Sure...
Sure I can be, but I took an ingame screenshot of that Darth Revan one, and the illustrator who created that Darth Nihilus image released all rights. I'll still be careful.

Image copyright
Oy: in the future, could you be more careful with licensing images? (I'm thinking specifically of Image:ALT Nihilus.jpg, and that Revan one). Just about everything pertaining to a franchise is copyrighted or trademarked, so even if you actually created that image yourself from scratch, it would still be impossible for it to be public domain. You may want to read Image copyright tags and Copyrights. --maru  (talk)  contribs 00:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

How did you get so good?
I've been a long time user of wikipedia but I just signed up, and I looked at your user page and you have all these groups and awards and stuff and it made me feel bad. How do you do it? Did is just take time and you regularly editing articles that needed it and stuff? Shadow Blade 05:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your complements! I wouldn't describe myself as good per se, just hard-working. My current efforts are directed towards stopping vandalism and blocking abusive editors, with the ocassional contribution when time and opportunity permit! The userboxes on my user page are easy enough to find and add.  I see from your user page that you are exploring that process too. Userboxes is the place to go in order to find those in current use. Projects such as Esperanza have their own userboxes available for use if you decide to become a member.  Like most things in this life, awards are either given on merit for work carried out; because you like the person or something that they have done; because you want to give one to yourself and there is no block against this in the system (there isn't). Some people like what I do enough to tell me so, for which I am most grateful! Many others probably pass on by without knowing that I exist, as vandalism can be reverted relatively easily.  A small percentage disagree with my actions to such an extent that they want to disrupt me or Wikipedia in some way.  Vandal fighting and edit reverting is a devisive issue - no one wants their hard work deleted, or to be told "those are the rules, sorry".  You have to be prepared to put up with the backlash and also have to be prepared to examine your actions closely and be big enough to say "Sorry, I made a bad call". After all we are all human and have busy lives to lead, yes?


 * To answer your questions directly, experience can only be gained through time on WP. There are many places to gain experience; the article space; the project pages space, etc.  Choose the places to explore that interest you and don't leap in straight away. Watch the interaction of the editors, read the Talk pages of articles and inform yourself as much as possible.  You never stop learning on WP, even if all you ever do is read articles! Regular editing and contributing is a good thing but make sure you read the policies and guidelines first. Check out pages such as AfD too, in order to see how editors express their views and opinions and also interpret policies and guidelines.  It can be quite an education!  If you need any more help, please ask or go to Help or the help desk or village pump, all linked from the homepage too. Regards,   (aeropagitica)    (talk)    15:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:ALT Nihilus.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ALT Nihilus.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 22:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:S640x480.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:S640x480.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
