Welcome! edit

 
Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.  

Welcome to Wikipedia, WOS2014! I am Fetchcomms and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time. I just wanted to say "Hi!" and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some important pages that you might find helpful:

But don't forget to:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh, and when you post on talk pages you should always sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post (AKA your signature). If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, visit the help chat, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!  fetchcomms 02:20, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Possibly unfree File:WestOrangeCoveMascot.jpg edit

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:WestOrangeCoveMascot.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --MGA73 (talk) 21:40, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:WestOrangeCoveWikipediaLogo.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:WestOrangeCoveWikipediaLogo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Help with file edit

I've moved this to the end of your page; please always add new sections at the end of pages.  Chzz  ►  19:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme}} Hey fetchcomms, you Welcomed me a few months back. How are you? I'm here because I have a question. I uploaded a logo I made, which incorporated one single aspect that I did NOT make, but WAS released in to public domain. The first time I published it, it IMMEADIATELY got removed (by a rather rude admin.) They claimed it was "clearly copyrighted material." So what should I do? reupload it as Public Domain material? Thanks for your help, and the "fruit basket!" :)

Discussing this now via live help (IRC)  Chzz  ►  18:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Right, so; further to our discussions;
  • Although the file is used on various websites, we did not (at this time) find appropriate confirmation that it is in the public domain - and that is what is needed.
  • If you find such evidence, you can add that to the file, and explain it in the deletion discussion, and all should be OK.
  • If the file is deleted but you later find evidence of PD status, then please ask for further help
I have also noted this in the deletion discussion, which is in Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 September 4#File:WOCCISD.jpg. Best,  Chzz  ►  19:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh, just one more note: you put {{helpme}} but you addressed Fetchcomms. When you use {{helpme}}, you will get help from any available person. If you want to contact a specific person, you should do so on their own user talk page. For Fetchcomms, for example, that is User talk:Fetchcomms - you'd leave him a note there. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  19:16, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think Chzz answered your question. You linked to the PD source at the image discussion, so people will comment there. fetch·comms 22:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

(Moved this over from my own talk page, to keep this discussion in one place  Chzz  ►  17:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC))Reply

  • Again, thank you for your help earlier. I have gladly found a source which deems it PD. Granted, the website looks like it was made by a 2-year-old, but it CLEARLY features a mustang which appears to be the same as the one I am using. It also claims, at the bottom, that they are in PD, and were retrieved from PD.

When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.
I would think that that link is just-about enough for us to consider it PD. I will mention my opinion in the discussion, which will be open for other comments for about a week, and then we can decide if the consensus is to keep or delete.
Hope that all makes sense; please do ask for clarification or any other questions. Best,  Chzz  ►  13:59, 5 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

September 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

  1. You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
  2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is West Orange-Stark High School. Thank you.

Your attention needed at WP:CHU edit

Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 03:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notification of automated file description generation edit

Your upload of File:CarlGodwinAuditorium.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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.
