Hello Am088, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
You can find lots more information, including open tasks and daily tips, at the community portal.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp as well.
Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show preview button to review your edits. Also, consider writing a summary for each edit.

[edit] CorelDRAW screenshot

Hi, I've listed Image:CorelDRAW.jpg, uploaded by you, for deletion and replaced it with a PNG version (Image:CorelDRAW.png) which is smaller and somewhat cleaner. Hope this is OK. Mysid (talk) 11:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:OpenSUSE_10.0.png

Thanks for uploading Image:OpenSUSE_10.0.png. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

The copyright holder, and
The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.

The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

- Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.

Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Shanel 22:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blender-NumPad.pNg

I see that this image has been uploaded by you, and I presume you created it. Please verify this, however, and change the liscense to an appropriate one at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Image:Blender-NumPad.pNg

[edit] Firefox2RC1.PNG

Okay, this is not really your fault, but, just so you know, it says in the Firefox Discussion page that all screenshots of firefox displaying a web page should be displaying en.wikipedia.org/Main_Page (It looks more professional). Also, it would be greatly appreciated if all screenshots taken on XP be taken while the Windows theme was set to either Luna (default blue/silver/green) or Classic. Thank you for your understanding.

No problem ---AM088 01:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, if you have time, could you update the firefox 3 picture the same way (we won't be mad if you don't). And, I'm curious, (you don't have to change the picture again) what is the extension that created the icon in the bottom corner of the window? Thanks again ---KingpinE7

I've had bad experiences with Adblock in the past, and I understand your unwillingness to change the screenshot until Places is re-enabled. I was upset when I found out about its removal. ---KingpinE7

[edit] Image:Minefield-3.0a1-20060922.png

Hello, I saw that you upload the picture of Firefox 3.0 a1. I would like to use it to but don’t know where I can get it. So I would ask you from where you have download it? Sorry for my bad English but I am from Germany. --Yoyo-josip 23:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I wrote the answer is on your talk page ---AM088 19:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] March 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Phenomenon. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'll pay closer attention next time. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NaF

I saw that you jumped into the discussion on sodium fluoride. I reverted your edit, so I wanted to explain because there is some context here that you might not know. The article sodium fluoride is about a chemical that is not even used much any more in fluoridation, it just happens to have a fluoride (thousands of similar compounds exist, starting with HF, of course). So instead of inserting redundant concerns about mass poisoning into all of these articles, we created Water fluoridation controversy, which is an ideal forum for your and User:78.86.90.144's concerns about fluoridation. Also User:78.86.90.144's contribution was misleading: NaF is not particularly poisonous, you gotta eat several grams of it. Again, if we included a long explanation of concerns about every chemical that is toxic at that level (recalling that the entire physical world is chemical), then the Wiki-Chem articles would be encumbered to the extent that their usefulness would be diminished. Thanks and best wishes, --Smokefoot (talk) 01:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Spybot.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spybot.png. 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) 12:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Google-moon.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Google-moon.png. 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. VegitaU (talk) 04:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Eclipse-logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Eclipse-logo.png. 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.
