Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

[edit]
Hello Nancysing! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some recommended guidelines to facilitate your involvement. Happy editing! -- Durin 14:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use / free license images

[edit]

Nancysing, first off in addition to the above a very hearty welcome!! Fair use images here at Wikipedia are usually tagged with a tag that creates a bold red copyright symbol. Image:Ayame chan.jpg and Image:XIII Order 06 Zexion.png both have such symbols on them. All of the non-free copyright tags are located at Category:Non-free image copyright tags. Free license images are tagged with tags like {{GFDL}}. These can usually be found at Category:Image copyright tags. Per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, you can have free licensed material on your userpage, but not fair use tagged material. If you're uncertain about a particular image's status, feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to help. --Durin 14:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Shiori(InuYasha).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Shiori(InuYasha).jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Well, Mr. Bot, you can just blame the Wikipedia help pages- it said I could put a template OR a rationale! That misleading page is what mad it all go wrong. Nancysing 01:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Shiori(InuYasha).jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Shiori(InuYasha).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. BJBot (talk) 12:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

[edit]

Hi Nancy!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
