[edit]Stop editing other messages as you are doing here, here, here and here. This is a violation of policy. Thanks, CWii(Talk|Contribs) 14:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would think that:
- The messages are on my own talk page,
- The messages edited were created by bots,
- The titles sum up each message.
- CompuHacker (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Even so, you shouldn't edit others' messages. If it's a violation of Wikipedia policy, it's a violation, no matter which way you look at it. --GSK (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia guidelines concerning this discussion are as follows
- "On your own user talk page, you may remove others' comments, although archiving is generally preferred."
- As a matter of semantics, I removed the comments and not the signatures. Also stated in an above section is
- "As a rule, do not edit others' comments, including signatures. Exceptions are described in the next section."
- I believe that ignoring this rule in this instance is improving Wikipedia. I still maintain that the titles adequately explain what was "discussed" (I never responded) in each section. That is all I have to say right now, enjoy your afternoon.

Really stop. You're not improving it at all. You're making it harder by making users have to look through your history for the messages. And no, not all the messages were from bots. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 12:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- All the messages that were edited are best summed up by their title. Having simply the title should be enough information for any casual reader, and if you really want to read a computer generated readout about something that happened half a year ago, then you can fall back on the history of this page. Three of the four messages were made by bots, something I overlooked before. However, the titles fully convey the message in a single sentence normally conveyed by that and a paragraph AND the title of each section is linked to a long and tedious paragraph that I am sure you, GSK, and everyone else on Wikipedia has read a thousand times before. I really don't want to see it needlessly cluttering the page when the current version will suffice. CompuHacker (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Resolvedre: xkcd revert
[edit]The reason there is mouseover text in the lower image is because it is a thumb in the main text and not in the infobox; as far as I know, image captions in thumbs are automatically used as mouseover text, whereas in an infobox the image, image caption, and mouseover text are all given as separate fields. In other words, no user purposely put mouseover text in the "Wikipedian Protester" image, it just shows up because the user gave a caption. If you want to put mouseover text on the infobox image, that's ok, but the mouseover text should either be the same as the image caption ('Panel from "Philosophy"') or should specifically attribute the mouseover text to Munroe (i.e., "The mouseover text for this comic was...."). Personally, I don't see any encyclopaedic value in adding mouseover text for that image; the purpose of the article is to inform readers about xkcd, not to replicate xkcd. That's just my two cents. —Politizer( talk • contribs ) 01:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Resolved
Thanks for uploading File:Osmos4.PNG. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 08:29, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
non-free rational on free image
[edit] ResolvedYou recently uploaded File:Neko_animated.gif tagged with a nonfree rational and a free license, if you have done this because the upload form added it automatically and you don't believe that the screenshot is non-free then read below.
License for images
[edit]When I uploaded the File:Acid3detailSafari4.png and File:Acid3detailMidori0.1.9.png the form asked me if I got that shot from a GPL program, and so the screenshot file is GPL too. I choosed that option uploading the file. I do not understand what I had to write more and in which field of images file, to prevent deleting. Can you help me? Thanks --Efa (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The files have a free license and a non-free rational.You can't be free and non-free at the same time.Why did you use the non-free rational template, was your intention to uses something like this {{information}} or did you believe that all files need a rational?Btw possible unfree file is not a deletion discution.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I never chosed the templete, I followed the guided steps, and the template was chosed automatically.
I describe the procedure I used for upload, so you can explain where is the error:
- clicked to left menu, Upload file, point to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload
- Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source" because the file is a screenshot of a computer program. Point to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-screenshot&wpUploadDescription={{Non-free use rationale%0A+|Article+++++++++++=+%0A+|Description+++++++=+%0A+|Source++++++++++++=+%0A+|Portion+++++++++++=+%0A+|Low_resolution++++=+%0A+|Purpose+++++++++++=+%0A+|Replaceability++++=+%0A+|other_information+=+%0A}}
- filled the fields, leaving empty the fields not needed, as say here "If you are uploading a screenshot which is not copyrighted (such as freely-licensed software), you do not need to include a fair use rationale."--Efa (talk) 10:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm got to talk to someone about that form, ok so here is how things stand only use non-free rational if you are uploading a unfree image ex:screenshot of copyrighted program etc. or image with unfree elements like screenshot of internet explorer (fairuse rational for iexplorer) viewing wikipedia (free wikipedia web page screenshot).The reason it ads a Non-free use rationale by default its because 99% of screenshots uploaded are unfree. So if you want to upload a 100% free image to wikipedia and the standard options give you ex:<Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"> produse a rational by default try the Entirely my own work option. Or better yet if the image is 100% free, upload direct to commons. We are currently in the process of moving all free images to commons and your files will get moved ther eventually anyway.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I hope that more than 1% of the software is uncopyrighted ;-) In any case I'm not using Wiki Commons, because my account has different username there, and my user is busy, so I cannot unify them I also hope that, but we systematically moved and are moving to commons free screen shots and other free stuff so it will get there .Eventually there will bee 1% free stuff on en wikipedia the rest of the 99% free will be on commons.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC) --Efa (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media.

This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Into-the-wild-green-yonder-audience.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Elisfkc (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

The file File:Wificropped.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
not pd, per c:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Noticeboards_and_signs
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 08:42, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Temu flag fixes
[edit]Hi, I have just posted Talk:Temu (company)#Request for more clean up and removing flag to ask for fixes to the page about Temu (company) that should address the final issues raised in a flag for the page. I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Temu. I want to follow the correct process for COI users. Since you are a member of the WikiProject for Internet Culture, which is relevant to the page, I thought you possibly be interested in reviewing the proposal. Temu’s app has been the most downloaded phone app in the United States in recent months. Thanks in advance for your consideration! Snowy2000 (talk) 03:08, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
