Hello. I'd like to give you a personal welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for the nice photo of a Minnesota State Park. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. Jonathunder 15:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting a page?

Thanks for the welcome when I joined. I noticed the page on Bobby Czyz cuts off in the middle of a sentence. Is there a place I can report those sorts of things? Or am I supposed to revert it myself?

Thanks. I fixed it. Please feel free to revert or report vandalism whenever you find it. You can let me know, or if you know the user id of the vandal, you can report the vandal at WP:AIV. Or you can revert the vandalism and report the vandal. Happy editing. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 13:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My image was removed

My Heard Museum image was removed from the article a few days ago for supposedly not having the right license tag on it. I put some licensing stuff on it, but apparently it's not the right thing. I put it back, but an somebody help before it gets removed again? Heard Museum {{helpme}} Kirs10 (talk) 19:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The licensing on that image looks fine to me. ~~You might want to ask the owner of User:OrphanBot if this was a false positive.~~ Correction: Your image was fine, but someone replaced it with File:Heard Museum Entrance.jpg which had incorrect licensing. –xeno (talk) 20:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't place my image on a page

It's been a while since I added an image. I uploaded Center_of_the_world_pyramid.jpg and tried to put it on the Felicity, California, page, but it's saying the image doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?
{{helpme}}

Hi KIrs10. If you copy the name of your image by using the copy function of your computer, rather than retyping the name, you will avoid these problems. Here, you uploaded File:Center of the world pyramid.JPG and were trying to place in the article File:Center of the world pyramid.jpg (jpg in lowercase). Any deviation from the actual name of the image will result in a failure (except that you can always use image: rather than file: without a problem). To copy something, highlight and choose copy from the edit menu of your browser, or highlight and hit cntrl + c. Pasting can be done also from the edit menu, or by hitting cntrl + v. As for how you know what exactly was the name of the image you uploaded, just look at your contributions which is accessed by hitting "my contributions" which is a link at the top of the page anywhere on Wikipedia.

Aodai

{{helpme}} I was reading the article Aodai and wanted to change the title at the top of the text, which says "Aodai" even though it's spelled as two words (ao dai) in every other occurrence throughout the article. But then I noticed there's the same article at Áo_dài. Is that just an accident, or should there be articles at both? And how do I change the title/heading at the top of the page (not in the address)?

Hi there. The reason that the two pages appear the same is because it is actually the same page. The page "Áo dài" redirects to the page "Aodai" (meaning when you click on Áo dài it automatically transports you to the page Aodai.) If you want to change the name of the article, that would require consensus from other editors involved in page. To do that, post the suggestion at the talk page for Aodai (Talk:Aodai) and wait a few days for a response. I hope this helps. If you need more help, place another helpme tag up or visit the help IRC channel irc://freenode/wikipedia-en-help. Sven Manguard _Talk 03:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm still confused. It looks like there are separate articles with no redirect at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ao_dai and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aodai. Maybe I just don't get it. But the part that really is bothering me is that the large title at the top of each page still says "Aodai" instead of "Ao dai," and I can't figure out how to change it. Please help again! Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Idea Museum logo.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Idea Museum logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
