User talk:Zwilson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
[edit] What is patent nonsense?
I suggest giving Wikipedia:Patent nonsense a read, before marking any other articles for speedy deletion. The only criteria for patent nonsense is whether the text is unredeemable jibberish. -- Netoholic @ 03:42, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC)
That was created by an anon IP. Sometimes it is more a matter of the writer not being a strong English speaker. One thing you can do to see if a "random" looking article is related to something else is to use the "What links here" link. -- Netoholic @ 04:04, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Rogue(musician).jpg
Are you certain this has been released under the GDFL? J Milburn 11:51, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Do you have a link to the copyright holder stating that it has been? Are you the copyright holder? How do you know? J Milburn 17:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- The Cruxshadows own the copyright to the image. I asked Rogue to release it under the GFDL so it could be used on Wikipedia, and he did. Zwilson 17:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, that's great. Would you mind specifying that on the image page? Thanks. J Milburn 17:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- It already says so in the file history (Promotional photo - Copyright 2006, The Crüxshadows. Released under the GFDL by The Crüxshadows.) - would you like me to add a separate note on the image page?

- So, it looks like this image got deleted. It you can please link me to a (CXS-controlled) place where they indicate it's available under GFDL, or have them call OTRS, I can restore the image. Thanks. --Eyrian 17:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Rogue-CXS.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Rogue-CXS.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 17:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
