Too many Licenses?
Do i have to put information on the licenses I want on my work on my home page? And how many different licenses are there at Wikipedia?

NickC · Talk 15:32, July 13, 2005 (BST)


 * Nick: No, you don't have to; if you put nothing, it will automatically be released under the GFDL because all Wikipedia pages are released under the GFDL unless otherwise noted. You can look here for a list of licensing templates you can add to your page. In the lefthand column will be something that looks like this: . Pick out the license you want, copy that text (with the  – part) and insert it on your page where you want it (you can click the "preview" button at the bottom of the edit box to see how it looks before you save.)


 * But, again, you don't have to put anything; some of us do just because 1) we like having things on our userpages, or 2) we want to be extra-clear. If you have any more questions, you can ask me at my talk page (I see comments on my talk page faster because I get an alert whenever an edit is made there). -- Essjay ·  Talk 14:37, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Anon Edits
Nick, an anonymous editor just made a change to you user page; did you get logged out accidentally, or was this someone else. If it was you, you may be having the same problem as some other editors are, and you can go to "preferences" at the very top of the page and click "keep me logged in across sessions" to fix it. If it wasn't you, let me know and I'll warn the anon not to make changes to userpages without permission. -- Essjay ·  Talk 15:41, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

It was me, sorry about that. I am using Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4. -- NickC · Talk 16:48, July 13, 2005 (BST)


 * That's okay, it happens all the time. I just wanted to make sure before I went and warned the IP. You're doing good work, keep it up! -- Essjay ·  Talk 15:54, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Changing my Username
When I change my username, could u repost the first topic and the license topics again please? (They were really helpful!). Thanks.

No problem, just drop by my page and leave me a note telling me what your new username is. (By the way, why do you want a new username?) -- Essjay ·  Talk 09:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

It's too long :) - -- NickC · Talk 10:09, July 14, 2005 (BST)


 * I see. You might want to check out Changing username too. -- Essjay ·  Talk 09:19, July 14, 2005 (UTC)


 * My new username is now Nick_C · Talk 11:56, July 14, 2005 (BST)


 * Glad you got it straightened out! -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:00, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for voting in my RfA; I promise I'll wield my sacred mop with care. If you ever need me for anything, you know where to find me. Thanks again! -- Essjay ·  Talk 15:20, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

2005 USA-Race
DNS stands for when a car does not take a a race start. Makes sense. By having Ret listed that mean the driver has actually started in that race and will count a race starts towards the driver race start tally.. The formation lap does not count as a lap at all as it is not added towards the race classification. For when does a driver 'start' a Grand Prix? To my mind he does so only if he is on the grid when the flag drops or light goes green at the final start. Should a driver have failed to compete the formation lap, for instance (as was the case with Prost at Imola in 1991), he cannot truly be said to have started the race. In the case of restarted events such as the British GP in 1986, poor Jacques Laffite certainly did start the race, but this was declared null and void and he was not presented to take the restart, which is the only one that counts. For true official race results is best to get them off www.forix.com as they receive their race results from the officials. Yes I know formula1.com is official but not 100% official in statistics. If you decide to leave it as Ret then you must give all the drivers a race start count!

I have spend hours in researching and asking many F1 statistician who are famous and know more on Grand Prix. All the statisian I have contacted and got back told me it is actually DNS not Ret, they also have mention the formula1.com is not very accurate with their race results. The formula1.com is incorrect as listing as ret instead of DNS for 2005-USA. This were the responses from the following people. Renowned F1 statistians, like David Hayhoe or Autosport's Peter Higham agree that all Michelin drivers were DNS in 2005-USA, but consider a RET if a driver didn't made a re-start, for example. That was the common view in the past - no contemporary source listed Lauda as a DNS in 1976-Germany - and they simply ignore the current "null and void" FIA rule. I totally agree to change it as DNS not Ret as they didn't take part on the first lap.

Here is a intersting fact. Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Does this make sense to you. That means wikipedia will have an extra race start for all the drivers who have no started in the 2005 USA race have an extra race start which wouldn't be official to the drivers stats.

I am trying to help you all to have accurate data on Formula 1 on wikipedia. I DO beleive the formula1.com site doesn't not give out accurate race classifications. As I have been involved with FORIX and autosport.com for many years as my job is to look for incorrect data on their server. Andreas 04 October 09:36

Featured article for December 25th
I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox.

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 41% for major edits and 59% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 17 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 18:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Urgent!
Nick, please go to this page ASAP, as the Olympic conventions pages have been nominated for deletion! I trust that you like them a lot and from your edits, you are not willing to lose all of the work you put in. I urge you to vote "Keep", as 3 weeks of work are about to go down the drain! Thanks.

