User talk:Theopticist

Welcome!

Hello, Theopticist, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Theopticist/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! The Mirror Cracked (talk) 02:17, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Theopticist/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Theopticist/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.kyscience.org/friday_film_screening.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.

reincarnation?

Hi, Theopticist! Are you the same person, who contributed in July 2014 to the article on "pinhole camera"? Or did you pick this user-name by chance? I'd like to rework the paragraphs on Young, if possible together with the original author. Regards Lei-Fidelity (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Theopticist! Great to hear that you are still existing and contributing to wp! I'm user in the wiki-world of Germany, the de/wikipedia. That's possibly the reason why you can't find my user page. But - somehow - I did receive your message. Thank you! I will reply to you regarding the article on the pinhole camera talk page directly. Kind regards from the old continent Lei-Fidelity (talk) 11:12, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
