User talk:Marlowe~enwiki

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
 * Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).

Charlie Parker
Hi, I noticed you uploaded Image:Charlie parker.jpg and wanted to remind you to put source information and copyright information on it. We have to have this info, or the image can't be used; see Copyrights for details. Thanks, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 16:08, 2004 Jul 21 (UTC)
 * Uploaded new image and credited on page.Marlowe 16:23, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm very sorry, but the new photo won't do. It's under copyright. Images have to be in the public domain, or released under the GFDL. Thanks. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 16:29, 2004 Jul 21 (UTC)

P.S. You can try fair use, but I don't like relying on it. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 16:30, 2004 Jul 21 (UTC)


 * Uhh, don't know what to tell you. Fair use sounds good to me.  Otherwise, you can delete if neccessary.  Thanks.Marlowe 16:35, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Image:Capone prison.jpg
Hello Marlowe, i wanted to ask you where you got that picture of Al Capone (Image:Capone prison.jpg) from. Is it really Public Domain or GNU/FDL? If yes, I'd like to know the source of it, as we in the German Wikipedia see the copyright stricter. --Greetings de:Crux


 * I got it from the US Gov't FBI website . This is an FBI file photo so is in public domain, I believe.  Thanks.


 * Thank you too! --de:Crux

Unverified images
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:


 * Image:Dexter_gordon.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License,  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 05:36, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Jack McGrun article
The Jack McGurn article is not a copy vio. The website you reference took its text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. Thanks. Marlowe
 * Where did you get the information from? And don't say you wrote it yourself, because you didn't. It came from a book. Believe me when I tell you this, I own the book and it is in there, word for word. I don't have the name of that book offhand, but that article is a word-for-word copyvio of it, unless its copyright has since expired, which I doubt.
 * Also, when a copyvio tag is added, it MUST remain there until the issue on the copyvio page itself has been officially resolved by an admin. Then and ONLY then can the copyvio tag be removed, as the information is then certified once more. If you wish to argue your case, please add a line below my notice there. Please do not revert this tag again. Thank you for your time. Master Thief Garrett 23:23, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your desire to impugn my integrity here, but I WROTE THE PASSAGE MYSELF. I'm sorry that you think this is a copy vio, but unless you produce copy from the book you claim from which it came (the title of which you can't remember) i'm going to revert the page.Marlowe
 * I'm sorry, I know what it sounds like, I do not wish to make you look like a liar... all I know is the facts, that I read something identical, or, at the very least, ****ing similar, in that book. But I will dig the book out and get back to you shortly. If I'm mistaken, I am very, very, very sorry... Master Thief Garrett 23:24, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh! I am so, so sorry! Upon closer inspection, the book has about five lines that are *almost* identical, especially the closing line, but it's just that those words are the most "fitting" terms in the English language and so were coincidentally chosen by both the author and you. It's still flippin' similar, but completely incidentally... I've reverted the article again. Sorry for all the trouble! Dear oh deary me... Master Thief Garrett 05:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Marlowe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marlowe~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
