Welcome
 Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia!   My name is &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  and I have been on Wikipedia for sometime now. I have been wandering around when I saw your name and decided to drop by to see if you need help with Wikipedia. I have also attached this list of some links that might help you: You should also note that you have to sign your comments by using four of those ~ at the end of your messages (i.e. ~, this will simply place your user name and date; see my signature at the end of this message as an example.) Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have a question or require help with Wikipedia, you can leave me a new message here. P.S. Some new users find editing Wikipedia a bit difficult at first, but it only seems this way. In fact it is quite easy to get used to editing it and actually finding that enjoyable ! :) Good luck! :) &Lambda;ua&int; Wi  se  (Operibus anteire) 17:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Pseudomonas(talk) 09:54, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I guess I didn't site all of this properly. I added the citation to another spot in the article. Do I need to add more citations to show the content is all from that page?LizGere (talk) 20:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)LizGere

Speedy deletion nomination of Company 3
A tag has been placed on Company 3, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  L P  talk 15:00, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

The article wasn't written as an encyclopedia article, but as the kind of promotional statement that the company might post to its own website. Wikipedia isn't an advertising database; we need independent, reliable sources and a neutral point of view. Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 19:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I have added the appropriate copyright tags to JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG Thank you for pointing that error out. --LizGere (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jade Alexis


The article Jade Alexis has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article reads like an advertisement. No reliable sources about her.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 02:19, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Jade Alexis for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jade Alexis is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Jade Alexis until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. VQuakr (talk) 00:36, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:JadeAlexisWiki2.JPG, which you've sourced to Uploader claims both "own work" and "received permission", appears to have been downloaded from. 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 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. VQuakr (talk) 00:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * To follow up on your comment here, just having permission from the photographer to use the image on Wikipedia is not adequate for the image to be used. Two things need to happen:


 * 1) The author needs to release the image using a free use license, which means that anyone can use the image for any purpose (including financial gain) as long as they credit the photographer.
 * 2) The author's release of the image needs to be documented, usually by having them send their permission to the location shown here and documenting the OTRS ticket number on the image page.
 * Thanks, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Regards! VQuakr (talk) 00:53, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IHAShowLogo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:IHAShowLogo.gif. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
