License tagging for Image:Church Nagykovacsi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Church Nagykovacsi.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:

Yo

Why did you make Justine Waddell a freatured article?

Quite by accident

John Le Carré: "protesting at"

I don't want to get into a prolonged edit war about this, but it seems that "protesting the war" is a much more common usage than "protesting at the war," recent CNN-speak or no. "Protesting against the war" is somewhere in the middle; would you agree on that instead? Brainslug 22:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protesting and prepositions

Some time ago I asked some colleagues who are American (I'm English) about what I took to be a neologism I'd heard on CNN viz. 'protest' used without prepositions. They shook their heads in their usual affable way and said that in the USA 'protest' could be used with or without and that it was 'no big deal'.

In England 'protest' is ALWAYS (caps for emphasis not for 'shouting') used with a preposition or prepositional phrase except where it means 'claim' as in 'protest innocence' or 'protest their not being informed'. Besides, adding a preposition (as WE always do) when we use 'protest' as a rough synonym for 'demonstrate' does inevitably bring useful clarity. If you take for example, 'The demonstrators protested their country's involvement in the treaty'; just which side were they on?

'Protesting against the war' is a very good idea. (And I think I mean that in both senses).

Regards

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Linum-dolomiticum.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.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
