Copyrighted image in userbox

Resolved

I came up with a great idea for a userbox, and I want to use a particular image from an episode of the original Twilight Zone series. The problem is it's a copyrighted, fair use image. If I use it it'll just get yanked, but I have to have it! What do I do? Stagyar Zil Doggo 03:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stagyar Zil Doggo (talk • contribs)

Sorry but you've already said it. It's not a "fair use image," it's a copyrighted image that would not be fair use for the purpose you would put it. I can only suggest that you go the the Commons and dig for an image that works, even if not as well.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

pffffffffffft... How could an emoticon possibly compare to a panic-stricken Burgess Meredith? Stagyar Zil Doggo 03:30, 16 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stagyar Zil Doggo (talk • contribs)

Speaking of panic-stricken, that's how a person often becomes by approaching Wikipedia with an arbitrary, inflexible goal. The only way to stay sane on Wikipedia is to have a plan B, C, D, ..., and Z ready for when plan A melts like a snowball. A very important thing to grasp here is that Wikipedia is a free content project, and thus we must un-learn some of our cultural programming from the corporate entertainment industry. By the time a child reaches adulthood in a country like the US, he or she has absorbed thousands of hours of copyrighted entertainment. On Wikipedia we cannot simply regurgitate all of that monetized pop culture, because it does not belong to us. Instead we are trying to create something here which no one can prevent anyone else from using freely. Consider the violence that has been done to you by the entertainment industry masters of persuasion. They have filled your head with memes which you now feel urges to propagate, but they stop you from doing that by asserting intellectual property rights over the stuff they put into your brain. You can fight back by consciously rejecting your corporatized brainwashing, and instead studying free content repositories such as Creative Commons, to find new memes you can develop urges to propagate, which you can then legally satisfy. --Teratornis (talk) 03:47, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks though, Fuhghettaboutit. Hadn't been aware of the Commons, really. That's gonna be a big help. Found some images right away. Stagyar Zil Doggo 04:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stagyar Zil Doggo (talk • contribs)

Uh... Anybody tell me why my edits are all "unsigned?" Stagyar Zil Doggo 04:32, 16 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stagyar Zil Doggo (talk • contribs)

• Because your signature does not contain a link to your user page or user talk page. Without that, sinebot will not recognize your signature. See WP:SIG; at minimum all signatures must contain a wikilink to either your userpage or user talk page. --Jayron32 04:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh. Okay. Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stagyar Zil Doggo (talk • contribs) 04:53, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Note that the word "unsigned" is a link to a page that answers the question of how to sign your posts. Most canned messages on Wikipedia try to be self-explanatory by containing links to pages that explain what they're about. --Teratornis (talk) 07:59, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

How to join WikiProjects?

Resolved

 –  – ukexpat (talk) 17:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I found some WikiProjects that I would like to participate in, but I don't know how to join one, and this information wasn't on the pages about WikiProjects or the project pages. How do I join a WikiProject? NotAnonymous0 did I err?|Contribs 05:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

There's no formal requirements or procedures to "join" a Wikiproject. Many (but not all) maintain optional membership lists for the purpose of finding other like-minded editors, so joining entails merely adding your name to such lists. Otherwise, feel free to dive in to the various to-do lists, or try contacting some of the active members of the Project asking for places to help out! --Jayron32 05:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! NotAnonymous0 did I err?|Contribs 05:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

WP:PROJGUIDE might provide some useful information, although it is aimed more at people who want to organize WikiProjects. But you could compare a particular WikiProject to the guidance in that manual page, and get an idea of how the WikiProject members are running it. Some WikiProjects are much more developed than others. --Teratornis (talk) 07:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Adding links to specific revisions in edit summary.

