Hi Terrillja. That is a great template. I think you should go ahead and have that moved into wikipedia space asap, and it wouldn't hurt you to speak to AzaToth about having that listed with twinkle. I think people like myself who watch the User creation log would have a field day with that one! [[User:Iceflow|Thor Malmjursson]] ([[User talk:Iceflow|talk]]) 17:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC) |

i have photographed a picture from a dvd french box set that I would like to add to the wikipedia page but am I infringing the rules and how do I do it. The link is in my contributions page. thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by REVUpminster (talk • contribs) 19:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- You need to add a non-free use rationale, which is explained here: Wikipedia:Non-free_use_rationale_guideline, and the image must be used in an article. One example of a good fair use rationale is here: [[1]]. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away. --Terrillja talk 20:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I have had a go and could you check it for me. It is on my contributions page, and if ok how do I move it to the article.REVUpminster (talk) 00:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I want to put the thumbnail image in the box of the article but can not do it. I been practising but no good.REVUpminster (talk) 21:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Fixed it here, sorry to take so long to get back to you, just had to use a wikilink rather than the url path. --Terrillja talk 00:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I tried all ways. Have just added the picture.REVUpminster (talk) 10:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
i did not realise you can not leave pictures on talk pages where I was practising. But at least it's still on the article. Thanks againREVUpminster (talk) 09:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
your post to me about the link on Worcester page
Thanks so very much for your help. That's really helpful.I like what you did. So I guess at some point the orphan note goes away.
On the picture upload problem. There are two problems in fact. The first I did not describe before. It is about a b&w portrait of Joe Skinger that I tried to upload two years ago. Some box I checked when uploading (I was brand new to wiki then) caused that photo to be put in some sort of permanent limbo for my use. I then contacted the photographer was given permission by the photographer to use it but I didn't enter all that info in- in the wiki way -because I had already uploaded it without the permission- and it was then taken off and blocked for my use. Everytime I tried to upload it after that it was blocked. I have an email from the photograher Peter Miller from 2 years ago giving me permission to use it and link his site. Yesterday I copied all the wiki- formal language on this subject and emailed it to that phtographer to have him give permission on the wiki form. I will then submit that to wiki and hopefully they will then stop the block on use of that photo. If you think I can just submit the two year old email from him to wiki- in case he his flummoxed by the form I sent yesterday please let me know how.
2nd photo upload problem, which is what I described yesterday: It is a scan of a photo. When I scanned it I did a save as jpg.
On a copy of the scan, using photoshop- image size, I put resolution in at 200- so it is small and prepared for web.
When trying to upload, I select browse and it travels to my scan where it is loacted.
I select upload. then a red message comes up saying is does not have the suffix .jpg.
When I click through the long address on the photo location in my browser- to check the name I saw it had two suffixes .jpg.jpg. So I go into my browser and rename it so my name of file does not show .jpg- because somehow it is alreday named that with out my seeing it. Still either way I get same red message after I select upload. I have 80 scans of sculptures to up load, and fear I may have the same problem on all of them.

- OK, well I will try to work with you on that. I'm busy right now, but hopefully within a week I will be able to try and figure it out. --Terrillja talk 04:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Joseph Skinger site
OK understand your time constraints. Also I have figured something out that should allow me to get going with my second question. I realized a bunch of things I was having problems with image wise are PDF's not jpgs. I will try to use photoshop to convert them. I see some people like to do this under microsoft Paint aslo.
Still leaves my first question on the permission to use the portrait photo. Artfornow (talk) 14:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I confirm that this is my account, for purposes of showing that it is a reputable, established user requesting the usurp. I created the temp account so I can keep this one. --Terrillja talk 16:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Don't you think a final warning was a little harsh? He only created the page twice, and it looked ike he was trying to create a userpage. Usually, I find it best to go through the progressive warnings before threatening with a block.
- I saw 4 a7s (loking back, 1 was a duplicate somehow), and I had already transferred one copy of it to his user page, so I took it as him continuing to try and recreate it. Admittedly, I probably should have left a message telling him to simply edit the copy on his userpage after I moved it, but I felt that when it was created 3 times (under 2 different spellings), it was beginning to get a bit questionable what his intent was and wanted to try and get him to stop. --Terrillja talk 21:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
WTF
what do u think you are saying to me. do u know who i am? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slappydangler (talk • contribs) 02:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. All I know is that you vandalized the article. If Jimbo Wales had done the same I probably would have warned him too. --Terrillja talk 02:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
