Newbie Problem #2: Vandalism of Friends' User Pages

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to User:Militant-54, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you.Jens Nielsen 18:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This raises an important philosophical question. Is it alright to vandalise the user-page of a friend, even if it's hilarious? PROBABLY NOT. I'm not a vandal; I hope this thing doesn't stick. I'll keep it up for the hell of it. --008 22:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but friend or not, such contributions are not helpful to the wikipedia. Adding nonsense to wikipedia, if repeated, will result in more warnings and eventually in a ban. Do your best to improve the wikipedia with serious content, and all will be happy.Jens Nielsen 10:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Newbie Problem #1: Image Copyright Tags

A'ight, thanks to Merovingian for that. I would like to upload photos for each individual member of Incubus on their respective pages, but there are so damn many rules. Almost makes me want to become an anarchist. For instance, I wanted to upload a photo of Jose, but after a little look around on the image copyright tags page's discussion page, I see that Sony music wouldn't like that very much. Have I got it wrong? Is it all really so strict?

At first, it seems that way, but there are a number of exceptions. It all depends on the kind of photo it is. If it's a promotional photo, you can use the {{promophoto}} tag in the image description field when you upload it. I'll be happy to help you out further, if you require assistance. --Merovingian (t) (c) 14:17, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I know that much... you may have noticed that I recently updated the photo on the main Incubus page with that very tag. But I'm not sure if the one I wanted to use for Jose counts as a promo-photo. It's here: [1] ~ 008 19:15, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that any of those images would either fit under {{promophoto}} or {{musicpromo-screenshot}}, depending on where the image comes from. --Merovingian (t) (c) 19:25, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Cool, thanks man. ~ 008 19:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome; best of luck! --Merovingian (t) (c) 19:39, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
