Jeremy Kewly
Hi - thanks for the article on Kewly. There are a number of style issues with the article. The most obvious is the use of capitalisation for film titles etc. On Wikipedia we italicise them. If there are articles on the film, we provide a wikilink. You might like to look at other articles on actors to get a few hints, see for example Grant Bowler. I am also concerned that the article started as a very sizeable document - I do hope there are no copyright issues with the text - ie it wasn't copied from somewhere else. Regards--Golden Wattle talk 05:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi - I will leave you in peace now. Wikilinks are produced with the 3rd button on the tool bar immediately above the editing screen - highlight the text and click that and it will produce square brackets eg around the text you are linking to .  It doesn't take long to catch on but I appreciate it can be confusing at first.  I hope you enjoy it  Regards--Golden Wattle  talk 05:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Two more things - the italics go outside the brackets for wikilinks eg Mad Dog Morgan -> Mad Dog Morgan and you may need to disambiguate and use a pipe - eg Melbourne's Haileybury College -> Melbourne's Haileybury College. The bit before the pipe  |  - (key just above the enter key and use the shift key) is the article title and the bit after is the text that appears highlighted as a wikilink.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Students 2009 - Andrew Morley.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Students 2009 - Andrew Morley.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 Non-free content, 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 created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 02:30, 10 March 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 02:30, 10 March 2011 (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.
