![Armaced caught by surprise - what a geek](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/User-Armaced.jpg)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Thanks for the hint, Meelar. Let me give it a try.

Nice catch
[edit]Hi; I'd just like to extend my thanks to you for catching User:Hans im Glück's malicious example.gif. It's now permanently deleted. Nice catch. :) -- Hadal 05:05, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
You wrote Hmmm. How about this?
- Well, the phrasing is less awkward, but his last four books were definately historical fiction and you removed that phrase... Also, I don't think his other works (other than those four) have the predisposition as you indicate. --ssd 13:36, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I don't disagree, it is just that I can't figure out how to add the phrase back in without messing up teh prose. :) --ssd 02:05, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Jay Jay the Jet Plane
[edit]Thanks for reverting Jay Jay the Jet Plane. How can I make a revert?
System of the World
[edit]Thanks for supplying that quote--I'll recategorize the books myself. I had always assumed that they were placed there simply because most of his previous books were science fiction, but wasn't aware that he supported the idea. (I personally think he's mistaken, but who am I?). Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 13:43, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit]There are several published discussions of what Plato's number theory and geometry may have meant. Some of them, and most of those on the web, are tosh. I do not recall the exact reference in Popper, except that it is a footnote to the first volume of The Open Society (the last to chapter 10??) Fortunately, Popper's books are usually exhaustively indexed. Good luck. Septentrionalis 02:09, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Image Tagged as Fair Use
[edit]Greetings. Thank you for uploading Image:UncleScroogeNo21.jpg. This image has been tagged as fair use. Please add a detailed rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image_description_page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Regards, Dethomas 19:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
California WikiProjects
[edit]As a California Wikipedian, you may be interested in the California WikiProject (and/or one of its 'daughter' Wikiprojects on Southern California, Santa Barbara County, California State Highways and California County Routes). Please take a look at the WikiProject to see if there is anything that interests you. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact me. If enough people express an interest, it would also be very easy to create additional daughter WikiProjects, such as a Northern California WikiProject or a California Politics WikiProject.
It has also more than seven months since the 2nd Los Angeles area Wikipedia meetup ([ 26 September]] 2005), so it is time for another one. There have also been California meetups in San Diego (18 October 2005) and a very small one in Santa Barbara (8 April 2006. It's also about time that the Bay Area gets its first Meetup if anyone is willing to organize it. BlankVerse 06:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Gamecomwithbox.JPG
[edit]Thank you for uploading Image:Gamecomwithbox.JPG. 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. Liftarn 19:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I've deleted this as a copyright violation. --MichaelMaggs 17:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Michael. I just wanted to make sure I understood your comments regarding this image. I saw your initial comment and updated the image to include copyright information (I took the picture and have intended to release the copyright to GNU). I saw your comment "I've deleted this as a copyright violation", which must mean you have deleted it from the list of images in copyright violation, and not that you have deleted the image because of a copyright violation. Please let me know if the image requires more info from me, and thanks for your tireless improving Wikipedia! -Armaced 18:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Armaced. I've actually deleted the version of that image that was on Commons, as it is I'm afraid a copyright violation of the printed design on the box. Even though you took the picture, and may be prepared to license your image, copyright in the cover design and printed layout still remains with the copyright owner - probably the company, and it's that that you've infringed. As the image is also on Wikipedia, though, you can still see it here. Admins here may possibly allow the picture to stay if it can be argued that fair use applies, but that's not allowed on Commons. (I'm an Admin on Commons, not Wikipedia). --MichaelMaggs 20:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification, Michael. I submit to your authority regarding wiki Commons copyright practices. I am not entirely sure how the image got there in the first place, as I only intended to upload it to Wikipeadia. I do find it surprising that this would be considered a copyright violation under any terms, however, and since it is in my nature to probe shades of grey, I am going to ask a few questions. Feel free to ignore them if you wish, I know you must be busy, but I have to ask. Since this was a picture that contained a box, and not an attempt to directly reproduce the box or it's cover image, is it a copyright violation to have any copyrighted item in a picture? What about a picture of my son opening a box of Lego's on Christmas, with the box mostly unwrapped? My Dad standing in front of his 1998 Ford truck? My wife reading a new novel, with the cover clearly visible (..or even part of the text of a page)? My daughter eating Cheerios with the box in the picture? Brands surround us, and it seems unfair that copyright law would extend any where near any of these conditions.
