On editing Help pages

Hello! I’ve noticed you seem to feel that the page Help:Wiki markup is missing some information. That’s great, but on instructional help pages like that one, instead of being WP:bold and simply adding new information yourself (which is encouraged in many other cases), it’s usually best to first seek consensus on the corresponding Talk page, just in case people disagree. This is especially true if similar additions have already been reverted.

I’ve tried to explain on that Talk page why your additions to the page don’t seem appropriate, but if I’m wrong, hopefully other editors will chime in there and correct me. But if anything in either that explanation or this one is unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask me to clarify. Thank you, and happy editing. —Frungi (talk) 22:18, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

No fair use images on user page

You use File:Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.jpg in a userbox. This is against WP:UP#NOTSUITED. See also Misplaced Pages:Userboxes#Caution about image use. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:27, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

The thing is, I want to submit three brand new userboxes. I understand your concern and Misplaced Pages's policy, but I only want excellence in the new userboxes.QM400032 (talk) 12:52, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Userboxes#Caution about image use says: "fair use images are explicitly forbidden. This is interpreted strictly and without exception." This is a legal matter. We cannot violate copyright just because we want a prettier userbox. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

If this is a real problem, please tell me how I can resolve it.71.145.130.39 (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

By removing it. You seem reluctant to do the required so I have done it for you. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:36, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Taos Ski Valley Entrance.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Taos Ski Valley Entrance.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 13:18, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know how to resolve fair use copyright violation! Could you please show me how?71.145.130.39 (talk) 23:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me!

If you like communicating through IRC, feel free to ask questions at #wikipedia-en-roads as well. Here, there are several editors who are willing to answer your questions. For more information, see WP:HWY/IRC.

Again, welcome! Rschen7754 11:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Signature

Your signature doesn't include any links. You might want to add them, since it is a convenient way for people to access your user and user talk pages. —Scott5114↗ 22:14, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Please read WP:SIGN#Internal_links carefully. Your signature does not provide any links to this page or your userpage. –Fredddie™ 05:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

QM400032, this really is kind of a big deal. People need to be able to get ahold of you from your Talk page comments. If you simply made a mistake, then please see Help:How to fix your signature; but if this problem remains unaddressed, I’m going to bring it up with admins at WP:ANI. —Frungi (talk) 01:37, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ontario Highway 17 may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 23:01, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I'll get to it as soon as possible. QM400032 (talk) 23:06, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Articles for creation

I noticed you reviewed and accepted two submissions in Articles for creation. Accepting an article is more than just moving it, there is also some post-move cleanup to do. These steps are described at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions.

Reviewing articles is a task that is best done by experienced editors. I notice that your contributions only started earlier this month. I recommend you avoid reviewing articles until you gain more experience. Wait until you have made at least a few hundred substantial edits spread out over several months and over many types of articles, then read the then-current reviewing instructions and other materials available at WP:WikiProject Articles for creation. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

FYI, I moved both of them back to AFC and declined one as a duplicate. Another experienced reviewer will take a look at the second submission. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
