Welcome to Wiki!

[edit]

Hello Mattwhiteski, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule

Thanks for uploading Image:Beogradwintertiger.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 08:35, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question about disambiguation pages

[edit]

You asked the following on Talk:Illyria (disambiguation):

I'm new to Wikipedia, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I noticed that when you type 'Illyria' or 'Illyrian' into the search box and click 'go', it takes you straight to the article about the ancient region in the south of Europe. When you type 'Illyrians', it takes you to the page about the inhabitants of that region. Surely it would be better if it went to the disambiguation page first? Is there any way of doing this? Mattwhiteski 16:19, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The article at Illyria could be moved to something like Illyria (region), and so forth for any similar situation, but when a particular use of a term is so overwhelmingly more common than others that most links and most readers would go to it, then it is kept and the primary place, and the disambiguation page is put aside. The same is true for New England and New England (disambiguation), ion and ion (disambiguation), and so forth. - Centrx 03:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Presevo Valley Map.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Presevo Valley Map.png. 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.

File permission problem with File:VojislavSeseljPoster1.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:VojislavSeseljPoster1.jpg, which you've attributed to "a friend". 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:44, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
