Welcome!

Hello, LSUsoccerbum, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few 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 need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Chad koppes may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Karmafist 22:35, 9 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:PortEads1920.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:PortEads1920.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 01:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

LSUoverUSC Argument edit

An article you started, LSUoverUSC Argument, has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this was more of an essay than an encyclopedia article. Please see WP:NOT for the relevant guidelines. If you can edit the article to be more encyclopedic, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the {{prod}} template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If the tag is removed without the article being improved, the article may face deletion through debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Please consider helping Wikipedia out by improving our existing articles. Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit lists articles which have grammar problems. NickelShoe 15:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

BCS article edit

Please don't cut-and-paste material from your soon-to-be-deleted article LSUoverUSC Argument into the BCS page. Further such edits will be treated as vandalism. What is currently in the LSU/USC Controversy section is sufficient, and anything more will detract from the clarity of the page. We are aiming for concision here, not meandering tangents and links to your own website. Raggaga 17:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your pix edit

Hi there, neighbor across the Parish Line. Did you ride out Katrina in Metairie? Do you have any other original pix of the early aftermath you'd be willing to share? Cheers, -- Infrogmation 00:36, 9 April 2006 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Spiritual Theology.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Spiritual Theology.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

NowCommons: Image:PortEads.jpg edit

Image:PortEads.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:PortEadsHarpers1884.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:PortEadsHarpers1884.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 18:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:65footballchamps.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:65footballchamps.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.90.75.169 (talk) 02:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
