User talk:Nettyboo

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  16:02, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Tmartin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tmartin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Richard_e_grant.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Richard_e_grant.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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 13:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Jlumley.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jlumley.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Regarding my actions
If you want to complain about me, there is no stopping you. However, like I said before, take a look at the section "How not to be a spammer" in WP:SPAM. In particular: "Contribute cited text, not bare links" and "Don't gratuitously set off our spam radar". As it is clear you are a registered user, please also edit logged in. Otherwise one sees (like I did) an IP user whose edits, with few exceptions, consist of linking a site, and not actually contributing. That tends to scream "SPAM!" so loud it is deafening.--Drat (Talk) 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Laughterlog.com
The information on this site can be either included in Wikipedia, or can be found elsewhere, so external links to the site aren't really appropriate in this case. HawkerTyphoon 15:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You cannot simply copy other sites and put them in Wikipedia, so it is relevant to link to them instead. Nettyboo 15:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You're right there, but you can take the information from them and rephrase it in your own words :-) HawkerTyphoon 15:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The information I am linking to is discographies, radio lists, television lists, episode guides, etc, etc. You can't rephrase a list.  It isn't fair to deny that information to researchers.  ;-) Nettyboo 15:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Most of it is already on IMDB.com, and if it's only a list, it can easily be placed on Wikipedia and the list isn't copyrighted. Although we can leave the links in I suppose:P Happy eediting! HawkerTyphoon 15:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Live long and prosper. Nettyboo 15:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of actors who have played the Doctor. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. magnius (talk) 11:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to List of actors who have played the Doctor. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. magnius (talk) 14:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

If you continue to interfere with my talk page I will report you and request that you are blocked from editing. I am well within my rights to delete anything I wish from my own talk page WP:VAN, you actions are vandalism. magnius (talk) 00:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:Magnius. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. magnius (talk) 00:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you! Beeblebrox (talk) 03:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Yawns!! Reported me for what? Following wiki policy? Move along buddy. magnius (talk) 13:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:John & Yoko.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:John & Yoko.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will 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. J Milburn (talk) 14:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Bold, Revert, Discuss at List of actors who have played the Doctor
Actually, the onus is on you to start the discussion. Two different editors have reverted your edit. You shouold read WP:BRD; you were Bold and added it, it was Reverted (twice), and so now you should Discuss. If someone else reverts it, and you revert it again, you'll be edit warring and at risk of being blocked.

However, I've started at discussion on the talk page. Ged UK  13:40, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
