License tagging for File:Beauty Secrets 1979.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Beauty Secrets 1979.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Userspace draft
You can create as many user subpages as you like, to work on articles, experiment, etc. The easiest way to do this is to create links to the non-existent pages here on your talk page or - better - your user page, and then click on them to create them. For example, you could put this on your user page;


 * User:Privy1/test1
 * User:Privy1/test2
 * User:Privy1/my draft
 * User:Privy1/foo baa

That will display as;


 * User:Privy1/test1
 * User:Privy1/test2
 * User:Privy1/my draft
 * User:Privy1/foo baa

You can make as many user subpages as you like, and give them any name. By having the links on your user page, it will be convenient to access them.  Chzz  ► 13:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I tried pasting into the Sandbox with similar results. Part of the body is still not appearing. But this time, the list was deleted as well. --Privy1 (talk) 14:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Please just save it - somewhere. Then I can work out what the problem is. Until you save it, I can't see it.  Chzz  ► 14:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.  Chzz  ► 13:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Barbie and Her Careers
Re. User:Privy1/Barbie and Her Careers

Thank you for saving it.

I moved the page into your own userspace - so that it is not a live article - because, it needs work before it could go live.

It is now in User:Privy1/Barbie and Her Careers.

Someone has already fixed the references. You were using 'named references' incorrectly; see the help on this page.

There are other problems with the article though; it is not neutral - it isn't appropriate to write things such as ...just another doll without her incredible wardrobe... - because those are opinions, not facts - and this is an Encylcopaedia, so we only state facts. See WP:TONE.

If you need more help, please put right here, on your user talk page, followed by a question.

Cheers,  Chzz  ► 14:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

how do you get pictures to line up and keep with the correct reference sequence - that is text is written than in some way references Pic, 1,2, 3, then 4 so then you insert Pic 1,2,3, then 4 but they don't appear that way in the preview & they interrupt the next section. Thanks.--Privy1 (talk) 16:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If you make the article live, I shall probably nominate it for deletion, or rather for merging into Barbie. You need to establish that this article is both notable and capable of being encyclopaedic, separate from Barbie. --ColinFine (talk) 17:55, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

It would be great if it's merged with the Barbie page. Can you help with line-up of the photos? I tried changing the placement of the lines & spacing to no avail. Also with the left, center, right placement, no help either. Thanks.--Privy1 (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I've put them all into a gallery; that's one option. Otherwise, you should just stick with the basic format of FILENAME.JPG - which puts the image on the right, in a box.


 * We avoid having too many images and overlapping images, because people read Wikipedia on so many different sized screens - so we try to keep the layout nice and simple.


 * I think, however, there might be copyright problems with those photos - because they are depicting copyrighted 3-dimensional works. Maybe you could check that on Media copyright questions.


 * Oh - also, I put the list into 3 columns, to make it a bit neater.  Chzz  ► 18:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Then there are problems with all the pictures on the Barbie page. Thanks for fixing the photo line-up and the - they look gre--Privy1 (talk) 18:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)at.
