User talk:Lepetiterobot

Hi
Hi Lepetiterobot. Well, hmmm, you seem to be doing fine. Try clicking on some of the links above, I guess... to get an idea of how articles should be, you can try the Random Article link at the right... click on this link: Sandbox and you can practice editing to your heart's content, it is the sandbox and designed for practice. Any other more specific questions, I'm glad to help.

Also, when you leave a message on a talk (discussion) page, you should end it with four tildes ( ~ ). That will automatically add your name and the time. Herostratus 13:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Spontaneous human combustion
I'm just writing to inform you that I reverted an edit you made to a talk page. I reverted because all you did was remove content not written by you from the talk page. If you feel that the content should be removed, the appropriate action should be to say so on the talk page, with your reasoning. Then, assuming no one objects, it may be okay to delete the offensive material. However, talk page contents are not subject to such strict guidelines as main namespace contributions, and in fact the best response to removing offensive or inappropriate content may be to just archive the talk page.

In this particular circumstance, I would be inclined to keep the material, unless the original contributors removes it themselves. But that is my opinion, and is not reflective of established policy here. If you feel otherwise, please feel free to bring it up on the talk page. &mdash; Eric Herboso 12:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem is with the copyright. When you uploaded the image, you specified that only permission to use the image on Wikipedia was given; however, Wikipedia is designed to be redistributable, and pictures in it have to be licenced so that they can be redistributed, and derivative works of them created. You should ask for permission to licence the image under either the GFDL (the somewhat complicated licence Wikipedia uses; see [[WP:GFDL|the full legal details), or the considerably simpler Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence (or both); both licences request that their author is attributed when used (Wikipedia attributes the author by linking the image description page and licence to the image itself), and that derivative works are licenced under the same licence. If you get permission to use one of these licences, you should be able to use the image without problems. I hope that helps! --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 14:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * (By the way, you can request deletion of an image you uploaded by placing db-author on its image description page.) --ais523 14:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The ability to delete content is restricted to administrators, to reduce the risk of abuse. 'Speedy deletion' using db-author normally only takes a few minutes (maybe a bit longer in the case of images); putting a speedy deletion tag on a page alerts administrators to the situation and they will decide whether to delete the page (normally they will, except in cases of the tag being placed maliciously or due to a misunderstanding). --ais523 14:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * (Sorry this answer's a bit late, I wasn't online) Normally you wouldn't be notified when the image is deleted. You can check by going to its description page, or by seeing if its uploading is still present in your contributions. Hope that helps! --ais523 08:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

An Automated Message from HagermanBot
Hello. 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 ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. 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! HagermanBot 14:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
