Don't ask my help on pages I have never contributed anything significant. Don't tell about wiki projects I haven't participated. Don't advertise election candidates.
Hello 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!
No! It is not correct. Thankyou for bringing it to my attention. Tannin 23:29, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"I'm more interested in categorizing articles ..."
- Dear Hapsiainen, It is a great idea to have a finnish subcategory corresponding to Category:Dog breeds. To see all the InterWiki's look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dog breeds/Categories#Overview to Dog Categories. None of the other languages has (until now) so many dog categories as described at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds/Categories. Thanks! Gangleri 22:16, 2004 Oct 20 (UTC)
- I spend many hours with linking same / similar categories or articles. See fr:Discuter:Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#indications about bibliographic item(s) (see Catalog), Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#meta_name.3D.22KEYWORDS.22_content.3D.22....22 for example.
- Dear Hapsiainen, Thank you for linking to Bichon Frisé! How do you like the categories and the existing links? I signed in to ja: to. There are some uncatalogised articles in the dog list. Hope to get some help from fr: and nl: too.
- Do you know w:de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Nordeuropa? You can recomend it to German speakers if you like. Regards Gangleri 03:42, 2004 Oct 22 (UTC)
- Thanks Hapsiainen! Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds#Credits Gangleri

The page says its from Bikini Science (http://www.bikiniscience.com/bsmain.html), but I can't find any text that says the image is in the public domain or that it's otherwise compatible with the GFDL. Did you get explicit permission to use this image on Wikipedia? Regardless, it'd be great if you could add an image copyright tag to the image. Thanks! --David Iberri | Talk 18:26, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Before I uploaded my version, there was a scruffier version of the image. I saw it, and supposed that it would be legal to use the image. I have tried to find out the picture's copyright status. I believe the picture was taken in 1946, because then the bikini was introduced. And the picture must have been taken in Paris. I don't have any other facts about it. If the picture is still under copyright protection in US, the copyright must have either been renewed in 1974 or restored in the 1990s. So there should be a mention about it in a archive. But I don't know the name of the photographer or the magazine that published the picture, so I don't know what to look for. -Hapsiainen 20:16, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. I've added a {{PUI}} tag to the image for now, indicating that it is a possibly unfree image. If you think a better image tag applies, feel free to change it. Thanks, David Iberri | Talk 20:40, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
- You say WP:PUI is meant for images that are both unfree and not in fair use. Actually, PUI is intended for possibly unfree images, not just images that are known to be unfree. Also, you gave no indication that you believed the image was used under fair use -- that would require you to put the {{fairuse}} tag on the image page, along with reasons for why you think fair use is applicable. You are welcome to add the tag, but the fact still remains that it may not be a free image, so I don't see why it should be removed from PUI. --David Iberri | Talk 19:17, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
- That discussion concludes that {{freeuse}}-tagged images should be removed from WP:PUI, but your image didn't have that tag, which is why I listed it there. If you tag it and give some reasons why it should be considered free use, I'd be more than happy to remove it from WP:PUI. Best, David Iberri | Talk 22:51, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you. I've removed Image:MichelineBernardini.jpg from WP:PUI. --David Iberri | Talk 00:29, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)
Ringed snake???
I noticed your change of grass snake to ringed snake in Common toad. I know there is a stud article called ringed snake, but I have never in 42 years heard them described as anything but grass snakes in the UK (and I have had them as pets), so I think most British readers would find the term confusing. And as the only English speaking country where the snake is native is the UK I think we should go with the usual British name. I will take my argument over to the Ringed Snake page when I get the chance! Billlion 22:48, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Michael Stipe
NO, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE IS STIPE. All my life I've been pronouncing it Stripe. On www.ateaseweb.com (Radiohead site which frequently mention St(r)ipe) I see him as Stripe. Even I think that on www.nme.com he is known as Stripe. I didn't do it just to fuck with the tread. I did it with an itention to correct this "mistake". If I'm mistaken - ok, it's me. I fuck it up. But don't bann me because one blunder. I'm not a wanker... I'm doing my best about Radiohead, Oasis, Blur and britpop overall...
The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
- Umm, well, there you go. That's what user talk pages are for, to a certain extent. As one grump to another, I appreciate your feedback. --Tagishsimon (talk)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
Subpages
Hi! I read your question about creating subpages at Wikipedia:Help desk#Subpages don't work. As I have posted there, creating a subpage to the list you mentioned works just fine for me. You might want to try again and if unsuccessful, to describe your actions in detail. Good luck. --Plek 10:07, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
re: List of music videos: A
Good evening. On 23 Jan, you nominated List of music videos: A for deletion. I just closed the discussion on that article by redirecting it to the original article. In your nomination, you noted the problem with forks in articles. I agree. However, I prefer to solve them with redirects. A big part of why I prefer to solve them that way is that a redirect does not require a VfD vote nor an adminstrator to take action.
In your nomination, you noted that there seem to have been more of these popping up. If you are so inclined, I believe you could use Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of music videos: A as a precedent/justification to be bold and redirect the others as appropriate. Thanks. Rossami (talk)
Autofellatio
There is at least one other photograph in that series handing around somewhere, which shows clearly that the man is fellating himself and not a penis dildo or another man. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:19, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the message on my talk page. Those were some of the first fotos I uploaded when new to Wikipedia. I have uploaded many more all correctly tagged.

Please note that I have disputed the neutrality of this article. Jguk reverted my NPOV template, claiming that the NPOV dispute is just a personal campaign of one person. Whig 09:52, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
images
The images you list were taken from Ron's site which permits this for non-commercial and educational purposes. If that is not adequate, please delete them. the Dalmatian Pelican is a copyright free image from 777life, probably not tagged since it is a larger version of an image that may have now gone?? jimfbleak 04:50, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
