[edit] Snow globe

Good work on Snow globe. It's a bit more conversational than I'm comfortable with, but I suspect it's within Wikipedia's somewhat relaxed encyclopedia guidelines, and your material has finally made this a useful article. One thing I would ask: could you add some references in a References (or External links) section? You make a lot of statements that should be verifiable by sources so as not to run afoul of WP's "no original research" policy. Since you seem to know the subject quite well, I bet you can call up a few sources to help out. Thanks! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I did not make the artcle, but merged it from another that was under "snowglobes" --Nalos6 23:01, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I hadn't noticed your merger from Snow globes. I'll have to repeat my request to the anonymous user who wrote it. One suggestion: it's good practice (and a supposed requirement, I believe) to add a note about the contributing editor(s) for material merged into a new article. When there's just one author, you can simply give their name (or IP address, for anons) in the edit summary for your merger. If the article has a significant history, standard practice is to add a section to the talk page of the destination article, like the one I just added to Talk:Snow globe, that lists the edit history of the article up to the merger. That provides two important things:

1. Someone researching the provenance of information in an article can easily spot outside influences.
2. Per GFDL requirements, contributing authors get credit for their material.

[edit] "User freespeech" template

Helloo.. Saw your free speech thing and thought you might be interested in this template (which is also linked from the WikiProject talk page: {{User:Feureau/UserBox/freespeech}}

A link so you can preview it: {{User:Feureau/UserBox/freespeech}}

Hope you like, it's pretty much the same but will also automatically add you to the Wikipedians against censorship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 17:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:CiroMarchImage.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CiroMarchImage.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 03:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:DSC00567.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DSC00567.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, 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. -- Longhair 04:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
