Welcome

Hello Piepie and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.

If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

FAQ
Glossary
Manual of Style

Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 05:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ED discussion page

I saw your edit to User:Azer_Red/ED_discussion_page while searching for vandalism, several keywords were in your comment. If you want to re-add that comment you can, there is nothing stopping you as it is your opinion (not acceptable in articles, but that is a discussion) and Wikipedia is not censored. I read the comment and it seemed like an attack which is why I reverted it. Also I'm not an administrator, I'm at the same level as you. By no means is this my wiki, I don't own any of it (WP:OWN). You can tell them that their efforts are unlikely to succeed if you wish, but despite you saying you won't, I still suggest rewording it. Anyway, I apologise if you think I reverted a legitimate edit. James086^Talk 11:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Because your took a screenshot or edited it in some way doesn't mean it's not fair use anymore. ' 14:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page hijinks

You do realize that if you don't cease adding your bullshit to my page, I'm going to have to whine WP:NPA in the appropriate channels. ' 06:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

September 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Shock site, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Piepie for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.Template:Do not delete brew crewer (yada, yada) 07:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what a "fanbio" is, but I'm pretty sure that it ain't me. I don't care about the guy, I never even heard of the guy before editing his article. For some reason I wondered onto the page, and I probably would have went further had the weird looking pic not caught my attention. Whether he's a villian or not isn't the point because as stated at Wikipedia:Verifiability The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Notice that I didn't touch the legit sourced negative info and I didn't add any positive info. Best, --brew crewer (yada, yada) 08:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. You may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using the style of referencing which you have used in the Lyor Cohen article is not within guidelines for referencing and in fact, gives the appearance of no citations at all. Please take a look at WP:CITE for guidelines on proper referencing. The use of internal links to other Wikipedia articles is an accepted practice, but using external links within a sentence as a substitute for proper referencing is not. In addition, please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edits to Lyor Cohen. This is especially important when engaging in what appears to be unexplained reversions of edits made by others. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Mr.gotti.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mr.gotti.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with images

Funny how unusually hard it is to establish fair use for certain subjects on Wiki. No need to fret, there is a 100% public domain image of a Mudkip that I produced, Image:Mudkip-with-scrunchie.jpg with regard to discussing the Mudkip Recall, due to dangerous metal objects inserted into Mudkips to hold their headfins erect. In the image, a scrunchy of similarly safe material is shown providing the necessary support without the addition of any hazardous metal parts. So, the image is both on-topic for wiki, and since I did release it into the public domain, I certainly cannot prevent you from making a "this user" tag out of it! In fact, I just noticed that someone else already has, LOL. Zaphraud (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Habbo Hotel-choosing your habbo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Habbo Hotel-choosing your habbo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hi, you can't use copyrighted images on your user page. Maybe you could make a drawing of V? maybe make your own version of the 4chan logo? in any case, you have to remove them. Cheers! --Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 00:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but they are uploaded and used under a claim of fair use, which means that they are used only to illustrate articles to which they are relevant. See also WP:USER#Images on user pages. You can use images that have been released into the public domain and are free, like this one of Hugo Weaving. You can also found some great images at Wikimeda Commons. --Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 00:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Project Chanology

No, there is no point in uploading an image like that. But there would be high relevance in uploading an image that said the site was unavailable at a certain time. I'll be doing that shortly. Cirt (talk) 03:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you happen to have a screencapture image with a timestamp and the message from Prolexic.com saying "Site Temporarily Unavailable" ? I have an image, but I got it from an NBC story, and now I can't find that story to cite it. Cirt (talk) 04:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind, found it, added it. Cheerios, Cirt (talk) 04:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Please do not add new content to this article without citing a secondary source. Citing something directly like YouTube isn't in accordance with WP:OR - and with a controversial topic like this one, best to stray to the side of overkill on sourcing anyways. Cirt (talk) 05:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, no worries. Trust me, I'd love to add the new info to the article that it crossed the 1,100,000 mark as well - but we need a good WP:RS/WP:V source... Cirt (talk) 05:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edmonton source

Already in the article, albeit under a different article title, but it's the exact same article text. You can check the refs sect. Cirt (talk) 05:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, TorrentFreak actually does look like an exclusive, which is cool - but it's not an acceptable source for this project. Cirt (talk) 05:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No moar please

Of this sort of stuff. Thanks. --JustaHulk (talk) 05:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Yes, that is a WP:NPA violation, please do not do it again. You will quite quickly risk being blocked if you cannot refrain from such comments. Cirt (talk) 05:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regime

Got anything better than that? Reports from a secondary source that satisfies WP:RS/WP:V? Cirt (talk) 22:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Digg.com in and of itself is not an acceptable source on Wikipedia. But you're showing a good effort. Cirt (talk) 22:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree Image:Project chanology.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Project chanology.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image 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. Cirt (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC) --Cirt (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you made it yourself, and are willing to release an image to public domain, and it has no copyrighted logos in it (and it's an accepted used logo for the organization) then that's fine. Cirt (talk) 12:09, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you find an image widely used somewhere by "Anonymous" and get permission for it to be freely-licensed either as public domain, creative commons or GFDL? You would have to get them to put a notice to that effect either close to the image or at the bottom of a website page, e.g.: "All images on this page are hereby freely licensed to (either public domain, GFDL, creative commons attribution, whichever they pick)" - or right next to an image: "This image is freely licensed under X license" (again, pick one of the aforementioned three, from above.) Cirt (talk) 13:51, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Best not to use a "fair use" pic, but a free-use pic. Cirt (talk) 14:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - See my comment above where I explain exactly how to get a free-use pic. We need something that is either GFDL, public domain, or Creative Commons attribution licensed. Cirt (talk) 15:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tell you what - I know a thing or two about images, but I am not the foremost expert on them. Why don't you create an account at Wikimedia Commons, and ask for help from an Admin over there about how to upload something that is A) verifiable as representative of Project Chanology, and B) allowable for uploading to the Commons. -- If it is allowable on the Commons, we can use it in articles here on Wikipedia. Good luck! Cirt (talk) 06:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New vid

Can we please wait on adding this new stuff until it gets coverage in secondary sources? Can you please revert? Trust me, you want to hear this coming from me as opposed to someone else, and it will come from someone else, if not now, then later. We want this article meticulously sourced, and to avoid primary sources as much as possible, to make everything in the article as cited/sourced/iron-clad as possible. Cirt (talk) 12:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's incredible.

Project Chanology

Sorry, removed that last bit because it was unsourced and looked like a WP:OR violation. Cirt (talk) 18:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was so long ago, I don't even recall at this point. Cirt (talk) 01:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
