Welcome!

Hello, Urlgrl, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.

Hello Urlgrl,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Spencer Stephens, may be copied from http://www.connectedtvsummit.com/conference/speakers/46-speakers/198-spencer-stephen-cto-sony-pictures-entertainment.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 00:20, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

November 2012

[edit]

When adding links to material on external sites, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Tonywalton Talk 01:43, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Samantha Shaw

[edit]

Wikipedia TV articles use the name by which a character is most commonly known; Shaw was introduced as, and is commonly known as Samantha Shaw. We know her real name is Sameen, and that can be noted in the description of the character, but we don't know that Shaw is her real last name, or an early alias she took on. This is consistent with Reese and Finch, neither of whom is known by his real name, but rather identified by the name most commonly used. Please refrain from edit warring, and avoid false claims regarding what the show wants. Even if what you said is true, and I doubt it is given your spelling and grammar, we don't list characters based on what a show requests but rather what is most appropriate for the article and based on what we can source. CBS uses the name Samantha Shaw on all the show's press releases and on its websites for the show. That is a definitive source as to her correct name. If you disagree, open a discussion on the article's talk page. If you continue to attempt to force the edit, you may find yourself blocked. --Drmargi (talk) 20:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Drmargi - I was asked by the show itself to edit the wikipedia page. Sorry to bother you. I work for Warner Bros., who owns the rights to the show and they continue to ask for the change. -urlgrl (talk) 15:38, 07 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page CHiPs, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

License tagging for File:Brunoheller2014.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Brunoheller2014.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Brunoheller2014.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Bruno Heller.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Bruno Heller.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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. January (talk) 08:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
