[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Drmotter, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 12:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MRX G.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:MRX G.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What the robot is trying to say (as near as I can figure)

I think the problems this robot is talking about have to do with missing info boxes on the Image:Pris.JPG and Image:MRX G.jpg pages.

Image:MRX G.jpg needs one of these:

Non-free image data
Description

Panel depicting {{{1}}}.
Source

{{{2}}}
Portion used

Single panel only.
Low resolution?

Sufficient resolution for illustration, but considerably lower resolution than original.
Other information Intellectual property owned by {{{2}}}.

Copy and paste the following into the image article, with info on where this image was originally published substituted in where it says {{{2}}} and Mr.X's intellectual property owner (is that still Vortex, or did it revert? If Vortex is official owner, put Vortex even if there is some understanding that Dean Motter is allowed to use the character as he sees fit) instead of {{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{3}}}|{{{2}}}}} :

{{Non-free image data |Description = Panel depicting [[Mister X (Vortex)]]. |Source = {{{2}}} |Portion = Single panel only. |Low_resolution = Sufficient resolution for illustration, but considerably lower resolution than original. |other_information = Intellectual property owned by {{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{3}}}|{{{2}}}}}. }}

and both Image:Pris.JPG and Image:MRX G.jpg need one of these:

Non-free image rationale - WARNING: {{{1}}} DOES NOT EXIST
Check capitalization and enter only the exact name (title) of a single article with no additional formating. It is also possible the indicated article was deleted.
Article

[[{{{1}}}]]
Purpose of use

Used for purposes of illustration in an educational article about the entity represented by the image.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of this article topic.
Replaceable?

Protected by copyright, therefore a free use alternative won't exist.


Copy and paste the following into each image article, replacing {{{1}}} with [[Image:Pris.JPG]] and [[Image:MRX G.jpg]] as appropriate:

{{Non-free image rationale |Article = {{{1}}} |Purpose = Used for purposes of illustration in an educational article about the entity represented by the image.<br>The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of this article topic. |Replaceability = Protected by copyright, therefore a free use alternative won't exist. }}

I think the rationale box for the Prisoner image is also supposed to identify the intellectual property owner of the TV show, too, and maybe also DC Comics, I'm not sure; usually the licensor owns the licenced comic book, but there have been exceptions and partial exceptions over the years. You may know better than I do about this.

Anyway, if you're still out there and interested in contributing, I hope this helps.
