User talk:The Bob Talbot

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Read the Policies and guidelines.
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 03:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I have been welcomed!
I guess a month after I start is better than never HAR HAR!

If anyone else has any comments just slap them on below these. The Bob Talbot 03:54, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

webcest
You are certainly right to put the Webcest thing up for deletion. I sadly didn't read enough to realize that neologisms accepted by 5 people aren't reasonable content for the wikipedia (though I think they are - if they are extremely unstable, they'll go away on their own).

Un-keen
I don't want to be rude or needlessly agressive, and I think it would be rather unprovoked of me to outright insult you on your own page, but I would just like to say that I don't think you're a totally awesome dude. Sorry. I am open for debate.

reply to Webcest mess
Well if for one you would tell me who you are on Dumbrella (which is where I am guessing you come from? Or an OverCompensating reader?) I would have a better idea of how to address you. Since you are most likely relatively new to the community, I will tell you this:

I've been reading Jeff Rowland's comics since the late 1990s. I've followed his work from Fleen to Keenspot to Dumbrella and through countless messageboards. He and I have become pretty good friends over the years, and though we do not get to see each other lately, I would like to think that has not changed.

Just because he comes up with a word, however, doesn't mean that I am going to blindly run to Wikipedia and support someone making a page for it. Jeff's comic already HAS a page! That is a pretty darn good accomplishment to begin with. I like his "webcest" concept and I think it could be a neat catchphrase if people use it and allow it to enter the internet vocabulary instead of tryin to force it in like you guys did. I don't think Jeff ever advocated that, either. He told you guys to leave it alone.

I would like to think that he'd rather it catch on for real and have a defensible wiki page in the future (probably on wiktionary or some such area) than have you guys perform what amounts to vandalism of Wikipedia.

If you want to think I am not a totally awesome dude for that, after reading this, then go ahead.


 * Dude you is awesome but that is only because of the penis you have attached to youse, is okay bruh

Image Tagging for Image:Bobstatuesque.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bobstatuesque.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image tagging for Image:Fred_Armisen_SNL.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fred_Armisen_SNL.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Unspecified source for Image:Boa_02.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Boa_02.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:11, 29 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:11, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blackoakarkansasalbum01.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Blackoakarkansasalbum01.JPG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 07:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Ruby Starr.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ruby Starr.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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.
