== Re: Help desk question ==

You asked if ] could be protected. The short answer is no. If you look at the ], you will see that pages should only be protected if there's a problem with not protecting them. Most people don't know that your sandbox exists, so it's not a problem.

Nobody has vandalized your sandbox, and probably nobody will. As an additional safeguard, you can write at the top of your page that any visitors should please not edit the sandbox because it's for your personal use. That will avoid the problem of users who might think, "Hey, it's just a sandbox, what the heck. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOP." :) ] (] • ]) 21:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:JackyTar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JackyTar.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 05:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to your question at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions#Personal portrait photo. --MECU≈talk 02:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:VelocityRunning(2).png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:VelocityRunning(2).png, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. 293.xx.xxx.xx 09:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC) — 293.xx.xxx.xx 09:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Wrong License. Since your using a copyrighted character, copyright still is held by the creator or owner, which is Top Cow Comics. --293.xx.xxx.xx 07:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:WikiScreenshot.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:WikiScreenshot.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 21:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Category:Psuedoreligionist Wikipedians

As you may already be aware, Category:Psuedoreligionist Wikipedians and its subcategories, Category:Discordian Wikipedians, Category:Flying Spaghetti Monsterist Wikipedians, Category:SubGenius Wikipedians, and others, have been deleted. That deletion is now up for review. If you have anything you'd like to say on the subject, now is the time. If you know of any other editors who might have something to say on the subject, pass the word. If, on the other hand, you are not interested in the slightest, feel free to delete this.   — Bigwyrm watch me 10:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 02:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Yo, Uilliam!

Life is good. Yes, we'll be at 12th Night, eh? Good to hear from you. Whatcha been up to lately? Mainly what I do here is play Whac-a-mole with the vandals...and I already gave that last complainer what for (what five, even) on his talk page. --Finngall 08:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

No need to ask permission when dealing with such obvious vandalism--Be bold!  :-) --Finngall 14:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Help desk question

You asked if User:Jackytar/Jacky Tar's Sandbox could be protected. The short answer is no. If you look at the protection policy, you will see that pages should only be protected if there's a problem with not protecting them. Most people don't know that your sandbox exists, so it's not a problem.

Nobody has vandalized your sandbox, and probably nobody will. As an additional safeguard, you can write at the top of your page that any visitors should please not edit the sandbox because it's for your personal use. That will avoid the problem of users who might think, "Hey, it's just a sandbox, what the heck. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOP." :) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 21:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
