To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset

Nice photo; from which vantage point was it taken? It looks like the view from in front of the town hall, but my memory is fuzzy. —No-One Jones 18:39, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. —No-One Jones 19:10, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The International Eisteddfod isn't "another" Eisteddfod. It's undoubtedly the most famous one. Do you have any valid reasons to doubt that? Or is this an example of mindless NPOVing? Varitek 08:26, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

When I talk about "the Eisteddfod", I mean the Urdd Eisteddfod, not the National. However, Wikipedia is an international resource. In the context of the world, the National is all but unknown, whereas the International has a worldwide recognition as a premier folk arts gathering, drawing competitors and visitors from many, many countries. (No need to teach me to suck eggs, either. I've lived in Wales most of my life, and have competed in and attended several Eisteddfodau) Varitek 19:41, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Bildbeschreibung/Copyrightdaten

Hallo,
prima, daß Du in de ein Foto von mir gefunden hast und hier in Rothenburg ob der Tauber verwendest. Leider hast Du die notwendigen Quellen/Copyrightinfos aus meiner Bildbeschreibungsseite vergessen. Ich habe sie gerade ergänzt. ;-)
P.S.: Hab gesehen, daß Du auch andere Bilder ohne Quellenangabe hochgeladen hast. Ohne Quellenangabe (=Fotograf bei Fotos) könnte das als URV angesehen werden und ohne Lizenz-Tag hat die Wikipedia bei der Verwendung von Bildern Probleme. Kannst Du das evtl. nachholen? -- Gruß Brego/217.247.8.61 21:00, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

revert

The rollback command does not allow an explanation to be added in for a reversion. I explained to the new user on their page what the problem is. Putting in venerable, etc in the list box at the bottom of the page can cause technical problems, if the name then used is too long. The list is of popes, so should just name popes. Venerable etc can and is put in the body of the article. FearÉIREANN^(talk) 03:08, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Environmentalism

Did you move a page called Environmentalism or such like to Environmental movement in the United States? Alan Liefting 22:05, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Environmentalism was a page about the international Environmental movement but with a strong US bias. I have requested that it is to be moved back. A new page on the environmental movement in the US can then be created. The move hase also created a large list of redirected pages. Alan Liefting 23:31, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am of the opinion that both the Environmentalism page and the Environmental movement page are both worthy of being kept. Instead of moving the whole Environmentalism page to Environmental movement in the United States I would have liked to have seen a new page created for the US information. In that way all the page history and "What links here" does not need changing. Alan Liefting 04:12, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

languages in india

dear eraunch, Sorry for the delay. My entry in wikipedia on Indian languages is based on the following reports: Since it is a statement in Parliament, i hope it is true (unless there is difference of opinion on what a 'language' is ?) Statement: "There are 3,372 languages in India but only 216 are spoken by a group of 10,000 persons or more."

Images without source/copyright info

Hi. You uploaded the following images but did not list any source and/or copyright information on the image description pages.

Please provide source information and mark them either as GFDL or public domain. See Image copyright tags for more info. If the image was uploaded in error or cannot be licensed for use on Wikipedia, please add it to images for deletion. Please note that images without source and copyright information may be deleted in the future. Thanks. RedWolf 22:17, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted you to know that images without sources can now be deleted on sight. So, if you have not provided sources for these, they will probably soon be gone. Good luck. JesseW, the juggling janitor 09:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Polyculture in the Brazilian drylands.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Polyculture in the Brazilian drylands.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Pak21 11:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Indonesia home garden.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Indonesia home garden.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 12:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've updated the copyright for the above mentioned image, please take a look and make sure it is appropriate. Thanks! --Jcgarcow 15:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Erauch! 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 711 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Pierre Carniti - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Johann Baptist Metz - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Source for "Annual hours" table

Back on 10 June 2005, you added an extremely helpful table to Working time, citing an unnamed compilation by Juliet B. Schor of "various sources". Unfortunately, this is not a useful citation, as it doesn't say where or when this compilation was published, and therefore cannot be verified. If you have this information, please add it to the article, or at least mention this in the discussion I created to address this problem, Talk:Working time/Archives/2012#Source for "Annual hours" table. Or let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Town Hall Square Rothenburg.jpg
