Translation
Welcome to Wikipedia! I was the one that requested the fr:Réalisme fantastique article to be translated. Thanks for volunteering! The general method that I've seen to translate most articles--especially longer ones like this--is to do it in your Sandbox, or to create a user subpage (by creating an article like so: User:USERNAME/ARTICLENAME, which can be deleted later). This is just an extra step so the real page won't be put up for deletion by accident.

I usually like to go to the original French article and copy the raw data from the editing page--then it retains a lot of the formatting, and can help with keeping relevant internal wikilinks.

As far as citing the original French article, under the Resources heading I put a note in italics saying that the article was translated, linking to the original article, and putting the month and year the translation was completed.

Don't forget to wikify and wikilink--it's a bit wearisome, but makes the article prettier and more connected to the rest of Wikipedia, rather than just a text dump. That's all I can think of now...again, thanks for translating, and good luck! Tamarkot 22:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tropicalia.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tropicalia.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 02:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

Orphaned non-free image File:Tropicalia.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Tropicalia.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 07:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
