Jenny Saville
I'm not an expert, but I would say that you should wait for her permission. Remember that any content posted to Wikipedia is supposed to be freely usable in any way by any one. She might not agree to that. Perhaps there are images she wouldn't mind sharing. Take care. TheRingess 01:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Penguin, thanks for your message. The image is being used in the article under "Fair Use" terms, because it is still under copyright. The whole copyright issue is very complex, and I am not a lawyer, but it is US copyright law that governs content on Wikipedia. As I understand it, art works published before 1923 are Public Domain in the US and can be freely used on Wikipedia, those published afterwards are still under copyright and images used in articles will have to rely on a fair use justification unless the copyright holder agrees to license it under the GFDL (or other non commercially restricted acceptable license). See Fair use and Template:art for the reasoning behind fair use of artwork images. Another handy copyright link I use, which is written pretty clearly, can be found here.


 * Nice work on Yinka Shonibare as well. If you have the image you want to upload, great. As long as it is reasonably small compared to the original work, a fair use justification is probably OK. You can upload it by clicking on the Upload file link in the toolbox at the left of the page. Enter a description in the edit box and mark it with the correct copyright tag (in this case it will be ). The template contains the fair use justification. If you are not sure what to do, edit the Jenny Saville picture, copy the text from there and modify it as needed.


 * See Uploading images and Picture tutorial for more help on uploading and using images. If you need any further help, let me know. -- Cactus.man  &#9997;  09:55, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I meant to say, if you want me to upload the image for you I would be happy to do that. Cheers. -- Cactus.man  &#9997;  10:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Spam in SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Survey
Hi Penguin!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Adding categories
Hi, just wanted to mention one thing. To add an article to a category type. To mention/link a category but not to place the article into the category insert a colon after the initial like this  .  It's the colon that now stops, for example [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions appearing in Category:Geology of Great Britain.  The colon won't show on the screen, just in the edit field. NtheP (talk) 13:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I'll try that out. Penguin2006 (talk) 13:54, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. If you're going to be playing around with categories much you might want to enable one of the simpler gadgets available called HotCat.  It can be found in the editing section of the Gadgets tab in your preferences page.  Instead of having to open the whole document for editing just to add or remove cats, you just click on the ± buttons attached to the categories on the page instead.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

I need an admin to move a page after I made a mistake
Hello. I was trying to create a disambiguation page for columnar. So I created a disambiguation page at Columnar and moved the existing article at columnar to columnar (biology). Then I changed my mind when I found I could have Columnar (disambiguation). So I made the disambiguation page at Columnar (disambiguation). So now I want to move columnar (biology) back to just columnar. But Wikipedia won't let me and says I need an admin to do that.

Summary. I would like
 * Columnar (disambiguation) - to remain the disambiguation page
 * columnar (biology) to become Columnar
 * columnar (biology) - to be deleted

Thanks in advance. Penguin2006 (talk) 14:40, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. Another time, if you specifically need an admin, adminhelp is a better template to use, but as it happens you got one anyway. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:09, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help and the future tip. Penguin2006 (talk) 18:16, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Award Barnstar(s)?
Hi Penguin2006, should we award a Barnstar to the participants of the BDSM etymology discussion, or at least to User:SailinStuff? I think that was quite a tough job and, since everyone stayed calm and commited, deserves recognition. Also, it helps with editor retention :-) Se&#39;taan (talk) 15:49, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, sounds like a good idea. I liked User:SailinStuff's use of references. And User:RobinHood70 and User:AnonMoos deserve credit for level-headed work in a very long discussion. Penguin2006 (talk) 14:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Query
Hi! I'm currently trying to clear out the auto-populated maintenance category Category:Pages using death year and age template with unknown parameters. User:Penguin2006/sandbox is currently showing up on the list, but I didn't want to edit it without your permission.

Would you mind if I edited your sandbox in order to change the dya template? If you'd prefer to do it yourself, the unknown parameter seems to be the day of death; the template can only accept "Year of death|Year of birth|Month of death (optional)". Changing  to   in the infobox should remove your sandbox from the maintenance category. Please let me know if that's okay. Thanks for your time! Marianna251TALK 21:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

A kitten and question for you!
Hi Penguin2006, Was wondering if you'd be interested in helping with an Art+Feminism wikipedia edit-a-thon in Belfast this March? Given your editing experience and art interests I think you'd be a great match. Please get back to me asap, I require the help of an editor to secure a Rapid Grant for the project.

All the best, Melkhayes
