User talk:David Mills

Welcome
Hey David. If you remember me, I'm Occams_Razor on iidb. We've posted to a few of the same threads. I just happened to see your post to atheism (what a shocker, two users from iidb making edits to an article on atheism). I see you're pretty new here. If you need any help, just drop me a line on my talk page. I am posting a standard welcome template below, which has a bunch of useful links. --Fuhghettaboutit 04:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Ha! If you could see the attempts of many newcomers here on their first article... There's a lot to know here about the technical aspects of things--placing pages in appropriate categories, stub tags, wiki formatting, image markup, copyright tagging, article style convention and the numerous policies that are taken into consideration in article treatment, to name a few. A really good place to start is the Tutorial. Again, if you have a technical (or other) issue, feel free to ask me. By the way, you signed you post to me by typing your name out. An easier and more useful way of signing posts is to type four tildes ( ~ ). This automatically formats your username as a clickable link and leaves a date and time stamp. I am responding to you on my user talk page, but I am also placing this on your user talk page so you get the "you have new messages" notification. I find this site utterly addictive (and a noble venture) and have pretty much stopped posting at iidb. Responding for the umpteenth time to--"you people just hate god," or "how can evolution be true--no human has ever given birth to a monkey" was starting to give me agita.--Fuhghettaboutit

Hi David, and Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and will decide to stay. However, without wishing to dampen your enthusiasm in any way, it might be as well for you to read this first! Please take care.—Laurence Boyce 16:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Atheist Universe
I have nominated Atheist Universe, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Atheist Universe. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Tim1357 (talk) 00:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Atheist Universe.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Atheist Universe.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude ( talk ) 08:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:David-Mills.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:David-Mills.jpg. 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Redsky89 (talk) 07:14, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
