 * Not sure what a "link beater" is - you probably meant "better"? That's not the point, or relevant. External links are added to articles if, and only if, they add something essential or unique that the article could never reasonably be expected to cover. Anyway, answering what I think you meant - New7Wonders has been judged WP:NOTABLE enough to have its own article. That's completely different to spamming an external link into every article you can find with "Wonders" in the name... If you keep doing that, all you are likely to achieve is that your site will be added to the WP:BLACKLIST so that no users(s) may add it anywhere. You can see our policy on external links here - WP:ELNO. Thanks. Begoon &thinsp; talk  00:41, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Logitech page
Begoon,

Thanks for your note and guidance. I am new to editing Wikipedia and my goal is simply to update the Logitech page with factual, verifiable information. I would very much appreciate guidance along the way. Here are some initial questions and comments that I have:


 * Logitech has a new company logo and I would like to replace the logo on the page
 * Logitech's Silicon Valley offices moved from Fremont Calif to Newark Calif. I would like to replace the image of the Fremont building with the Newark building
 * With regard to headquarters, we don't have an office global headquarters. We have an Americas headquarters in Newark, Calif and an EMEA headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. I will try to find a way to be more clear here. It is published this way on our website.

I have a question about the Products section of the Logitech page. What if Logitech no longer sells that product. Can I indicate that?

Thanks,

Nancy — Preceding unsigned comment added by NancyMorrisonLogitech (talk • contribs) 21:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Nancy - thanks for responding.
 * Quite simply, if you work for the company, rather than editing the article yourself, best practice would be for you to propose edits on Talk:Logitech. If there are good, reliable sources for the edits, there should be no problem. Uncontentious edits, such as location, and headquarters, and what products you sell can easily be sourced to the company's website as a WP:PRIMARY source. If there's any reasonable possibility a fact could be disputed, then a third party source would be needed - see WP:RS.
 * With regards to images - we would use the logo on the company's website, generally, according to WP:FAIR USE - but if you wished to provide us with freely licensed graphics, that would be cool. Vector graphics such as svg images would be great for logos. You could read Donating copyrighted materials for how to go about that. Companies don't always want to freely license stuff that way, though, understandably, so we also use a limited number of non-free images according to our non-free content rules, which you can find at WP:NFCC.
 * All articles on wikipedia are open to editing by anyone - and people with a WP:COI will often find themselves under greater scrutiny, which can lead to friction. It's great when organisations want to co-operate, but we are also, obviously, aware that companies will wish to portray themselves positively, and we are here to present neutral information. That's a tricky balance, and we don't always get it right.
 * My best recommendation is the kind of openness you've showed here, and some understanding from you that not everyone will be keen to take the contributions of a vested interest at face value.
 * Bet you're so glad you asked, now - sorry for the long answer to what probably seemed like a simple, quick, question. ... . Begoon &thinsp; talk  21:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Top-notch answer. I would only add, that wikipedia as an encyclopedia will probably retain the old logo, and the old building, as part of the History Of Logitech section -- but the newer stuff belongs, too.  I'll ping Nancy on her talkpage, and see if she can use any help.  Also, helps to mention WP:TEAHOUSE as a place where beginners can get quick answers.  You seem to have the early-stage symptoms of my disease, Begoon... the dreaded incurable WP:WALLOFTEXT.  Has been known to be fatal, watch out!  :-)  Thanks for improving wikipedia.  74.192.84.101 (talk) 03:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

