Edit summaries
[edit]When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Onehundredhours band.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Onehundredhours band.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:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC) |
European Business School
[edit]Thank you for the revert.84.168.91.144 23:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I reverted the last edit made by the vandal who also appears as 217.237.151.235 and 217.237.151.234. If he shows up again, I will try to get him blocked and would highly appreciate your support in this matter, since he not only keeps reverting accepted facts, but also inserts arbitrary details to discredit others. Apart from this particular incident, he is also responsible for a variety of questionable edits in articles on the German educational system. I realize that the page currently contains too much advertising. However, he is not interested in any type of discussion and prefers to simply revert. I will happily remove excessive promotional language (which I never put in there) once I got this vandal off my back for good. His destructive attitide is my major motivation for requesting a block. Can you suggest next steps? Thank you in advance.84.168.120.192 21:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you! The page is now blocked for IP edits. Although this means I can no longer make anonymous changes myself, it is definitely worth it.84.168.120.192 22:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Using substitution for templates
[edit]When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Vic226 23:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

wikiality
[edit]somebody mentioned that wikiality is not neologism, by wikipedias definition, it is. It is a new idea that applies to a phenomena (wikiality is a phenomena, it is a craze almost like that of the "get er done" craze. There is wikiality merchandise and a wikiality home page.
It is not nonsense. The article is on a phenomena, an idea. A popular word that people will recognize in a conversation. Some may take it offensive, but the article does stay as neutral as possible. Pw3d is not a real word. There is an article on it and many words like it. Wikiality is one of thoes articles. Some may take it to be an atack on wikipedia. It is not. The article clearly states that this is just a concept. Try to be mature and like a true wiki editer, neutral. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Allatropical (talk • contribs) 00:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
Thank you
[edit]I thank you for your comments. I was too angry, and I over-reacted. (Shame on me...) Thank you again for your reasoned reaction. I wish you well. andreasegde 15:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Englishnerd, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:The Key.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Englishnerd/Sandbox. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 23:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

School
[edit]Well done. You (and others) have an article in the top 250 schools on wikipedia. However The infobox is not done using a standard box and you references do not use the ref tag However if someone corrects this then the article could go into the top 100 or so and ve a "good article". Need help? then ask at the schools project or Victuallers 13:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Article Masculine
[edit]Englishnerd, so far your complaint that it should be kept in until it is agreed that it can be kept out is rediculus. There is no rule saying it has to be kept in when it should be removed, and at present continued inclusion of this section is breaking wiki rules. Please also note that at present there is no discussion as none of the reverters have attempted any dialogue on the talk page on this section. 216.201.33.27 21:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Marianne_Curley.jpg
[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Marianne_Curley.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cardiphonia.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Cardiphonia.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. NotifyBot (talk) 12:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
[edit]Hi Englishnerd,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
