sorry, but I've had to remove the image from George VI of the United Kingdom again. I do agree that it's a much better picture, but unfortunately the copyright is still in force outside Canada, see for example WP:PD#Canadian_images:_Yousuf_Karsh. DrKiernan 14:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Academy Awards
I see you readded the section "Record Holders" that I deleted. Lets not start an edit war, I noted in my deletion that one should see the talk page. If you disagree with the sections deletion then please join the discussion on the talk page andd give your reasons. Russeasby 12:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see you readded it again and have not yet contributed to the talk page discussing this subject. If you want to have this section in then please contribute to the academy awards talk page and explain to those that disagree with you why you think it should be added. I see you left something on my talk page, but offered no reason in your note as to why this section should be included. Please respect the way wikipedia works and join the discussion. As for your claim that you "previously sought permission from wikipedia to edit this section and they agreed" that makes no sense at all? Wikipedia is a community effort, if you happened to speak to one individual who said your information belongs here, then invite them to join the discussion on the talk page as well. As of now no one has shown support for your "record holders" section which contains redundant information. Russeasby 15:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Academy Awards article and good WP practices
Relative to the record holder content disagreement, Duncanbruce, you didn't offend anyone. But it is a good idea to open a topic up for discussion when it appears there are very different opinions on it. If something you contributed gets reverted, rather than flipping it back, take a deep breath and head for the Talk page. In this case, I would have gotten the source for the quote before responding — it strengthens your position, although you still may not gain a consensus on the material.
Also, I see that you have been having some problems with uploading images and tagging them properly. Here are a few good links for you to look at before making more contributions. This will make contributing much easier for you.
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Be sure to check out the image tagging links other users left for you above.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
