Question
You said: "Hey I have a question! I borrowed my friend's camera and went to a wrestling event and took pictures. Does that mean those images belong to me? Or my friend?"


 * Provided you were not taking the pictures for your friend, the images belong to you. If the "payment" for taking the pictures is that you give the pictures to your friend, this would be a work for hire and the copyright would rest with your friend, though this is debateable.  If your friend paid you to take the photographs, there's no debate, the copyright rests solely with your friend unless there's some other contract in play.  --Yamla 17:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Hello, I am new in Wikipedia and I would like to be adopted. Can you adopt me?--Idontknow610 14:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You asked: Are you willing to adopt me?


 * Yeah I can do that. You seem like a good faith editor. Before you decide let me just briefly introduce myself. I'm 33 years old and live in Denmark. I've been with Wikipedia for about a year. I tend to mostly do things like disambiguating and general clean-up but I have been involved in most of what goes on here and I have a good understanding of policy. I have been working on several hard-to-work-on articles. I am online everyday so usually you would have to wait no more than 12 hours for a reply, mostly because I'm in Europe. If you choose to be adopted by me just leave a notice on my talk page! Happy editing! MartinDK 06:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Randy Orton trivia
As I stated in my edit summary I removed it per the policies WP:BLP and WP:A. The specific policy clauses are WP:BLP and WP:A. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 01:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Ehhhm. Yes the television show could go in the article although it might be best to create a new subsection above personal life called "Television appearences" as I don't think it would fit into "Personal life". As for his favourite wrestlers, if you can find a decent reference for that (i.e. not a fansite/blog/forum) and put that in "Personal life" then I don't think anyone would remove it.

Cool. Hope I can help when I contribute. Hey, can we friends on wikipedia? Clen_17 09:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Do you know the basics of wikipedia? Clen_17 06:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I put the "adoptme" in my page. Your page looks so professional. Clen_17 06:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. How are you by the way? Clen_17 06:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm great. I just had a message from the user that adopted me. What user made you mad? Clen_17 06:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

article ratings
Sorry it's taken me a while to reply. Yeah, anyone can rate articles although GA (good article status) and FA (Featured article status) have to be submitted for approval (basically an experienced editor independent from the project has to review and assess the article). As with everything on Wikipedia there is always the possibility that someone will disagree. This page is a good place to refer to. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 14:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
Hi Zenlax. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you but real life has been a mess the last 2 weeks or so. I lost my connection and family problems have consumed all my time. I wanted to get back to you on saturday but my internet repeatedly screwed up. I was able to AfD 2 articles but when I wanted to respond to your messages I got disconnected again.

I would very much like to rate an article for you but like it says above GA and FA needs to be submitted for community approval. I hope you are doing well, I'll take a look at your edits now and get back to you later today.

Once again sorry for not responding but both my internet problems as well as other real life issues should be resolved now.

MartinDK 07:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

The article that you want to rate is Shane McMahon? MartinDK 07:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!!! Everything is fine again now fortunately. I read the article and personally I would rate it as B class. It is fairly extensive and it reads like it pretty much covers what needs to be covered. The first part of the article needs better sources and the sytax used for creating references needs to be improved. I can't help you with getting more sources but I can help you with the syntax for citing webpages. Remember that anyone can rate an article. For Good Article status or Featured Article status you do need community approval though. Once the first part of the article is better sourced I would suggest that you submit the article for a peer review. I'll get back to you later today and show you how to cite web pages correctly. MartinDK 06:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Citing sources
Okay the syntax for citing web pages is real simple. I already fixed it in the article but the basic syntax is

.

You need to cite sources when stating something that isn't common knowledge (like George Bush being president) or when stating something that is blatantly apparent from the references given. For example you don't need to cite a source for the fact that he is a wrestler because that is already obvious form the sources provided.

You do however need to cite sources for thing that aren't obvious. For example, when saying that

''He began his on-screen career as a referee named Shane Stevens in 1990, and was the first performer to walk out to greet the audience at WrestleMania VI. Soon leaving behind the blue shirt and bow-tie, Shane McMahon took on the role of a backstage official at WrestleMania VIII in an attempt to break up a brawl between Randy Savage and Ric Flair.''

you need to cite a source for that. I would imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to cite a biography or some other reliable source. It just needs to be there so that people can tell where that information came from. I don't think it will be too much work for you, maybe just looking up page numbers in a biography or citing some reliable web page but it really improves the quality of the article. Lack of citations is the first thing that people look for when rating an article.

Have a great friday night!!!

RE: No worries
I edit Wikipedia on an iPhone the same way I would on a computer (it still retains the same WP monobook layout). It's more repetitive to edit on an iPhone (it's easier to use a mouse than to swipe and tap around the screen), but it works. It's hard for me to log into an iPhone, since my password is so long and complex (I store it within a certain e-mail message, but I don't know how to cut and paste on an iPhone). There's an application on apple.com that allows me to enter passwords easily, so I'm gonna check that out. T he  C hronic  23:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Based on "too much memory", I have two questions: how many GB is is? and, it is too full of items (songs, videos, etc.) or have you not put anything on the iPhone? I've had it for a week now, so I may be able to fix whatever's the problem. Also, BTW, my iPhone didn't come with a manual either. It is located on the Apple site . TTYL. T he   C hronic  23:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Just one more question: your iPhone is 926 GB?! 'cause I'm sure they only make iPhones up to only 8 GB (unless you mean 926 MB, or you fixed your iPhone to hold that much).  T he   C hronic  23:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: Friendly
For me, it will automatically add my signature. Why, Does it not automatically add yours? --  L A X  21:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, the template doesn't have that feature of automatically adding the signature (unless of course you fix the template to do that, in hich case it would probably be reverted). You just basically have to put the template on like   with the ~ at the end.  T he   C hronic  01:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, most of what I've done on here has been related to WikiProject:Nintendo. I am specifically interested in becoming involved in promoting articles on worthwhile topics. It seems that the Nintendo Wikiproject has become somewhat inactive, so I am thinking about joining a different, more active one that would allow me to collaborate with others on improving some group of articles that I have an interest in. I guess I just need some direction on what articles to improve and how to do it.

Question
Hey, Zenlax, I have a question for you. Today I ran into some rather elaborate vandalism. Looking at the history, it seemed that the vandal made several changes for the worse in one edit, then in several subsequent edits undid some (but not all) of the changes, I'm assuming for the purpose of hiding the rest of them in the history. Is there an easy way to restore a version of the page that you know is good, without having to undo each change one-by-one? Thanks,  Bleeding   Blue  04:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
