User talk:Johnny from Bronx
Hello Johnny from Bronx and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you to become a good editor or perhaps even the best editor:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Just a quick note: You must not add copyrighted text, advertisements or promotional material, or add text that does not relate to the subject of the article. This may get you blocked from editing, which you don't want. Also, do not copy and paste material from any other website and remember, Wikipedia has a neutral point of view. If you want to make editing tests, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian. The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see Wikipedia:Questions, or, ask at the Village pump, or help pages, ask me on my talk page, or put {{helpme}}
on your talk page (this page) and then put your question or comment. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ it will automatically insert your signature and the date. Good luck and good editing. Cheers. -Porchcrop (talk|contributions) 07:16, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Edit summaries when nominating pages for deletion.
[edit]Please can I ask that when you nominate an article for deletion, you add an appropriate edit summary for the AfD log. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion: Step number three suggests you use a summary such as "Adding [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]". This makes it easier for those watching the log to easily access discussion pages. A blank summary isn't very informative or useful. Thanks! Jenuk1985 | Talk 21:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Interwiki vandalism
[edit]Stop it! We, the users from the German Wikipedia, mustn't write Fritzl's full name over there, I can't help it. Just because you think, that we are crazy and the Austrian law is void, you don't have the right to prevent us from linking the international Wikipedias with legitimate soft redirects. --ChrisHamburg (talk) 06:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- Please stop creating useless articles (spam) at other projects just to solve internal German disputes. The German Wikipedia is obliged to use the correct and valid interwiki link, Fritzl case. Johnny from Bronx (talk) 07:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- We aren't obliged to use anything. We're only obliged to observe the law. --ChrisHamburg (talk) 11:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- The German Wikipedia is, as a Wikimedia project, obliged to include valid interwiki links and not obstruct the interwiki system. Germans have no right to censor other projects. I don't understand which law you are referring to. There is no law against the mentioning of the Fritzl name (then every large German or Austrian newspaper and TV channel, even ORF, would be criminals - the website of ORF mentions the Fritzl name on 2 470 pages[1]) Johnny from Bronx (talk) 17:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

- It seems like ORF hasn't decided yet whether they should use F. or Fritzl. At least the Spiegel sticks to Josef F.. In what way do I "censor" foreign projects by creating a redirect? We don't change any articles except for our own one. --ChrisHamburg (talk) 20:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Fritzl case#Something weird is happening at the German Wikipedia are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Fritzl case. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. — neuro(talk)(review) 21:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Fritzl Austrian Police.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Fritzl Austrian Police.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
