Welcome!

Hello, Arctic-Editor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Hey, great to see someone paying attention to the Protecta page. I'm afraid you can't just copy someone else's work and paste it into Wikipedia, unless you are that person (which is unlikely). Please rewrite the article in your own words or have me do it, thanks.PS, expect a call from an annoying admin, SCEhard T.--Holocron 15:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Franchi_spas15

This image may be deleted.

Hi. The image you uploaded at Image:Franchi_spas15.jpg uses the tag {{NoRightsReserved}}, which is incorrect because the source you cite (http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/franchi_spas15.jpg) gives no copyright information. Images stored on a web page can be copyrighted to any number of individuals and organizations which the web page may fail to identify. You must not assume these unidentified copyright holders have released all rights to the picture into the public domain - this rarely happens, and it's probably not the case here. One option is to use the tag {{promophoto}}, which states that the image is an advertisment pic released by the product's manufacturer, but you still need to identify an author and source.

To do this, find an image that is hosted on the manufacturer's web page. Read the manufacturer's copyright policy, and if that policy does not expressly forbid doing so, you can take the image and upload it to Wikipedia with the Promophoto tag. If, despite your efforts, you cannot identify the source or copyright status of an uploaded image, it has to be deleted ASAP according to wiki policy.

I hope we can get this sorted out quickly. Thanks for your contributions, and welcome to Wikipedia! Tronno (talk | contribs) 17:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Ithaca37st.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ithaca37st.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 or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 13:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Atchisson Assault Shotgun, Metal Storm grenade launcher, MAG-7, DAO-12 and more

You seem to have taken the entire page, including images, from Modern Firearms Reference pages. Their content is protected by copyright and not free for you to reuse in wikipedia. Copying of nonfree text and images like that is a violation of both copyright law and wikipedia's policies. If you wish to contribute original or freely licensed text or images, you are welcome to, but if you continue to contribute copyright violations, you may be blocked from editing wikipedia.

Image Tagging Image:Calidus 2.gif

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Calidus 2.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 media, 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. Thank you. --Pak21 12:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Writing Style

Hello fellow gun affectionaire (And possible Lutheran?). I wanted to make a quick reminder that your writing style has to be in a nuteral voice. Reduce the ammount of times you use the word "I" in your articals to make sure that the artical is up to quality. Happy editing!--Holocron 04:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