 * Template:Round8 for the final schedule with the complete results.
 * Thanks! Hope I didn't waste much of your time. Is it also possible for you to add a Third Place playyoff box to the templates, as out of the 6 major tournaments that have at least 12-16 participants, 4 have a third place playoff, and with the European Championship and OFC Nations Cup, I can leave the box blank. - Nick C 18:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 14:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

F1 portal featured article
The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Vukcevic s01.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Vukcevic s01.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Selected articles on Portal:F1
Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Caribbean Nations Cup 2007 tie breaker
Hello!

Are you sure the tie breaker is head-to-head results? Do you have an official source for this? In group D, the last two results were: Jamaica - Haiti 2 - 0 and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - Saint Lucia 8 - 0. Haiti, Jamaica and Saint Vincent are tied with 6 points each. If head-to-head is used between the 3 teams, you have:

1. Haiti 3p (4 - 2) 2. Jamaica 3p (3 - 2) 3. Saint Vincet 3p (2 - 5)

Haiti and Jamaica advance.

If goal difference is used:

1. Haiti 6p (11-3) 2. Saint Vincent 6p (10-5) 3. Jamaica 6p (7-2) 4. Saint Lucia 0 (1-19)

Haiti and Saint Vincent go through.

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Ding Junhui.jpg, has been listed at. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Shizhao 09:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Elena119.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Elena119.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. pfctdayelise (talk) 11:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Added copyright tag. - Nick C 16:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted again as your changes caused problems Pit-yacker 18:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have reverted your later addition as this was discussed extensively, and consensus was reached on three occasions that the field should not be included. One user, however, refuses to accept this consensus. I think it better for you to add this information to the main body of the article rather than get embroiled in an issue that was resolved a few times. Sorry to sound so unhelpful, but I think it would be best.  DDStretch    (talk)  19:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)
Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability.

Fair use rationale for Image:Steve Davis.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Steve Davis.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 17:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. - Nick C 17:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you also add back in (not replace) the original image? The "action shot" was pretty keen, even if the new one gives us a better look at him in general. &mdash;  SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 11:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Template
Hi Nick, just explaining my position. I felt the templates were unnecessary, as the main page lists it all in the statistics section and there is also a category with every page in it. It will also encourage pages for other countries to spring up, which may consist of only one or two sentences. Hope this clarifies where I was coming from. L. Fields 17:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I see where you're coming from, but we can just create a template without red links, so just linking the existing articles together. - Nick C 17:54, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a possibility, though perhaps a separate template could be created for each continent. I still feel, however, that it's best that they link to the OS article and not each other, as often the groups have little in common. Also, the template may imply that the groups are identified as Chinese before, say, British. Obviously that wasn't the intent, but it may be interpreted that way, especially for the stubs where the template is half the article. A template for SE Asia makes sense, though. L. Fields 18:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's true, although PHOverseassmall exists which links articles relating to Overseas Filipino together. Also we should imply in the articles that the groups are collectivelly known as Overseas Chinese, but they may have citizenship of a different country. - Nick C 18:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kosovo_FA.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kosovo_FA.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Hilda Suarez.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Hilda Suarez.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

As a member of WikiProject Snooker, it is requested that you watchlist at least the following pages: Keeping in touch with the rest of the team via the project pages, and keeping an occasional eye on core articles will go a long way to strengthening the project and protecting the articles.

 * WikiProject Snooker - if the project members do not pay attention to changes at the project page, especially its talk page, effective collaboration will be nearly impossible and the project would eventually fail.
 * WikiProject Snooker/Wanted snooker bios - this is an important part of the project's to-do list.
 * Snooker - our main article, frequently subject to vandalism and nonsense edits that (historically) have sometimes taken hours or even an entire day to be fixed
 * Snooker season 2006/2007 - another important article
 * Snooker world rankings 2006/2007 - another important article
 * One or more player articles of your choice that you'd like to "adopt" as a guardian against vandalism, PoV-pushing, etc.

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long


Dear:  ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.



Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：
 * Date： 11, August, 2007 (Saturday) 
 * Time： After 5:00pm 
 * Proposed region： Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

"Please don't hesitate to give your good suggestion to us"

Regards, Hong Kong Wikimedian Sith lord darth vader 16:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

RJFJR 00:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC) ==Unspecified source for Image:2006 afc challenge cup logo.gif==

Thanks for uploading Image:2006 afc challenge cup logo.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaKBOT 21:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:00, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Vukcevic_s01.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Vukcevic_s01.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 18:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
