Question (moved from Talk:Main Page)

I kjnow this isn't the place to ask this but how to long do you have to be registered to move articles, and where is the list of registered users?Sultn 09:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• You can move articles at any time after registered, but use discretion when doing so. The list of registered users is at Special:Listusers, although other lists are maintained at Wikipedia:Wikipedians. --Blu Aardvark | ^{(talk) | (contribs)} 09:15, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:G unit ds.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:G unit ds.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Andre (talk) 17:00, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. Actually it is quite opposite to what you said. According to certain sources, converts to Islam have increased after the 9/11 attacks. That is because many people learn that Islam is not what most of the U.S media makes it out to be. Anyways, I hope to work with you in the future. --a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 13:16, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Cadillac.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cadillac.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. --OrphanBot 08:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikiethics

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 21:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