How to add copyright material.
Hi, i want to add some copyright materials from my school site- www.nrsjps.com. The website is mine. How can i do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prathamprakash29 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * First of all - if the website is "yours" - you would need to show that it is yours, and that the content there is original, and created by you. To do that, you would need to follow the instructions at Donating copyrighted materials (that's a link).
 * However, that isn't the whole problem. Your site would probably not be considered a reliable source - read WP:RS if it is just yours and not owned by the school.
 * Lastly - even if you can get over those 2 hurdles, if the content you want to add is WP:UNDUE or WP:PROMO (promotional) in tone, it probably still won't be acceptable for those reasons...
 * Now - that's a lot of blue links I've given you, and I'm sorry for that, and I'm sorry it's complicated - but I can't read and understand them for you - only you can stop and do that. Go read them, all of them, try to understand them, and if you still have questions, please ask them.
 * I know it seems a lot to grasp for a new user, but we were all new once, and we all had to do it. The rules are necessary so that we can maintain the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. Help is always available, though, if you don't understand - you just need to ask, like you did here.
 * Thanks for taking the time to try and understand it all. . Begoon &thinsp; talk  14:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello, Begoon and Pratham -- my name is 74, and I'd be happy to walk Pratham through the minefield of our five bazillion policies. Pratham, can you please reply on my talkpage?  I would like to help you get the NRSJPS wikipedia page improved.  Thanks for improving wikipedia.  74.192.84.101 (talk) 03:02, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * That's cool - and very kind. I hope Pratham responds to the kind offer. I think it seems important as part of that to establish what "The website is mine." actually means. Obviously this pertains to its suitability (or not) as a WP:RS. I'm thinking maybe Pratham has created it as part of a project, maybe with the school's blessing - but that isn't clear. As I mentioned above, it certainly looks as though it may not be the "official" site - but if it is endorsed, then we probably need to clarify that. We describe it in the article as "official", and without it, there would be pretty much no refs or any linkage. Begoon &thinsp; talk  03:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the school is a recent startup, and it's not clear how Pratham is involved, and who needs to give permission... or if we should just do an article rewrite, and take new photos. The licensing thing is pretty serious, too, because wikipedia cannot afford to have copyvio in mainspace, or in userspace, or even linked from those places.  That was Yngvadottir's main concern, but Pratham was in too much of a hurry.  Slow down, Pratham!  Wait for us to catch up!  :-)      &mdash; 74.192.84.101 (talk) 20:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

thanks man, people like you are what the wiki should be
Saw the Al refining cartoon looking a little crisper and checked the file history and saw you had made it better. Way to be! 38.107.128.2 (talk) 01:33, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Heh - see, I do what I can, where I think it will be worthwhile. When people take the time to appreciate it like this, and in their other helpful contributions elsewhere, it makes a difference, trust me. Now all you have to do is spot the other 3 images on the Fl page I tweaked the same day... . Kind of a wiki spot-the-difference competition with no prizes... Begoon &thinsp; talk  02:10, 19 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I knew about the 1080 one, because I saw the rev, but didn't see a change to the eye (figured it was some gnomey thing about file format). Looked for others, but none stood out.  Figured you had done more.  I will check them all (started to check, but there are so many...)  And thanks again...love it when image people do stuff like that...not just fuss about copyright, but fix things and make better.71.127.137.171 (talk) 04:08, 19 October 2013 (UTC)


 * K-25 and the F2 cells. Good work.  I like things lighter.  Want users to process my photots without the need to click on them.  There are too many for clicking on and also, you'd be surprised how many civilians don't know that the photos have the click to make bigger feature.71.127.137.171 (talk) 04:15, 19 October 2013 (UTC)


 * "but didn't see a change to the eye (figured it was some gnomey thing about file format)" Nah - look again - the red boxes were twisted, the logo was lopsided, lots of spots and blotches - staples through the bottom - it was a goodish transition from the original sign, but geometrically a bit of a mess... The F2 cells was far too dark - you couldn't make out any of the stuff in the shadows. The K2 one, hardly anything - just a tad of lightening. And yes, I too worry that most of what we have in images is lost because folks don't know or bother to click on the thumbnails. On the Jupiter article (or the Sun, I can't remember) one guy added "click to enlarge" in the caption of an image that was particularly meaningless unless enlarged, and people lined up to revert him, because "we don't do that..." Begoon &thinsp; talk  11:04, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've always thought this was also pretty undiscoverable. For desktops, it seems like we could help people, by improving the status-bar-text (right now it just shows the 'File:' URL but we could change it to say click-to-enlarge in addition to the URL), or addtionally/alternatively by making tooltips with the 'click to enlarge' message... or even, doing some AJAX thing that would create an enlarged-popup when they hovered their mouse over the thumbnail, if their browser supports it.  But none of those tricks work on the tablet touchscreen, right?  So you end up with people that pinch-to-zoom, so they can see an uber-enlarged version of the grainy and full-of-artifacts thumbnail, rather than tapping to see the hirez version of the imagefile.  Not sure if there is a happy-medium-solution, that improves life for everybody.  74.192.84.101 (talk) 20:27, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Bosnian Scouts-in-Exile.svg
 Thanks for uploading File:Bosnian Scouts-in-Exile.svg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 12:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

