Welcome

Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need help, you can check Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme|your question here}} on this page, and someone will reply to your question here.

I saw that you added the WikiProject Schools userbox and your signature to Dakota Hills Middle School. Userboxes should be used only on user pages and signatures should be used only on talk or discussion pages. Once you've been here for a while, you'll get a better feel for how things are done, but from what I can see, you are off to a great start.

Oh, and if you'd like to read our style guide, it's over at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. WODUP 03:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

OK then,

I have updated the image to relfect the source, in the process adding the needed liscence information and removing the iminent deletion warning tags. You may place this image back in the article if you so wish to; be aware that if it is not in an article though it will be deleted as an orphaned image since it claimed under fair use.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. It seems that this guy has stopped. Also, the comments were made several months ago so its probably someone else. Nevertheless, if it continues, you can warn him using these templates. --Hdt83 ^Chat 00:58, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Supertux.png. 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Image:Supertux.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Supertux.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Copied from here

What's wrong with the rational for this picture? It keeps rejecting it, so I went all the way and copied the use agreement from the game, and it still doesn't like it!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Penguin boy93 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

If this is a screenshot of GFDL software, and has no non-GFDL elements, shouldn't it use a GFDL image licensing tag? Gimmetrow 22:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

GFDL is Gnu Free Documentation License. But my mistake, I guess it's actually GPL - Gnu Public License.

Anyway, the image is tagged with a "non-free" licensing tag. If the non-free tag is correct, then the image page needs to have a fair use rationale and specifically list each page where it's used. If the tag is incorrect, and the image is under GFDL or GPL or something equivalent, then it needs to use a "free" tag to avoid these problems. I don't really know for sure that a screenshot of open source software is necessarily free, since a screenshot involves some things beyond the software alone (such as the window rendering engine, which is part of the operating system and may not be licensed free). But that's the solution as far as I can tell - either change the tag to something "free", or provide a "fair use rationale" including page links. Gimmetrow 23:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

If the screenshot really has no non-free issues, the appropriate licensing is probably {{GPL screenshot}}. I've switched the licensing assuming that you're right, and tidied the page. Gimmetrow 01:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

However, I would add that I'm not sure this is really correct if the screenshot is taken on a non-free OS. If the game uses any library in the OS to do any rendering, the image in the screenshot partly depends on that library, and so the licensing would seem to partly depend on that library too. If you did take the screenshot on a free-license OS, you might want to say that somewhere too. Gimmetrow 01:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 03:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:B1 img196 13194.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:B1 img196 13194.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ttonyb (talk) 04:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:01, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Where the Dinar is used.jpg

The file File:Where the Dinar is used.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
