Welcome to my Talk Page! Feel free to discuss what ever you like on this page. Even if it is irrelevant!...

3RR violation

For the fourth time within within 24 hours, you have re-inserted your PG-13 edit in the Spider-Man 3. As such, you violated the 3 Revert Rule (Wikipedia:Three-revert rule), which is standard Wikipedia policy. Since you're a new user who probably wasn't aware of this rule, I won't report it this time. I do advise you to read up on Wikipedia policy though.

Please stop edit warring in the future, especially over such clearly trivial matters, it will only get you blocked from editing. If you really think your PG-13 edit has to be in the article, then discuss it in the talk page. That's how things are done here.--Atlan 21:26, 25 April 2007

Spider-Man 3

Please stop readding the same section. THe original one wasn't removed, it was placed at the bottom of the talk page, where it was supposed to go. If you wish to respond, then actually respond to where the discussion.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Dude... can you please remove the rating information? It's clearly biased toward the United States to have that information, when all the release information, especially at this point, is taking place from overseas. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 22:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for removing it. I know you were trying to help, and I appreciate it. It just doesn't seem that ratings are a big deal in the scheme of things unless there's something controversial about them. Hope you get to see the film soon! —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 22:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the ratings are worth reporting. Some editors believe in listing them, some don't (and you can guess where I fall). I just think that listing all countries' ratings is not very encyclopedic. Who knows, maybe a rating in a country will be considered too light for the violence in the film, which will stir controversy in the media, and that can be reported. But I don't think an entire list would really fit in the article. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 22:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for being pleasant about this! I have to say it's really tempting to look at the Plot section, especially when working on the Release section for the article. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for any notable rating information that may come up. Happy editing! —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 23:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Your user page

I noticed on your user page you have the full names of your parents and other family members for all to see. Do you think that's wise, given the times we live in, cyber-stalking, etc.? Just curious.  Veracious Rey  talk  14:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

People have brought that up to be before. I did consider deleting that section, and am still considering it, even though I have permission from my family though. Thank you for your concern...-  GTAGeek123  talk  20:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. If you're still considering it, my vote is to go ahead and do it. Nobody needs to know who your family is anyway (just my opinion... take it or leave it). Unfortunately, we live in crazy times my friend. Better safe than sorry. Nuff said.  Veracious Rey  talk  04:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Amen!-GTAGeek123 22:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Scary_Movie_6

Hello again. I noticed you have voted twice in the AfD for Scary Movie 6 (one keep and one delete). It's ok if you change your opinion, but please strike through your first vote, so people can see you changed your mind. Don't delete it, because it takes later comments out of context, just strike it. Thanks.--Atlan (talk) 21:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Officiallogoofcelebration4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Officiallogoofcelebration4.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

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. 00:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Mew7ginger2006.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Mew7ginger2006.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mschel 02:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Celebration IV

A tag has been placed on Celebration IV, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I hate to be "the bad guy" again, but you just can't promote an event like that here.--Atlan (talk) 11:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Signature

I don't know what you did with your signature, but it always gives the time as 20:21 UTC. Just look at all your posts. Maybe you could take a look at that. It can be confusing, especially in discussions.--Atlan (talk) 11:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, my bad. I didnt notice. Ill try to figure out whats wrong. -GTAGeek123 21:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Uploading pics

I noticed you uploaded some photos of yourself. Please be aware that if you want to keep them here, you have to agree that those pics are freely distributable. Whether you want to allow photos with yourself in it to be freely used be anyone is up to you, of course. I just thought you should know. Here's the standard help message for uploading images:

Advice on uploading images

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

• Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

• Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

• Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

• Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Image copyright problem with Image:MEINMYROOM7884_jg.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:MEINMYROOM7884_jg.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. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 18:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
