Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. There is a sandbox which you can use to experiment in. If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 18:59, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering why you created the National chess champions page with just one link in it. It is currently listed for deletion. If you intend to expand it beyond just a link , please say so on the deletions page. Thanks. Angela 18:03, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)


Gracias por tu contribución a mathematical beauty. -- Miguel


Hi - I've moved national chess champions to list of national chess championships (which seems a slightly better title), and said I'm against deleting it on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. I think it will most likely be kept. All the best--Camembert


Unverified images

edit

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 05:40, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Tagging other people's images

edit

Hi, I noticed today that you've been tagging other people's images as GFDL, when in fact they have never been released under the GFDL. Could you please explain why you are doing this? If I chose today to license Image:Snowman-and-me.jpg as PD, despite the delay between uploading it and tagging it with a license, I would be slightly disappointed to find that some third party had already apparently licensed it under the GFDL without my knowledge or consent. Some other examples are [1] [2] [3]. What do you plan to do about this? silsor 02:30, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

... just because in the page about Untagged Images there is this statement: "If it is obvious from comments or a copyright statement that the uploader owns the copyright to an image, then by virtue of them having uploaded it to the Wikipedia, you can assume it is GFDL. (Obviously this does not apply if the uploader does not own the copyright, nor does this apply in situations in which it is not clear that the uploader owns the copyright.)"
Of course, the person who uploaded the image is who better knows about the right tag, so if they are going to tag it it would be nice. Sorry if we edited it at the same time.
No, it is not okay to assume that they want to license it under the GFDL. You don't have the authority to make any licensing decisions for people, and people do license images that they own under other licenses than the GFDL. Please don't do this. silsor 04:52, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
If you are right, then the project guidelines at Wikipedia:Untagged Images are wrong. Please let them know to stop other people doing the same mistakes I did. Jmartinezot 12:30, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)


Why did you blank this page? Mgm|(talk) 10:50, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

  • Nevermind, I guess I spoke too soon... Mgm|(talk) 10:51, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please note that headings are done using special coding (see article). Mgm|(talk) 11:05, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, what headings? Jmartinezot 11:15, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • You wrote '''History''', while the preferred format is ==History==. Mgm|(talk) 11:15, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • I did a cut&paste of the former article under Ibarra, so I really have not edited anything of Ibarra, Ecuador. Jmartinezot 11:20, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • Anyway, thanks for the point. Jmartinezot 11:20, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Useful stub template

edit

Hi - I noticed you've been working on quite a number of Spanish geography articles - I thought you might find it useful to know that there is a special stub marker to use in place of "geo-stub" for Spanish geography stubs: {{Spain-geo-stub}}. It puts the articles in a special subcategory within the Geography of Spain category, to make it easier to find them. Keep up the good wiki work! Grutness|hello?   23:49, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Whoops - not sure why that got posted twice - sorry... and happy Tamborrada! Grutness|hello?   04:07, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, Grutness! Jmartinezot 10:15, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Average rule

edit

I'm thinking of nominating Average rule for deletion on the grounds that it is a neologism and original research. This article has existed since August 2004 without anyone questioning it or proposing it for deletion. Do you think it's legitimate? Do you know of any reasons I shouldn't nominate it for deletion? Dpbsmith (talk) 15:34, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • I edited that article just to remove a blank before a comma, so I will agree with the final decision about deletion or not. Jmartinezot 14:04, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Return of the Untagged Image project

edit

You were kind enough to contribute to the Wikipedia:Untagged images project; I beg to draw your attention to part 2 of the project - there are about 12,000 more images in need of tagging. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Jmartinezot! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 697 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

  1. Manuel Leguineche - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL
