[edit] License tagging for Image:Starblue.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Starblue.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Sorted Out

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 Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Royal Navy

I believe that I am currently the only user maintaining the Royal Navy portal, although it's really an informal role. I appreciate your help in completing the portal, and I would make one or two suggestions that might help you going forward:

1. When selecting articles for "Selected whatever," it's usually best to pick articles that have associated images. Also, you should make sure that the images are "free" - that is, either in the public domain, or liscensed under the GFDL or another free content liscense.
2. Selected article subpages are best kept simple and without subsections, infoboxes, etc. You can see what I mean at Portal:World War I/Selected event.
3. Since the "Topics" box could, in theory, be expanded almost infinitely, it's important to keep it trimmed to only really significant things. It's designed to give readers some places to go to read more, not to provide exhaustive (or even semi-exhaustive) lists of ships or battles. Obviously, this means a good deal of editorial judgement, and it can be difficult to know where to draw the line - my feeling is that about twenty or so articles in each column is probably a good starting point, but I don't insist.

Thanks for your help so far, and I hope we can continue to work together on this! Carom 18:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-vandalism

I reverted User:64.141.128.108s vandalism to Peter the I of Russia.

[edit] Portal:British Army and Portal:British Armed Forces

I am informing you that I have created a portal for the British Army. I am informing you of this because you were planning on starting a portal on the British Armed Force - and I was wondering if you wanted to help in in uniting the three British armed forces portals under one. They will all have their seperate portal but there will be an armed forces portal that hs tabs to the three portals and vice versa. If you want to help, and you want more details, tell me on my talk page. Jhfireboy Talk 20:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Promotion to Lieutenant-General on Portal:British Army

I would like to "promote" you to Lieutenant-General on Portal:British Army (effectively a lead contributor). If you would like to accept just add yourself to the list found on Portal:British Army/Things You Can Do. Jhfireboy Talk 23:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