flamebot, power on! :-)
Hello Begoon, nice to make your acquaintance. From what I've been able to grok, Pratham works for the school. Wikipedia has a relaxed WP:N for high schools, so his article is a shoo-in. There are a couple of experienced editors (WikiDan61 seems to be taking the lead) trying to get the article-content into shape. My job is to try and chase Pratham around. :-)    Can you give them a good hard shove them in my direction, if they appear again?  I'll explain the COPYVIO policy, and the donation-mechanism, and so on.  Pratham's main concern is image-uploads, rather than text.  p.s.  You may want to do a little copy-editing revert-work here on your talkpage ... your first sentence in your reply to Pratham is bordering into WP:NPA territory if I may gently point out ... it is pretty clear that this is an ESL situation, and the school is proud of their English-medium instruction, which means good-paying-work for graduates.  Don't be too harsh on Pratham, or frustrated with him.  He's got a lot of wikithuisiasm, and even applied for the admin-bit his first month!  Anyways, once we get the five pillars, and the COI and COPYVIO stuff straightened out, he and his students could easily become solid productive wikiFauna.  In the mean time, thanks for following pillar four, and leaving Pratham that note on their talkpage, and again here. Things seems to take forever around here sometimes, but then, WP:DEADLINE. Anyhoo, appreciate your efforts, thanks for improving wikipedia. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

