Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Vera26! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 10:41, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism by 216.9.250.6

edit

Hi Vera26, thanks for your note, I blocked the IP once again. As a proxy used by so many Blackberry users, I'm afraid that bad faith edits are inevitable. I don't know for sure how many people are affected by blocks, but I know it's a lot. I made sure that the block affects only the IP address and anyone who has a problem with the short block I issued should contact RIM's abuse department. If enough people are affected, and start complaining, maybe RIM will do something. --Deathphoenix ʕ 13:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

RIAA

edit

My understanding is that certifications are based on shipments, not actual sales; however, I don't believe A Public Affair has been certified, and I don't see it listed under her certifications on RIAA.com (they may be behind in updating the database, if it happened recently).

Koji Seto Article

edit

Hi Vera,

I changed Koji Setos article back, because, it´s allowed to write down major and actual works of actors (see profile Sandra Bullock as example), since the head is described as an "introduction than can stand alone". Also, "Best known works" are most of the time a matter of opinion and works that help to describe an artist shouldn´t be limited. Then, I took out Natsudoko again, because he was not a particapant there last Summer, only a Guest Star for 2 days, so that DVD shouldn´t belong to his official DVDs since there are merely 2 minutes of him in the footage. Also, using paragraphs helps to make the layout cleaner and a lot easier to read.

Hi Vera,

his parts in the named TV Series are important, as stated in his japanese Wikipedia Article. These shows are choosen, because they were Golden Time (Primetime) Shows and in general important just for that. Otherwise would his part in Rocket Boys have been his first big part, not as Kikumaru, after your argumentation. I don´t see a problem with listing MAJOR Works of an artist, that´s why I will keep his major works so far in his head and add "Tumbling" later too. Also, yes, Koizora, Atanshini no Danshi, and even Otomen were shows that had/reached a broader audience (and more fans) than a stage play like Tenimyu and a Tokusatsu show like Kamen Rider, again because they are Primetime Series and his parts in there were main parts. I made the change to his family name. And the use of paragraphs isn´t out of the Wikipedia guidelines. It´s okay to use them, but for now I can change it.

Replaceable fair use File:Type_C.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Type_C.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Non-free use disputed for File:Ualbum.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Ualbum.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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:Non-free 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 11:00, 22 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:PrinceofTennisFilmOST.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PrinceofTennisFilmOST.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 11:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

An article you recently created, Hiroki Aiba, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.
