Image source problem with Image:Seamonkey 1.1.2.png

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Seamonkey 1.1.2.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 12:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I've added Template:Information to it, so that the bot is pleased, if I understand it correctly.
Thanks for replacing them!
Though, as you see, it's better to avoid Wikimedia logos as well, or the images are only free for Wikimedia… Of course, the SeaMonkey logo is also trademarked (I am not sure what something I’ve read meant by “but there is a version of the logo for free use” (used in the program, IIRC)), so an unedited screenshot may not be OK for Wikimedia Commons.

Image copyright problem with Image:Fx-colorful-tabs.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Fx-colorful-tabs.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 20:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding: Sasayama already warned

Yeah, I reverted some of their vandalism, but I wasn't too sure where to put the report as Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Okayama had been opened and there wasn't a constant stream of vandalism coming from the user. If you could help as to where to comment about the vandalism, that would be great, thanks. Midorihana(talk)(contribs) 21:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Tagging article

Do not tag articles as you did with the Lucas Roberts article without cause. Fictional soap characters do not have to meet biographical notability as they are fictional. Tagging articles without cause can be considered vandalism. Please do not continue such behaviour. IrishLass0128 13:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Spammer

I know, it looks like they've produced quite a trail of spam. I'm going to check their old edits to make sure nothing slipped through. Regards, AlphaEta T / C 01:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Antero Vipunen [1] (answer)

If all articles about themes, which belong to outside of the Anglo-American subject matters would isn't allowed here, all articles about deities of Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and Indian have time to the trash can. --Movedgood 16:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Such a matter as the Finnish mythology is so anfully comprehensive that it doesn't go into one article. Secondy: Can't is said 99 % of all information about the Finnish mythology is unimportant for Englisah-speaker reader. All useful information about the Finnish mythology can be in one article for someone reader, but that kind of reader who has been interested in folklore all his or her life and needs special knowledge, because of he or she have a good coman of basic facts, which are mentioned in the main article. It would be good id that person would find it in one's own language. It other reader, who don't need so much information forfeit nothing, for he/she isn't forced to read all what has been written about matter. The more information probable that every finds such a information what he/she needs. Everyone reads the articles that interest them most and chooses on grounds of it. Wikipedia isn't paper and a space is unrestricited. --Movedgood 20:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Try to keep conversations on the talk page of the associated article. You made your argument; have fun . -- Mumia-w-18 21:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Templates

For someone who only appears to have been editing for less that a month, it seems rather presumptuous to start marking articles for deletion as you did Grass Eyot. This is especially thoughtless as the article had only been created 45 minutes earlier. As it concerns a physical place you should appreciate that verification is in the eyes of the beholder though of course one could quote an atlas for every place on Wikipedia. As for notability it is part of the totallity of information about the River Thames which is of importance to a significant number of people in England. Motmit 17:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Ome Henk Copyvio Question

Please refrain from removing CSD and copyvio tags. You are not an administrator! Continuing to do so will result in your account being BLOCKED! 217.233.230.172 17:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

User:217.233.230.172, your copyvio claims have been proven bogus. -- Mumia-w-18 18:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Courtney Zablocki

On the references of Courtney Zablocki, I will help. Let me show you how this is done so you can do it correctly. Please quit editing the article in order for me to show you how it is correctly done. Chris 14:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

It's done. Chris 14:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

The Alan Carter Crusade

Thanks for your smiles, too bad the edit didn't remain. Let's just call it a moral victory. :)

Anyway, if you see any official RfCs, AfDs or whatever for Carterab, his sock-puppets, or any of his articles then let me know. I'm all too happy to contribute to those discussions. Postmodern Beatnik 02:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Isn't Wikipedia dynamic? -- Mumia-w-18 05:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Reporting an IP

Hi, You can, if you wish, report an IP vandal at WP:AIV. However make sure that you have warned him sufficiently using the {{subst:uw-vand1}}, {{subst:uw-vand2}}, {{subst:uw-vand3}}, {{subst:uw-vand4}} warning templates respectivly. Thanks --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 20:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Wernher von Braun

Hi Mumia

My line on the von Braun brothers surrender was based on evidence that i have uncovered from the National archives as compared to accounts printed in historical record. As such they are not yet revealed anywhere else. These revelations are contained within my new website and forth coming book. Can i amend the line to a form that just draws attention to the topic of discussion on teh Wernher von Braun page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GHubert-Smith (talk • contribs) 16:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Let's continue this conversation on Talk:Wernher von Braun. Don't forget to sign your name with "~~~~". -- Mumia-w-18 16:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.--Mumia-w-18 22:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hong Kong films

Hi I'm just finding it rather amusing that you tried to tell me what wikipedia is and suggested moving pages to the commons!! As I have contributed the most articles on english wikipedia by along way, I think I'm aware of what this project is about by now. When complete these pages will have some paragraphs of text summarizing the major films of the year and other factual info added. I think they will eventually be very useful editions . Have you not seen any lists on wikipedia? There are so much more which are just lists and don't convey any info which these will. Regards 15:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

What?

