use of images?
I was under the impression that the images in Commons are freely available, which is why I was using them in my user space. Were the images I used not from Commons or am I mistaken about what Commons is? Thank you. --Neptunerover (talk) 02:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Okay, now here ] is one that definitely says non-free boldly in various places on it's page. I don't remember noticing that on the others. Although actually, I might have just copied some of those photo links directly from an article page since I was just under the impression that everything on Misplaced Pages is free and all the pictures come out of commons. I was naive.
So can I ask you (or is there a better place for me to ask) why an advertisement for a movie such as the one I just linked to above is not considered free? They put those all over the place when the movie came out, in magazines, newspapers, and on the posters in the theaters. They put the stuff all over the place for us to look at, but we can't use it? It's not like I would draw a moustache on his face or put him in a dress, which would be defacing an original advertisement, but why can't I put the add out there too? I should think they would like that! They had to pay for that advertisement the first time around, but now they don't want anyone to look at it unless they get paid? That can't be right. --Neptunerover (talk) 08:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Welcome thanks
Thanks, Ukexpat. I hope I am doing this correctly. I currently have my first article waiting for review. Hopefully someone will look at it and give me tips if it needs fixing.
Thanks again.

Disambiguation for Hannah Tompkins
I won't clog up the WP:New contributors' help page with a small point, but hatnotes should not be used on pages that do not require disambiguation – see WP:NAMB (part of WP:Hatnote#Examples of improper use). If you think about it, there's no way a user could search for 'Hannah Tompkins' (as in the wife of Vice President Daniel Tompkins) and arrive at Hannah Tompkins (artist). So although the hatnote at Hannah Tompkins is perfectly proper, the hatnote at Hannah Tompkins (artist) should be removed. It's not a big deal, but we might as well get it right! --RexxS (talk) 02:23, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I have the following message on top of the page "This article is written like an advertisement". Can you please read the article again and tell me what changes needs to be done. I edited it in a neutral point of view.

Jason Smart
Thanks, UKExpat! I appreciate your criticisms, ideas and help in helping me to write this article about Jason Smart. I think that it is a good article, but it could use your expert analysis! Smart is an interesting character and I think that a lot of people probably would be interested in him... Especially for those of us that keep-up on US-Russian relations. Thanks!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuriipetrovich (talk • contribs) 01:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Brenda Jean Patrick
Dear Ukexpat,
Thank you for taking time to review my proposed article about Ms. Patrick.
She has spoken at the school where I am on the foundation board of directors, and we were much impressed with what she did for our school.
Please help me understand how to gain greater neutrality:
Do I need to find negative comments about Ms. Patrick or about the concept of greater customer service in schools?
Are some of the details about her life more than is needed for a Misplaced Pages article (e.g., her comments from her father)? These comments were made to the graduates at our school for "challenged" students and seemed to strike a chord with them.
Are there other aspects of "neutral" I haven't mentioned?
Thanks again.

Dear Ukexpat,
If you saw the other comments regarding this proposed article, you may have seen the one regarding using more sources (News, books, etc.)
I have followed the suggested links, and I discovered that many of them lead to newspapers in Texas (Dallas Morning News and other smaller papers). The links are there, but in order to view the full content, a reader is charged $2.95 for seeing the full article.
In the world of Misplaced Pages, is there a way of solving that problem? Would I create the link and let a reader choose whether or not to spend the money?
Right now, this seems like a pretty "sticky wicket" to get around.
Thanks.

"Vandalising", "Ok for the last time" - who the fuck do you think are? Mr Encyclopaedia?
You don't own Misplaced Pages loser, you English "twat" (hey, why don't you contribute to the meaning of that one by describing yourself ??)

Thanks again for your clean up of the posted article on Max Anderson
You've given me a lot of help, and the courage to go on and write a few more articles about things I think aren't currently covered in wikipedia. I greatly appreciate it. When I've gained some experience, I'll try to be as helpful to others:-) David Bearman (talk) 23:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)David Bearman
Getting feedback
Hi Ukexpat Thanks for the welcome. I created a new article and (I think) put out a request for someone more experienced than me to review it and check that it is 'up to scratch'. Do you know how I can check progress on that? --Wickie Bruce (talk) 09:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC) Wickie Bruce
Need help having my article reviewed
Hello,
I need some help having my article reviewed, I followed all necessary steps to add it to the "article review request" page, which it now sits, but no one has yet to review it.
The article is on a producer/director who has done much work for National Geographic.
Can you lend me any advise on how to make this article not say: "This page is a new unreviewed article." at the top?
Any advice would be appreciated!
All the best,

Michio Kaku
Please stop revering the correct information. He is American just for the fact of being born in the USA, but ethnically he is Japanese because both of his parents were 100% Japanese. If one of them was, for instance, Chinese, you could say that he is Chinese-Japanese. And considering that North America is made up of people from all over the world, it has hard to have american ethnicity, unless you are one of the ethnic peoples. Norum 20:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion?
I understand that this page is nominated for speedy deletion. However, ImaGem as a company is the ONLY diamond grading lab that can objectively grade diamonds and give numerical measurements for diamond Light Behavior. The chairman and founder of the company created the technology in 1989 and is the first and only to use machines to grade diamonds! This is why I feel this is notable, and the technology has a lot of other uses, such as the clarity mapping machine that can enter the medical industry to assist cancer research. Please give me more time to reorganize, if the whole thing needs to be RE-DONE I am ok with that, but I WILL keep trying until I get it right. Even if that means you delete my page and I have to start over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grader222 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

new article for review
I wrote a couple articles on topics I thought were not covered. One, on electronic records, I just moved to live. The other on museum informatics is still at my user page (http://en.wikipedia.org/User:David_Bearman/museum_informatics) because I'm not as sure about it. I'd appreciate your reviewing either or both. Thanks David Bearman (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)David Bearman Jan 16 2010David Bearman (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I am totally facinated by this initial wiki posting experience. That may not come across in my response to your feedback on my first article. I just kicked that page off to the historian that should have probably written it. That aside, will there be others that provide feedback or you the difinitive expert? If so, I am sincere in my gratitude, because I need your help and because I respect the time you have taken to provide the feedback. I've started a talk page for this article and hope for more techinical advice. The writing style can't be helped. Keenonit (talk) 03:45, 18 January 2010 (UTC) keenonit (mla) 1/17/2007

Giulio graglia
You nominaged Giulio graglia for deletion under WP:CSD#A2. This category only covers articles that actually exist in another language's Wiki. If the article doesn't exist on another wiki, then it is not eligible for deletion under this criterion. WikiDan61ReadMe!! 17:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. I was coming here to say the same thing - A2 is only for use where the identical article exists on another Misplaced Pages, and this one is not in :it. (The point of A2, which took me some time to find out, is that a cut and paste from another WP violates the license terms by losing the attribution from all the contributors there - WP:TRANSLATE explains how to bring an article across properly). The thing to do with an article in another language is put {{notenglish}} at the top, or {{notenglish|Italian}} etc if you can identify the language, and follow the links on that template to list it at WP:PNT. Of course it may be obvious, as in this case, that the article is speediable db-person; in that case just tag it as such. If you specify the language in the {{notenglish}} template, it provides a helpful link to Google Translate, whose results are surprisingly good and often enable you to confirm that the article is speediable, in which case add the db tag at the top and don't bother with WP:PNT. There is a useful set of templates at WP:PNT/T which you can use to point the foreign author to his own-language WP - I think many people are unaware that there are any others. Apologies if all this is telling you stuff you already knew. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