Resolved

 –  – ukexpat (talk) 17:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes I find myself including reversion numbers in edit summaries to clarify reverting old vandalism that had only been partially fixed (ie. here). Is it possible to make the revision numbers in the edit summary clickable so they link to that particular revision? For example it would be nice to be able to make the reversion numbers look like 322073452 (or even better 322073452). I don't think external links work in edit summaries, but I could swear I saw an edit summary a long long time ago that did something like that. It's entirely possible my memory is just failing me. If it isn't possible, is there a better way for me to write the edit summary? (ie. link to a section in the talk page where I can make these things work) Thanks. Winston365 (talk) 07:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Help:Edit summary#Properties has an entry about URLs, but it makes no sense to me. Wikilinks work for sure, but I don't think it is possible to wikilink to a revision. There is a magic word ({{fullurl:page name}}, {{fullurl:page name|query_string}} (absolute path to the title)), but that won't work in an edit summary. You could write a user subpage with any notes you want, including links to revisions, and link to sections on that page from an edit summary elsewhere. Then as long as your user subpage preserved the link destination, you'd have the effect you want. Although that would be an extra layer of stuff to fiddle with and possibly break. Incidentally, it seems you aren't linking to a particular revision, but to a particular diff. --Teratornis (talk) 07:51, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Complete diff and link guide isn't quite complete enough to mention linking to diffs from edit summaries. I'm about 99.99% sure it can't be done. But I've found myself in the 0.01% before when contemplating the seemingly impossible on Wikipedia. Never say never until you've heard from everyone who might know a trick. --Teratornis (talk) 07:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, in the examples I gave I did link to the diff. I originally used a link to the revision, but then realized linking to the diff would probably be more useful and changed the links, but didn't actually change the wording of the question. As neither work in edit summaries I hadn't worried about it, either would be better than nothing. My looking through various help pages was no more successful than yours, but that nagging, fuzzy memory made me want to ask. I suspect you are right. Thanks for the help! Winston365 (talk) 08:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes the talk page of the relevant help page (e.g. Help talk:Edit summary) is a good place to ask a technical question about a particular feature. Some users with particular knowledge of that feature might be watching the help page, and not the Help desk. --Teratornis (talk) 17:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiCommons permissions

Hello everyone, I've got a question that hasn't been appropriately answered when posted on the new contributors' help page, and so I was wondering if this is the right place to get help. The question is - when talking about mails, what are POP3, IMAP and HTTP? And where can I find them on my PC? I'm asking these questions because I want to upload a few permissons for the photos that I hae uploaded onto WikiCommons. Please answer this urgent question because I'd like to save the deleted images. Thanks Sp33dyphil ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 09:31, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Your question was answered here: Wikipedia:New contributors' help page#WikiCommons permissions - just linking that so that others can see. Did you try asking at the commons helpdesk? I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you, hopefully someone else will, but otherwise I would ask at Commons, or try the computing reference desk here.--BelovedFreak 10:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I did ask the new contributors help page on Commons. Sp33dyphil ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 03:34, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

You asked here and someone has answered. The problem is, when they asked you what you were doing, you just gave them a link to your userpage. I bet what you are doing is clicking on the link in all the deletion warning notices that invites you to email in your permission, and you do not have a properly set up mail client on your computer (you use hotmail? you use Windows? It's trying to configure Outlook Express to send your emails). Here's how to do it the easy way. Open whatever program you normally use to send and receive email. Open a new mail message. Type permissions-commons@wikimedia.org in the Mail To: box. Type or paste the name of the image into the Subject: line. In the body of the text, add whatever it is that you have that makes you believe you can free license the image. Send. I'll paste this over on Commons, in case you don't see it here.

Honey

Hello. I am a Beekeeper and researcher. I would like to start and write articles on Honey production in different countries. How would I go about naming the article? would it be something like Honey production in Hungary? or Honey manufacture in Canada?

