Image:SamSeder.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SamSeder.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 17:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

at what point is a stub no longer a stub?

(copied from Wikipedia talk:Stub to alert you, probably best to respond there if needed. I am watching that page)

Well the rule of thumb on WP:STUB is "10 fairly short sentances or three paragraphs" but it warns that that is jsut a rule of thumb. In genral a stub is, IMO, an article so short as to be obviously lacking key info needed to cover the subject, so ahort that people must be exorted to expand it, and the reader cautuioned not to rely on it to include adaquete coverage. An article doesn't need to be so tagged can just have the stub tag removed -- no vote or approval is needed. I have done some stubsorting recently, mostly in book-stub, and found several articles that didn't look like stubs to me. I checked the history to see the state of the articel when the stub tag was applied. if here had been significant expansion, and the article didn't feel like a stub to me, I removed the tag. This is just my view, nothing official, of course. DES 04:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Four tildes (ZachsMind 20:02, 18 July 2005 (UTC)) produces your name and the time stamp, and five tildes (20:02, 18 July 2005 (UTC)) produces only the time stamp.[reply]

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Template

Everything's fixed now. It looks like Barista accidentally edited User:Sango123/Message, which I use as a template on talk pages by inserting this: {{User:Sango123/Message}}. Thanks for alerting me, as the accidental edit would show up on every talk page that linked to the welcome. :) Regards, Sango 123 14:35, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

P.S. To archive, you can use this: User talk:ZachsMind/Archive1. As you get more messages, you can change the number '1' accordingly.

Re: Question about uploading an image

Hmm... I tried sorting through Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, and the Promophoto tag seems promising. However, I'm not too familiar with the context of this website, so please check to see if the Promophoto tag could work (typing in {{Promophoto}} will produce the tag).
