[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Succession boxes
Hey.... thanks for getting all those UK #1 succession boxes. If you do any in the future can you please make sure to combine boxes if one is already in the article (for a different country)? Sometimes the song title lengths make the boxes have different widths and it looks kinda sloppy that way, so if you combine them its all forced into one uniform width. You can easily do it by removing the "end box" text from the top one and the "start box" text from the one underneath it. I corrected a bunch that you did already, you can check out those articles if you're not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance! -- eo 21:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- ha, yeah tell me about it, I did most of the boxes for the U.S. by the way what are you doing about songs that dropped out then returned to #1? I wasn't sure what to do with those but then I figured for the sake of less clutter I'd format them as if they were just pages in a book, flowing from one song to the next chronologically without regard to those tricky ones. -- eo 00:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't know, fortunately there aren't too many of them, probably a handful or so. [[Yorkshiresky 16:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)]]
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Charlesjonesroses.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlesjonesroses.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Metop.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Metop.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Sherool (talk) 07:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Associates.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Associates.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Brian Eno template
Hi, Y. Thanks for adding the template to Eno's albums. Two albums actually have articles, but they're not hyperlinked in the template:

Any ideas on how they could be "activated" in the template? I don't want to mess things up by trying to sort it myself. Thanks.

[edit] Little context in Leonard Zelig
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Leonard Zelig, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Leonard Zelig is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Leonard Zelig, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

Hi Yorkshiresky!
We thank you for uploading Image:Syracuse war cemetery.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.