Many thanks. --UpGradeUpStage (talk) 10:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

It might be better to start with Honey production or Honey production by country or List of honey producing countries, and only split out to individual country articles if the article becomes too large. Also bear in mind that the article should not be a just list of adverts for commercial honey producers. Astronaut (talk) 10:22, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Another thing to bear in mind is to make sure that you have lots of references to reliable sources. It's very easy at first to write articles based on your own knowledge and forget about making them verifiable. This is especially true if you are an expert or professional in the field. Make sure everything is verifiable and that readers can look up the information for themselves if they want to. On the other hand, I'm sure as a researcher you have tons of reliable sources you can use. Just remember that once you've written something, anyone can come along and change it, so the best way of having the bit that you wrote stay, is having it backed up by reliable sources. Have a look at Wikipedia:Your first article too, which has some tips. As for the mame, User:Astronaut makes some good points. Have a look at the main Honey article (I'm sure you have!) and see which bits could be expanded enough into their own article. It looks like there are some concerns in the Honey producing countries section, so it might be worth seeing if there's anything relevant on the article talkpage at Talk:Honey. There seem to be similar articles for other products, like Rice production in Thailand and Coffee production in Costa Rica, so those seem to be the naming conventions used.--BelovedFreak 10:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

How to add a up and coming actor?

How do I add a new actor to wikipedia? Is this something I can do or suggest? If I can do it pls show me how to do it?

Kebire —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kebirehasanova (talk • contribs) 10:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Have you read WP:UPANDCOMING? --Orange Mike | Talk 14:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

If the actor is "up and coming" then they are probably not yet notable enough for inclusion. See our basic notability criteria for people and particularly the section about entertainers. Astronaut (talk) 10:18, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. First, I would ask: how do you know this actor is up and coming? If the answer is, because you have seen them in a new film, or have read about them in a newspaper, that's fine. If it's because you know the actor, or you are the actor, then I would strongly suggest waiting until someone else writes about them. Writing about someone you have a close connection to is considered a conflict of interest and it is very hard to write a fair, neutral article if that's the case.

If you don't have any conflict of interest, then have a look at Wikipedia:Starting an article and Wikipedia:Your first article. You might like to try the Article wizard for extra help. Please make sure that there isn't already an article about the person. Please also make sure that you have references to reliable sources. For example, newspaper articles, books or magazine articles. If you don't feel confident enough to do it yourself, you could ask somebody else to do it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. This is also an option if you think that you might have a conflict of interest but you still think that there should be an article on the person.

Lots of new articles get deleted because they don't comply with our policies and guidelines, so you should also read Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. It might also help to edit a few articles first to get used to how Wikipedia works. If you have any more questions, feel free to come back here to ask.--BelovedFreak 10:22, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Template not transcluded correctly

Resolved

Can someone take a look at the APIIC Tower article. I removed the status parameter from the {{Infobox Skyscraper}}, which is supposed to make "Status: Under construction" appear in purple in the infobox (the infobox calculates the correct status based on other parameters). It works correctly in other skyscraper articles and even if I view the diff for my edit, but when just the article is viewed I see the template hasn't been transcluded correctly, like this. Is this just something to do with my PC/browser today, or have I really broken something? Thanks. Astronaut (talk) 10:13, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Check the end of that big list of conditionals; you need to also remove one pair of closing curly brackets, as you've removed the matching #ifeq clause. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:30, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) It works for me. Your edit [1] to {{Infobox skyscraper}} was invalid because it added {{#ifeq: without an ending }} (which would have to come several lines later in this case). Your image has no time but I guess that either it was made before you reverted your template edit, or else the article had not been purged to ensure that it used the most recent version of the template. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:32, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I've now overhauled that code to make it more straightforward. What was the effect you were looking for again? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:37, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I thought it was something to do with my attempted edit to {{Infobox skyscraper}}, but I simply reverted that change when it appeared not to work. Trouble was the problem with the APIIC Tower article didn't go away, even after repeatedly pressing Ctrl+F5 which I thought did the same thing as purge by forcing my browser to re-request all the page elements and bypassing the cache. The screenshot was taken after I reverted the template change and after I finally saved the APIIC article only find the problem persisted even after Ctrl+F5. I'm curious though, if the faulty infobox was stored, how it didn't affect other skyscraper articles or the diff view. Anyhow, the template is now fixed again with simpler markup. Thank you all. Astronaut (talk) 12:17, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Diff views are generally generated when the diff link is clicked and templates are transcluded as they are at that moment. Article pages are cached by our software for performance reasons and not rebuilt each time a user watches the article. A template edit adds all pages using the template to a job queue with pages that has to be rebuilt but it takes a varying amount of time (sometimes days) to rebuild them due to limits in Wikimedia server capacity. A page is always rebuilt when it is edited and you edited the article while the template code was invalid. It's possible some other skyscraper articles were affected if they were rebuilt at a bad time between your edits to the template. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:28, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Personalising a Table of Contents

