From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello Jlin and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (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).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- 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!

[edit] Microsoft Expression
Hi, thanks for finishing off the renames of the Expression product pages! I didn't have a chance to finish the renames when I was working on it several hours ago. The changes look great. Warrens 22:37, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't realize someone was working on them; otherwise I might have let you do them instead. :) Glad I could help. Jlin 05:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:RationalSoftware.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:RationalSoftware.gif. 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 23:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've added a better fair user rationale. Jlin (talk)
[edit] Lotus categories
If you look at the category listings for "IBM Software", in the "L" listings you will find "User:Jlin/Sandbox". If in your sandbox you'll put a ":" in front of "Category" you'll still be able to click, etc., but the entry will no longer be picked up for the category page. (you have the same problem for a few other categories).
Second. The "Lotus software" category entries should have replaced the "IBM software" categories instead of being added. "Lotus software" is a subcategory of "IBM software" so all Lotus entries are accessible from the "IBM software" category, and one of the goals of subcategories is to reduce the length of long category lists. What needs doing now is going through those Lotus articles with the "IBM software" category, checking that the article has a "Lotus software" category, and then deleting the "IBM software" category.
Or it may have been the intent that the "Lotus software" category be for pre-IBM acquisition Lotus software. I don't know, but either way it's is redundant for an article to be both in a category and a subcategory of that category. tooold 20:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Good points. I didn't notice that Lotus software was a sub-category of IBM software. I'll go through and remove the redundant "IBM software" category tags. I've already removed my sandbox from the category. Jlin 17:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Windows Media Player 10.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Windows Media Player 10.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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've added the screenshot to the Windows Media Player article. Jlin (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Windows Media Player 10.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Windows Media Player 10.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. After Midnight 0001 00:18, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've added a fair use rationale. Jlin (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
