Tip of the day...
Advanced signatures

It is good Wikiquette to sign your messages on talk pages. This is done by typing ~~~~ (four tildes). Do not sign article pages.

Some users have fancy signatures with lots of colors and links. Here are 3 different ways to do that:

  1. Edit directly in the signature box
    1. Go to your Preferences and type some wiki-markup code (and/or HTML markup code) into the signature box to augment your stock signature
    2. Check the box that says "Treat the above as Wiki markup"
    3. Press the "Save" button. Or...
  2. Use an HTML editor
    1. Open an HTML editor (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web)
    2. Design how you want your signature to look, putting links in it by adding brackets [[ ]]
    3. Select it and click the HTML tab and copy the code of your text into the signature box mentioned above.
    4. Be sure not to copy the tags at the beginning and end of the code that say <p> </p>. Or...
  3. Adapt someone else's signature
    1. Find a signature you like
    2. Click edit this page
    3. Copy and paste the signature into your signature box (see #1 above), but change all the links to your links: you do not want your signature leading to someone else's user page!

Do not use images, templates, or external links in your signature. Please ensure your custom signature complies with the relevant guideline. Use special code for displayed pipe character.

Be neutral when editing Wikipedia

Wikipedia strives to be neutral (NPOV). Remember, you have a point of view (POV). Think about whether your edits will breach this. If you think other users will think it is POV (Wikijargon for "biased"), then run it past other editors using the talk page for the article. This will allow for constructive debate and editing rather than an edit war.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd-tomorrow}}

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rolling-moving-spots.gif)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Rolling-moving-spots.gif. 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. BetacommandBot 17:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Wag.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Wag.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot (talk) 08:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Wag.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Palmiped (talk) 16:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