Apologies in advance if this isn't the most appropriate place to ask this question, but looking through the "Are you in the right place" table, I don't see anywhere else that's immeadiately obvious. I was wondering if there's a way to edit and customise tables of contents - specifically the colour and frame colours (and I suppose font and all the other things that can be edited in other fields). A look at the top of my talk page will probably demonstrate what I'd like to achieve. I haven't been able to find any guidance on the usual WP: pages, and as the TOC isn't a standard field, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust details like the colour. Cheers in advance, Ranger Steve (talk) 13:22, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Assuming you want to do this for your userpage (such a nonstandard TOC wouldn't work in the article space), then Wikipedia:User page design center may be helpful to you. --Jayron32 13:58, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

You can do some styling by wrapping the magic word __TOC__ in a div, but I don't think you can override the default style for color. You can certainly use this on your talk page, but please don't do it in an article. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 14:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, purely for the talk page. Thanks for the link Jayron, I'll check that out. Gadget, when you say div, do you mean {{ or < formatting? Any examples would be much appreciated. Cheers, Ranger Steve (talk) 14:10, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Adequate Cite for proposed edit and addition to entry

I have information/facts with which to edit and add to an entry. Several weeks ago I attempted to execute the edit or addition, but it was removed by Wikipedia because of form - which I can work around - and because of sourcing issues. I believe I have solved the sourcing issues, but before trying again, I thought I might run it by the Help Desk. The entry I want to edit and add to is the one on the late cellist and musical historian Dimitri Markevitch. The source for the information is a collection of correspondence between Mr. Markevitch and myself. Naturally, I have the correspondence, which took place by email. But the collection of correspondence is also maintained by the Library at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. If I make my small edits and modest additions to the entry on Mr. Markevitch, and cite to the collection of correspondence at UNC Greensboro Library, would that be acceptable to Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terpguy42 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Provided that the source is verifiable, meaning someone could go to the library, access the materials and review them, then yes, that would be OK as a primary source. It would be even better to cite a secondary source that discusses the materials. – ukexpat (talk) 17:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have edited the page for 'Mountain Air' which currently redirects to 'Fly My Sky'. These are now seperate companies. I fly for Mountain Air and have updated the information and need to change the page heading, but don't know how to do this. Can you do it for me? It should read "Mountain Air". thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.179.89.130 (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Mountain Air (New Zealand) currently redirects to Fly My Sky. You edited [2] the article Fly My Sky which should be about Fly My Sky so I have reverted your edit. If you want to make an article about Mountain Air (New Zealand) instead of the current redirect then you can click the link at the top saying "Redirected from Mountain Air (New Zealand)" before clicking "edit this page". But since you work for Mountain Air, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Can't determine if a movie poster image is {non-freepromotional} or some other form of creative commons

HI,

I wrote an article on a documentary and I'd like to update the article with the movie poster image (as I see on so many wikipedia pages). Would love to know what method I should use to upload the file and how I should add it to the article. This is for Engligh Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kgarcia99 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

In a normal case, you should upload it on Wikipedia not the commons if it's a non-free image. So you can do that at Special:Upload. Kayau Voting IS evil 02:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
