Signing your talk page edits

Hi. A lazy way of signing your talk page edits is to type --~~~~ at the end. That's two dashes, followed by four tildes. The software time stamps it and adds your username. All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Thanks, I´m new to all this

Miles v km

Hi Craigzomack Welcome

I noticed that you changed miles to k on Christchurch. Metric may be our official system, but then again roads are signed in miles, so it is better to use both. There is a template that does the conversion for you but it can be a bit over precise for rough distances. Either can be put 1st for the UK, but the convention is to leave it as is.

Happy editing.--Charles (talk) 14:09, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and it is spelt metre in British English.--Charles (talk) 14:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

Could you please explain what you were trying to do with your recent edits to Wikipedia:Peer review and Wikipedia talk:Peer review? Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 19:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ruhrfisch, I Was Trying To Get Creative Feedback For The Deutsche Mark Page, I`m Not Really Sure How To Do It. It Says Put Something on the talk page On A Talk Page, I Can`t Find It Craigzomack 21:28, 20 February 2010 (CET)

OK, thanks - just adding the PR template to the Talk:Deutsche Mark page gets it listed at WP:PR (the PR request is at Wikipedia:Peer review/Deutsche Mark/archive1). A bot does the listing and it takes up to an hour to list it there (as the bot only runs once an hour). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:HorstSeehofer,Groformat,JPG.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:HorstSeehofer,Groformat,JPG.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 23:24, 22 April 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:24, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:HorstSeehofer,Groformat,JPG.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:HorstSeehofer,Groformat,JPG.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Social Democratic Party of Germany, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third Way (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:10 DM Münze.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:10 DM Münze.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Rrburke (talk) 14:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:54, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