- Please understand I am not challenging your actions. I understand that your organization prefers to err on the side of caution. Thank you for your time. -Armaced 23:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Armaced. Copyright is pretty confusing, I agree. If you take a photo of a 2D copyright work, like a printed design on a box, without consent of the copyright owner (usually the company) that's normally a copyright infringement. There are some exceptions, though of which Fair use is one. It's also OK if the design is insignificant within the overall photo, as with the example you gave of your son opening a box of lego. It's a matter of degree: a closeup photo of the design printed on the lego box is not allowed; a photo in which the design is incidental is OK.
- The rules are different when considering a photo of a 3D object. If the object is of some 'work of art' like a sculpture or a toy model of Superman, in which copyright can exist in its own right, taking a photo in which that object is prominent is infringement. Such a photo of a copyright 3D object is sometimes called a "derivative work". For more details, see the very good article at Commons:commons:Derivative works. Once again, though, if the object is insignificant you should be ok. It's also quite ok to take photos of 3D objects in which copyright has already expired (eg an old piece of sculpure), or which are not capable of attracting copyright as a 3D work (eg a gun, the shape of computer, a sofa, a truck). Having said all that, the detailed rules may differ somewhat country by country.
- I expect your photo on Wikipedia was picked up by someone who thought it was good and who copied it across to Commons. Generally, it's better to upload to Commons when you can, as that allows images to be used on other Wikis, not just the English Wikipedia. But on Commons you can't rely on the Fair use copyright exemption, so there will be a few images which are OK here but which are not allowed on Commons. Do feel free to post any queries you have on copyright issues to the Commons Helpdesk where there are lots of nice people who can help :) --MichaelMaggs 15:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)-
- Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me, Michael. -Armaced 23:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
ARSWiki Link
[edit]Hi Michael. I saw a link to the arswiki.org site from your user talk page. I updated the link to hit the domain only without the /wiki/index.php?x since that no longer works. Thanks for the hits. Don't know your last name, but looks like you are a Remedy enthusiast much like myself.

Non-free use disputed for Image:RemedyCorp.jpg
[edit]![]() |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:RemedyCorp.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I believe this issue to be addressed and have removed the flag. -Armaced 15:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Garlick_2.jpg
[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Garlick_2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi - I noticed you uploaded this image and it is tagged with {{GFDL-presumed}}. If you created the image, please change the tag to {{GFDL}} or another appropriate free license. If you did not create the image, or if you need help picking an appropriate license, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! -SCEhardT 16:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. As the main contributor (basically the only one other than category-level input) to this article - can I assume you know a bit about "Remedy"?
Would you mind answering some questions for me to help me work out if a job I have an interview for is my thing or not?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:RemedyCorp.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:RemedyCorp.jpg. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Image licensing
[edit]Hey there...
I am trying to clean up some of the images with minor licensing issues and I came across Image:User-Armaced.jpg which is only used on your user talk page. If you are going to use the image, could you go and fix the licensing on the image page and be clear about releasing the image under a GFDL license (or another free license). Thanks. If you have any questions, please drop me a note on my talk page. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 22:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Protector-Niven.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Protector-Niven.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jack Merridew 08:50, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Please note that there is a first edition book cover with a FUR used at the top of the article. Cheers, Jack Merridew 08:57, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:CarnageHeart Gekko-8.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:CarnageHeart Gekko-8.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 22:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Seganomad.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Seganomad.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
