[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Polluks, Welcome to Wikipedia!


[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Happy Wiki-ing. -- John Fader 18:43, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:181404 LB 00 FB.EPS.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:181404 LB 00 FB.EPS.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 21:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting on disambig pages

Hi there, in general disambiguation pages are not sorted alphabetically, they are sorted in order of use, see:

Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Order of entries

Thanks/wangi 16:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OMF

Hello. I've reverted your categorisation of this article, since it is a disambiguation article and therefore does not fall into your category. If you wish to split a new article, say, Object Module Format away from the VME article and into a separate article, then your categorisation would be fine for that article, since it would only deal with OMF. Thanks, Ian Cairns 13:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

VME#OMF: - I see the problem but I was unable to label the right categorie in VME :-( Polluks 14:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, hence why you need to split off ObMoFo from the VME article into a separate article in order to categorise it separately. Of course, OMF is already taken as an article name... Ian Cairns 14:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vbcc

vbcc has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. An example of notability guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

[edit] Chipsets.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Chipsets.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. – Fʀɪɺøʟɛ ( тɐʟк • ¢ʘи†ʀ¡βs ) 05:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

just wanted to let you know, I've put this image up for deletion. I've made a replacement for it at Image:Chipsets2.png. – Fʀɪɺøʟɛ ( тɐʟк • ¢ʘи†ʀ¡βs ) 05:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, you may also add a legend for "chipset" and "device" -- Polluks 10:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Ooh, good point. I take it that rounded = chipset and rectangular = device, right? – Fʀɪɺøʟɛ ( тɐʟк • ¢ʘи†ʀ¡βs ) 16:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Btx.png

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Btx.png. 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.

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 16:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

I'm afraid you're going to have to remind me when we last spoke and the subject? I've read your username somewhere before but I can't remember... The only thing I know about GUI is what it stands for: General User Interface. ScarianTalk 17:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah! Graphical. I am enlightened thank you :-) - I knew I'd screw up somewhere. Yeah I didn't understand the I.P. edit, friend, so I AGF removed it. I'd never seen those tags before and in that pattern so I thought it might've been a test edit. What was it about? Take care, buddy. ScarianTalk 17:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:FLEX.png

Thanks for uploading Image:FLEX.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 07:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ALi logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ALi logo.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Polluks! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
