[edit] Linking to categories
Hiya! Hope you're finding your way around Wikipedia! :D
I just dropped you a line to let you know that when you link to a category (like, type [[Category:Editor handbook]] like on your userpage, it not only links you to the category, but it puts your page into that category! ... really!
Don't worry, I corrected it for you! In the future, if you want to simply link to a category (like Editor handbook) just prefix the name of the category with a colon, like this: [[:Category:Editor handbook]] which results in a link that looks like this: Category:Editor handbook. Hope that helps, and if you run into any questions, please feel free to contact me!

- Whoops, sorry about that. Thanks for fixing it.
[edit] DE9 and 25 pin connectors
Hello,
I am planning to manually convert your very informative DE9 and 25 pin images to SVG and then add them to the RS232 article. However, can I suggest that you take a look at Inkscape, Xara extreme or similar, which will allow you to write to SVG. A vector graphics editor without SVG support is kinda useless on wiki (and to some extent at large), and just means more work to convert it to a good format.
Looking forward to more nice SVGs from yourself! Regards User A1 (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well mayboe not the 25 pin version - someone already did that. User A1 (talk) 01:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python).jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python).jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 08:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding a rationale. You may like to take a look at WP:FURG to see all the info that a rationale is expected to contain, though. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 08:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
