Leila Waddell image

Hi, I didn't know about the image override rule, and thought that's what the 'revert' button was for (still puzzled, what is that for then?). I don't know how to move the image to a new file, could you help with that? Maybe it could be named Leila Waddell2 or something similar. Then two Waddell images could appear on her article page. The face photo seems to me the better one (personal preference) in that it is a portion of her photo from the Crowley period which she is best known for. Thanks, Aleister Wilson (talk) 13:59, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I didn't mean to put the revert tags back, just poking around the file to see if I could figure out how to rename the photo. Still haven't figured it out (was hoping there was a "move" button on it, but no). Aleister Wilson (talk) 15:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Revert is for doing exactly that - "reverting" back to a previous version of the file. It's often used to clean up vandalism or when someone mistakenly overwrites a perfectly good photo.

The image your uploading is a good one and I'd hate to see it not be used. Here's where you should start:

1. Click on Wikipedia:Upload (you can find it to the left, as well).
2. Select "An image from a website"
3. Scroll down past the warning. I'd recommend pausing for a moment and reading them, but at this point it's fine.
4. Choose a good "Destination filename:". Choose something other then "Leila Waddell.jpg". Maybe... "Leila Waddell Headshot.jpg". Accurate and descriptive is the key.
5. Fill out the description the best you can.
6. Choose the license "First published in the United States Before 1923". Since the image was published as part of the "The Book of Lies" (published 1913) we can be fairly certain it's in the public domain.
7. Press "Upload file"

And then your done. Now both files co-exist! ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 19:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the tutorial, and I will study the How To's, but right now I'm lost amongst my lack of tech. ability. How would I tell the code/upload exactly which photo I'm uploading from a website, and from what website? Totally lost here. Would you please do this upload and then I'll study for future uploads. Thanks, and have a great weekend. Aleister Wilson (talk) 01:06, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, you 'rescued' the photo. I'm going to have to study uploading photos and graphics, thanks for the start on my limited tech and coding education. Appreciated. Aleister Wilson (talk) 11:02, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Your input is requested

As you have recently edited Andy Martin (American politician), I am writing to request your input at the article talk page, sections Vexed and disputed are the ones which outline the current issue. Many thanks in advance for your time. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 21:39, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Hot Rod (rapper) re-started

Hi, J.smith - I've restarted a talk page you deleted - think it's uncontroversial, but just doing the right thing - --Shirt58 (talk) 12:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