p.p.s. Actually, although your note to Pratham is perfectly truthful, I'm not sure I fully agree.     Do you really think that *Pratham* has to read and grok COPYVIO/RS/UNDUE/PROMO, before they can contribute?  All they really need, in my book, is to grok the very basics of user-talkpages, article-talkpages, and the five pillars.   With their COI, Pratham won't be doing much direct editing, after all, but will be posting requests to the article-talkpage, for WikiDan or Eastmain to assess. The rules in WP:PG are necessary, I agree with you there... well, for *half* of them we agree at least... but, necessary for beginning editors to memorize, before we permit them to contribute? That's no good. That's driving away beginners. We get literally 1000 new editors every month... and lose 1050, net trend slowly dwindling. (Scroll to the bottom for the drop from 37k editors with 5+edits/mo down to 31k, and still falling.)  Give the beginners a break, is my position, and let them contribute with as few obstacles, hurdles, and bureaucratic-mumbo-jumbo-pages to overcome as we can possibly permit. WP:RETENTION I'll be happy to wikiJoust with you in my flamebot clothes, if you like. :-)   Or not, no problemo if you have little interest.  Consider this food for thought.  It's not criticism of you, please note well; barring the ESL slip, looks to me like you're doing just great with Pratham, and glancing over your userspace, are an awesome asset to wikipedia.  So thanks, and see you around.  Feel free to ping my talkpage if you reply, and I don't respond promptly. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Er, little interest, sorry (in unsolicited little "lectures" anyway ). I do my bit for editor retention, and helping new users. There are different ways of doing that, and I do what works for me. It seems to work for many of them too. Different strokes, you see. Teach a man to fish, and all that... There's certainly no personal attack involved in pointing out that a website has a very low level and standard of English, and how that appears. You could try and find one if you wanted to, I suppose, but it's pretty creative. The good thing, I guess, from their point of view is that rewriting the content to make it acceptable for the English wikipedia will doubtless give them good, freely licensed material to, in turn, improve the site, so everyone wins. But a spade is, in fact, a spade. It's a good thing that you've decided to take this on as a "project" - I've noticed your contributions regarding it. But there is also the "reality" of wikipedia, and if I'm not pointing these things out in a firm but polite way, someone else will do that, or worse. Incidentally, the application for the admin bit said it was to contest speedy deletion notices, presumably on the school article, so yes, it probably demonstrates enthusiasm, but maybe not in the exact way you imply. Thanks for your thoughts.
 * Oh, and whilst we're in the business of advice on nuances in approach - you could probably work on your own manner a little when breezing in to save the world with your bright red undies outside your blue leggings. Someone more sensitive than myself might have been rubbed up the wrong way by the faux-politeness and holier than thou stuff. Let's just call that "food for thought" - not any sort of criticism.  Begoon &thinsp; talk  03:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Absolutely agree what you do works, I scanned through your talkpage, you are in the top 10% of the ten or so folks that I've informally "surveyed" the past month of dashing about; your approach may well work better than *my* approach (see below), to put it bluntly. Please accept my apologies for coming off as fake, or as preachy; very much not intended.  I'll fully admit to the red underpants thing, however.  :-)     Up until this year, I mostly edited mainspace, adding stuff where I thought it needed adding, sometimes but more rarely doing clean-up.  But I've been converted -- pretty much in the religious sense of the term unfortunately -- to the evangelistic flavor of friendlyism unitaryness, and am now dashing around the talkpages, blue tights tighty-tight, sparkly friendlyism unitaryness logo on my cape... actually... come to think of it, maybe we need to pick a new acronym.  Huh.  Never noticed that unfortunate letter-sequencing-bug before!....  ;-)
 * Anyways, appreciate you taking it well, though it rubbed you the wrong way somewhat. I do of course have an approach, of sorts, which is fortunately or unfortunately not at all faked; it's a mix of my naturally-very-critical-of-everything nature, with my naturally-very-optimistic-about-everything nature, plus some sort of way-out-there sense of humour which I dare not describe as 'natural' but with which I was actually born.  I think WP:NICE is the keystone policy, and want everybody to dern well follow it.  So, even people like you that are doing great already, I want to do even-more-greater-er.  Prolly should read WP:TEMPLAR a few more times.  Not to mention WP:WALLOFTEXT.  Would appreciate advice, harsh or otherwise, if you think there's something specific you think will help me improve, that I ought to do or not-do going forward.
 * When I caught the friendlyism disease, I at first just planned to hang around DR/N... but I'm trying to help the 1000-beginners-a-month-crowd. Folks like Pratham almost never make it to DR/N, they instead make it to the xLinkBot talkpage, the RfA page, the teahouse-experienced-host-signup-page, the CSD page, and if they are *very* lucky, the Begoon talkpage.  As for the rock of WP:COMPETENCE and the hard place of WP:COPYVIO, we are in perfect agreement:  there is a reality-in-scarequotes to wikipedia.  For somebody like Pratham to survive, they are going to have to wise up fast, stop violating policies, start listening, read a hundred pages of text or thereabouts, and get used to everything taking endless ages.  My time running around in tights is intended to help me write up a Survival Manual, one page only, so that future Pratham-equivalent-beginners have a better shot at being retained.  Example:  why was his article put into mainspace immediately, rather than going through AfC?  The folks there would have been able to help him, methinks.  Along those lines, my long-term goal is to improve the reality-in-scarequotes, for instance by making the template-messages *actually* friendly rather than officiously impersonal (your framing-comments to Nancy of Logitech are right up my alley).  I found some cooler heads on the Bishzilla talkpage to try my template-spam-rewrites out on; you're also welcome over there, o'course.
 * p.s. Yup, his RfA explanation of why-do-you-need-admin-powers was quite honestly "I must prevent these mysterious Others who keep deleting my uploaded images!".  Very pure.  Very simple.  :-)    I'm pretty sure that Pratham *does* have permission to upload the imagefiles, from the folks that run the school, and maybe even took the shots himself.  If he'll just settle down, you or I could probably explain it to him.  I'm not sure that he'll make it through the bluelinks you gave him, partly because of the ESL thing, and partly based on my hunch about his urgency-to-save-my-images approach to life.  In any case, to call the spade as spade, either Pratham will get lucky, and cool his jets enough to learn the ropes, or he'll be blocked for a month... giving him plenty of time to ponder the bluelinks.  Either way, whether you want to call it wikithusiasm or flagrant disregard for anything standing in his way, Pratham does have some chutzpah, some determination.  Expect he'll be fine.  Appreciate you taking the time to read my second wall-o-text.  Thanks again for your efforts in the wikiverse, and see you around.  &mdash; 74.192.84.101 (talk) 20:06, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It's all good.
 * Advice? I dunno. I guess what springs to mind is that if you're going to target people who you think are "already doing something well" in order to get them to "do it better", then that approach pretty much failed here. I'm odd though - so don't take that to heart.
 * I get your sense of humour - it's very similar to one I employ, which is perhaps why it fell a bit flat here, oddly. You can't kid a kidder, and all that...
 * I admire what you're doing - read my talkpage archives - you'll see I've toyed with the same dilemmas and how (or whether) to address them.
 * I do, though, absolutely love the "Survival Guide" idea - that's awesome - less than a page of bullet points in simple language. That would earn you the cape, imo. I'll design the [S] like logo. I do that.
 * Oh, and yeah - nice to meet you too. I mentioned somewhere else on this page that I like folks who wear their heart on their sleeve. Should be more of it. Begoon &thinsp; talk  15:52, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Well... I was thinking, because you know the details, and I can do the graphics stuff, but you've shown an interest and talent in that area, maybe you'd like to do it as a co-operative thing where we work on an svg together. I could provide a base map, and you could help colour the areas, where we both work on the same file.

No problem if you don't want to, but seemed like a good opportunity for some collaborative fun.

I'll have another look in a day or two and see if I can have another go at talking you into playing. If not I'll have all the fun myself.

Replaceable fair use File:Coat of arms of Malaysia.svg
Thanks for uploading File:Coat of arms of Malaysia.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Emblem of the Ulster Defence Association.svg
