PD contributions
I want to place the public-domain contributions template on my page, but I can't figure out how to do it. Could you explain how? Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nyttend (talk • contribs) 03:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC).
 * Yes, that's what I wanted. Thanks!  Nyttend 13:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Test site
Ah, you found my test site. It it were a house, there would be a burnt-out vehicle on the lawn and at least thirty cats just in line of sight. I think you'll find, that is usually washes off with soap, but wade too far in and the damage can be very permanent. For finding it, you may have this userbox. Cheers!

RE: locator map
Hi there! Well, it is my intent to update all the locator maps for countries in Wikipedia -- I mean, a locator map should, first and foremost, be centred upon the country/entity of note (which few of the locator maps currently and consistently do adequately, I think), and I thought North America would be a good place to start. Please feel free to make any suggestions for enhancements. Corticopia 03:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That's a good point which I also thought of, but is it any more odd than the world maps in current use that are continuous west-east and discontinuous north-south, and distorted towards the periphery?  While all maps have a degree of distortion, this may be misleading.  I mean, just say I'm in Canada, and I want to know where Indonesia is.  Which map would better serve this purpose?  However, as you suggested, I think I will initiate a discussion regarding this.   Perhaps in the interim, I'll restore the prior maps.  Thoughts?  Thanks! Corticopia 03:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Speaking of which, I need to hit the sac.  Take care! Corticopia 04:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Martinthewarrior.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Martinthewarrior.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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Image:%attac aus stand.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:%attac aus stand.JPG. 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-no-disclaimers 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 09:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 09:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Widget
Hi, I noticed that you moved this to mainspace and I'm having trouble understanding why. Could you explain please? JoshuaZ 23:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't think a piece of copyrighted software (at any rate, the image uploaded was uploaded under a FU rationale) fit in the project space. I'm also trying to sort this out on AmiDaniel's talk page.  Bl a  st  [ improve me ] 17.05.07 1233 (UTC)

How did you make that header thingy?
How did you make that big header thing with contact, talk page, contributions, and then all the things down below like at a glance, awards, and toolbox? I would like to make one for my page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandman850 (talk • contribs) 00:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:%attac aus stand.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:%attac aus stand.JPG. 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Betacommand (talk • contribs)
