Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to James Blunt. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please Use Edit Summaries

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. Squirepants101 15:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of User:Jakerl

A tag has been placed on User:Jakerl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

It is a copy of User:Patricknoddy#Userboxes, and is vandalism.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:User:Jakerl|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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 20:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About your user page

Patricknoddy (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) complained that you copied a part of his userpage, and thought that it was vandalism. However, the GFDL permits you to do this, if and only if you credit the five principal authors (or fewer, if there have not been that many authors yet) of a GFDL-licensed file, and if you relicense your work under the GFDL. Otherwise, you have committed copyright violation by breaching the GFDL. I have therefore reverted your user page. Feel free to revert it back, but credit Patricknoddy when you revert it back. Please see Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License before attempting to copy anything else from Wikipedia. Jesse Viviano 21:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, please ask me for permission first. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 18:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Qxz Ads

Can you put the ads on other wikis?--Jakerl 02:21, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Provided you comply with the licensing terms of the individual ads (which vary from one ad to another, due to their use of various images under different licenses), there's not a lot I can do to stop you; credit would be appreciated but is not mandatory. To upload an ad to another wiki, save it to your computer and then upload it via that wiki's upload page. If you were intending to upload to a Wikimedia wiki, please upload it to the Wikimedia Commons (you'll need to create an account there first) instead, as this allows them to be used by all Wikimedia wikis. Wherever you put them, please make sure that you preserve the summary and licensing information – everything I've done is in the public domain, but where I've used other images this is a required for copyright reasons.

Also, please bear in mind that almost all of the ads are very much specific to the English Wikipedia, as they refer to WikiProjects and processes that only exist here. Thanks – Gurch 19:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