Hi you gave me a warning which I am now removing because you have mistaken me for someone else. The only thing I changed on Scorpion was adding an italic on one word of the introductory sentence:

From this: It is a member of the Arachnida class and belongs to the order "Scorpiones."

To this: It is a member of the Arachnida class and belongs to the order Scorpiones.

The person you are looking for is someone else. Thank you. JTBX (talk) 16:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I didn't see the quote changes. I only saw the movement of the period. In American English, it goes before the quote. To me, it looked like you were only changing the language type.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 16:14, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Warning Templates

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Sexually transmitted disease: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Jauerback (talk) 19:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I do use the warning templates sometimes, but if it has been hours since an IP vandal last attacked, I usually don't bother with a warning.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 20:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You need to

...assume good faith. Whether you are looking for an excuse to use that template, don't dump it on my talk page for recreational purposes. I have reverted your cruft on my talk page and on the dab page. WP:MOSDAB clearly states to put the primary topic in the header. Unless you understand what vandalism is, let alone how to edit this encyclopaedia, I suggest you read the guideline about it before you make perform such inane actions again. Parable1991 05:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Colons do go after prepositions. Yes, in this case they do. Apparently you still haven't read WP:MOSDAB. Parable1991 06:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay, you're right--sorry.--Mumia-w-18 06:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


Nice job on Louis Pasteur

Hello, thanks for cleaning up the citations on Louis Pasteur! It was long overdue. Kindest regards, 19:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. Editing Wikipedia is a job you've got to love! --Mumia-w-18 20:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Good job

Hi Mumia-w-18,

I enjoyed reading the Government article. Good job!! --Aminz (talk) 08:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks . I really love improving Wikipedia and seeing the results. I still have some things I want to do before I return my library books, but to me, the current version certainly seems better than before.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 08:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it looks much better than before. At the top of the page, it says "This article needs additional citations for verification", may be britannica encyclopedia could help adding citations... I dunno. Cheers, --Aminz (talk) 09:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
BTW, Thanks to your hard word, I think this article is close to becoming a WP:GA article. --Aminz (talk) 09:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Aerial warfare

Great job on overhauling this article but is there anyway I could talk you into using the correct reference formats before you get any further. Before this article will go anyway these will all have to get changed so if you could start now it would help. Cheers--Looper5920 (talk) 05:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll change them to use the normal REF elements. I do prefer the MLA format citations, but I'm not wedded to them.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 05:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

ECT

Just to say thanks for your work on the electroconvulsive therapy article - it's the sort of diligent, productive work which all too often takes second place to ranting - so thank you! Nmg20 (talk) 11:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Gavrilo Princip

Actually, Bosnian was still a nationality, even though Bosnia was part of Austria-Hungary. People(including Gavrilo Princip) Still called themeselves Bosnian. F-E07 3:02 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Falcon-eagle2007 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Only if Californian is a nationality; people call themselves Californians--that doesn't make it a country.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 19:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
That is different, Calafornia is not a country, and never was. Bosnia was a country and a nationality until it became dominated by Austrian-Hungarian empire.80.192.246.56 (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)user:Falcon-Eagle200780.192.246.56 (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I just happened to notice that you have my special contributions in this section of ur user page. i was wondering what this means. Just curious..vcpk (talk) 05:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

about links to a Wikidot.com website

Thanks for your advice and sorry for answering you so late. I’m also the Administrator of the young Wikidot website “Himetop – The History of Medicine Topographical Database” and, as you can imagine, I’m trying to make of it a reliable source of historical medical information.

In fact, every item of the database – generally dedicated to a too specific subjects for a Wikipedia page (as discussed and stated by the Wikipedia community on the past months) – a monument, a home... - has a photographic documentation and precise address to making it reliable and useful.

I can add that I’m seeing from the Stat Counter connected with Wikidot that quite many people are passing from the Wikipedia pages to the Himetop ones, so it seems to me that this kind of specific deepening may be useful to someone interested in this particular subject.

Do you think that my explanation can solve your doubts?

Many thanks, again.Luca Borghi (talk) 17:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
