Great work on the Elchonon Wasserman article! I noticed you were also working on the Yeshiva ohr elchonon chabad article, but wound up blanking it. It is good work, and it would be a shame to lose it. If you really want it deleted, you can put a request on the page for speedy deletion (the message   should work), but if you're just not happy with the wording etc., it can be taged as such and folks will improve it. You're making some great contributions, so keep up the good work. Feel free to write a note on my talk page (just edit it and add a note to the bottom) if I can help with anything. Thanks again, --Hansnesse 03:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, you don't need to sign articles, the server marks your contributions automatically. Signing talk pages (like this) however, is encouraged. Thanks again, --Hansnesse 03:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Help?
Anyone know how to add pictures into articles?

Images
Howdy! Getting images into articles requires two things: uploading (unless it is already here) an image to the server, and putting the text ''' ''' into the article. There are lots more options for displaying the image too, but this one is probably the one I use most often. The steps are
 * 1) click the upload file on the left side of the screen, and upload the file
 * 2) insert the above code for the image where you want it (usually the top for short articles), changing the word "filename" to whatever you called it when uploaded.

A more difficult problem is getting images off the web. If the image you want is from the web, we'd have to make sure that it is not under copyright before uploading it, or get the copyright owner's permission. The Image use policy can give some guidance. Alternatively, you can put in a request for an image at Requested pictures.

Some general image links:
 * Images - Gives the general bits about images
 * Finding images tutorial - A great intro to getting images of all sources to Wikipedia
 * Extended image syntax - Lots of options for displaying images

Does this help at all? --Hansnesse 04:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Wasserman-2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wasserman-2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.65.227 10:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Wasserman-2.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Wasserman-2.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

there is no proof that it was published before January 1, 1923

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on  explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Wasserman-2.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Wasserman-2.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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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 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. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
