[edit] I'm Sorry
I Am very sorry about the Michael 'Mikey' Perry and michael Osmond Perry article incident. I did not know that there was a criteria for aricles on people, places and things (nouns). Well I guess i'll stick to trying to help expand articles which meet the criteria. S, May i get a copy of the Michael Osmond Perry article so that I may paste it into my user article? Thank you for your help. Why did some one send me a message saying that I am a fool and I tagged my own article for Speedy Deletion? I mean, I was not aware of it? I just copied and pasted one of my previous articles into it. If this is the way Wikipedia deals with mistakes, there is a need for a discovery of new interactive methods.

- To get a copy of the article, contact an administrator. This should help. The person who called you a fool was not being very polite... when you copied your article, you also copied the code placed to have it deleted, thus saving other editors the trouble of tagging it for deletion. We're glad to have you around, and lots of people make a few missteps while they're learning their way around, then stay to make Wikipedia wonderful. -FisherQueen 12:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding Unopened messages
Is There a way that unopened (last chance) messages may also be retrieved? Like in a history of some sort?
- I'm not positive that I understand the question... if you mean messages on an article's talk page that has been deleted, administrators have access to deleted material. -FisherQueen 22:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's my Role?.....Exactly
Hey, what exactly is the role I should play here @ Wiki? I guess the Headline is sel-explanitary.
- That's entirely up to you... there are lots of different ways to get involved at Wikipedia, both in creating and editing articles, and in all the maintenance tasks. I started at the Community Portal, which has a section that lists lots of tasks that need working on, and discovered that I enjoyed patrolling recent changes and wikifying pages. If you check out the Community Portal, it'll give you a taste of some of the different jobs Wikipedia editors do, and you can see which ones appeal to you. I don't know everything- I learn as I go- but I'm happy to answer what questions I can. Have fun! -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] It's Me Again.....Yea
Hey, about the Michael Osmond Perry article. My friends and "management" are trying to get a recording contract with a big company by the end of the year. When I become famous, may I be the one to do the article on myself? I hope it's not considered as vandalism if I entered my birth into the birth section of the article for the date April 9 because I did.
- No, Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself or your company because it is a Conflict of interest which makes it very difficult to write a neutral article. When you're famous and well-known, someone else will create an article about you. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Yea Thanks!!!!!!!!
[edit] RE: Do I Know You?
In response to your post on my talk page, I have never taught at Antigua Grammar School, nor have I ever been to Antigua, or Montreal, but wouldn't mind visiting either. By the way, please sign your comment next time. Thank you. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 20:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:MariahShades.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MariahShades.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} 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 {{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 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Spangineerws (háblame) 19:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding. On Wikipedia, only administrators can delete pages and images, so that's why you couldn't figure out how to do it. However, I've taken care of it. If you're successful in getting an image that meets Wikipedia's requirements for addition (basically, that it is licensed in such a way that anyone can use it for any purpose, so long as the author is credited), please upload it. If you have any other questions related to images or anything else on Wikipedia, don't hesitate to ask. Have a great day! --Spangineerws (háblame) 20:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Appropriate image licensing
Unfortunately, it's usually not as easy as finding a site online that says "you can use this picture on your website". Wikipedia's goal is to create an encyclopedia that can be converted into any format and used for anything—not just for personal use, and not just online. Thus, to be eligible, all content must be licensed by the creator with a license like the CC-BY-SA (see [1] for the basics). If it just says "you can use this", that's not good enough. It gets rather complicated, so the easiest thing is to take your own pictures, and license them with that license, and then upload them to Wikipedia. --Spangineerws (háblame) 00:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
