User talk:RVDDP2501/Archive1

Hi, This is regarding the Extinctioners page. Wow, you did a great job with the article. I see that you put a lot of calculations behind the size of the images. I only resized the images because it is starkly different from the layout in other Wikipedia articles. Anyways, I leave that to you to either resize it or leave it like that. However I want you to know that there are ways to deal with the blank space that comes beside the TOC - and. Please see Windows Vista, WinFS, Alizée, Features new to Windows Vista for demonstration.

And for images, they must be non-copyrighted if you want to upload them. Otherwise they will be deleted. Also while uploading, you must specify the source. Most images from web are not in this category. But book/magazine covers can be used, under certain cirumstances.

And it is improper to remove warning messages from your talk page. If you ever get such a message, give a response justifying your actions both on your talk page, as well as on the talk page of the person who put the message.

Apart from that, Welcome to Wikipedia. -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  05:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, thnx for ur comments.


 * The messages you said you got were only drawing your attention to the fact that the sources of the images that you uploaded were not specified.So, specifying sources is a good start. However, that is not entirely sufficient. Since all the images are copyrighted, you need to provide a rationale stating why using it on wikipedia qualifies as fair use of the image, without infringing the copyright. Only then it can be used in wikipedia. So in additionn to the, you must add one  tag as well.


 * As for the article, IMO it looks too heavy on pictures. The concept art images do not add any further clarification to the prose. Other than that, its a nice article.


 * As for knowing about Wikipedia, it just a matter of experience. Here are a bunch of links that will help you.
 * Bootcamp, for basics of editing.
 * Tutorial, in-depth help regarding editing.
 * FAQ and Help, for any questions.
 * Manual of Style, for guidelines on formatting an article.
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia, for official policies on Wikipedia.


 * Hope this helps. -- so U  m  y  a  S  ch  05:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Extinctioners Page
Thanks for editing the link to the Extinctioners site, listen, is there a limit to the number of pic on Wikipedia, cause a user named Pathoschild COMPLETELY edited my page last night, changed everything, left a ton of empty spaces, what do you think and what should I do? Do you think I have too many pics or are you like me, more visual info, the better —Preceding unsigned comment added by RVDDP2501 (talk • contribs)
 * Generally, having too many non-free images is discouraged, but personally I like images. That said, I don't really want to get seriously involved in the debate. All I did was change a link in the external links section. Hope you don't get too much wikistress —Pengo 11:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, then can I ask your opinion, if thats ok with you, which pics do you think are not nessesary, which one you think can stay, etc. I really would like you opinion, if you want I can give you my e-mail address so we can talk in an easier way, what would you prefer?


 * If you want my honest opinion, making shrines to pop culture is a massive waste of time and you've already invested far too much mental and emotional energy to it. I really wish people would care more about conserving real animals and less about the placement of drawings of anthropomorphised ones. Pathoschild's version is much neater, and the images which have been removed could possibly be added in a gallery at the bottom, although they are basically unnecessary. Try reading what has already been said to you. If you like drawings of animals, why not make some yourself and add them to the relevant articles about those animals. There are plenty of mammals that don't have pictures yet. —Pengo 11:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll try and make it better, tell me what you think?

ok, its edited, what do you think (P.S. it was alittle bit difficult to remove pics that i worked to add)

I believe that the page is totaly overloaded with images, and happen to agree with 's reworking of the page. The Wiki project on Fair Use states that we must keep fair use images to a minimum, and no page can be overloaded with them with out being a copyright violation. I like the page; but loose some of the pictures. A dmrb♉ltz (t • c • [ log]) 18:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The page is overloaded right now. should not have made a gallery of fair use images, I believe there should only be 1 pic per charicter.  A dmrb♉ltz (t • c • [ log]) 00:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

well, at least the page is much more neat, there ARE fewer pics and I created the model group at the bottom, Pathoschild (thank you) just turned it into a gallery, I like the two pic per character, it give viewers on one hand a coloured version and on the other, a full body view, plus with two pick on either side, it appears more even, don't you think?
