Linking years

Just don't do it. You've been told several times by various people above that this is not the Wikipedia style, yet you went through Russell B. Cummings and re-linked all of the years that I had de-linked. You also added back in a bunch of links to plain English words and unnecessary spaces between article sections. And you left no edit sumamry to explain why you had done this. These edits are just a waste of your time and my time. Ground Zero | t 15:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Eddy Shell

You need to use the {{cite web}} template to get the ref to display correctly. {{cite web|url=|title=|accessdate=|publisher=}} is the minimum information required to make it work. Mjroots (talk) 05:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

How to use the cite web template:-

Say you want to use this website as a reference:-

http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OBITUARIES01/805080334/1060/NEWS01

• Using the template, the url goes in here
  {{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OBITUARIES01/805080334/1060/NEWS01|title=|accessdate=|publisher=}}
• Then the title of the aricle goes in here
  

{{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OBITUARIES01/805080334/1060/NEWS01|title=Eddy Shell given his final salutes|accessdate=|publisher=}}

• Then the access date goes in here
  {{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OBITUARIES01/805080334/1060/NEWS01|title=Eddy Shell given his final salutes|accessdate=2008-05-16|publisher=}}
• Finally the publisher goes in here
  {{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OBITUARIES01/805080334/1060/NEWS01|title=Eddy Shell given his final salutes|accessdate=2008-05-16|publisher=Shreveport Times}}, which, when given a refname produces a ref like this. and appears in the reflist like this:-

IMDB

Wikipedians have decided in their wisdom that IMDB does not qualify as a reliable source. IIRC, that is because IMDB is itself a kind of Wiki that anyone can edit.

Your recent image uploads

I notice that you have uploaded several images and noted that the site on which you found them does not expressly claim copyright. However, copyright doesn't work like that. By default, when something is published - to the web or any other medium - it is automatically copyrighted unless there is an explicit release stating otherwise. That's the reason many of your recent uploads have been caught by our image-patrol bots as you see in the above messages. If you want to use these images, you have two options:

• Use them despite their copyright, subject to the standards of our Wikipedia:Non-free content policy.
• Write the copyright holders and have them send a clear statement that they release the image(s) to the public domain, or under a Wikipedia-compatible license such as the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, to [email protected]

Thanks - let me know if you have questions. I know our image policies can sometimes be overwhelming. (ESkog)^(Talk) 02:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Oops, just thought of something else - I noticed too that you write on several description pages that you do not know the copyright status of an image. If you don't know whether an image is copyrighted, in future you should avoid uploading it until you can confirm it one way or the other. It can take a lot of work to clean up after unconfirmed uploads such as these. (ESkog)^(Talk) 02:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Placement of images in articles

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Consider using Wikimedia Commons for the images that will not fit in the article. Thanks for adding pictures; they really enhance things. →Wordbuilder (talk) 20:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Billy Joe Booth Billy 202.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Billy Joe Booth Billy 202.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Billy Joe Booth Billy 202.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Image:Ponce De Leon IMG 0288.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Ponce De Leon IMG 0288.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DYK? noms

NB: You may want to shorten your talk page. There are two ways: either archive your talk page (preferred) or refactor it.

I'm pretty sure you already know, but just to be certain, two of your submissions recently did not meet all of the newness criteria. To help, I'll reproduce that relevant criteria below. Remember that the 5x expansion refers to the readable prose:

1. New - A nominated article must be new.
   • For purposes of DYK, a "new" article is no more than five days old. This does not include articles split from older articles.
   • Former redirects, stubs, or other short articles that have been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days are also acceptable as "new" articles. Existing articles that have been expanded to only twice or three times their previous length are not eligible for DYK.
2. Long enough - The article must be of sufficient length.
   • Articles should have a minimum of 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes) in main body prose (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables). The number of characters may be measured using this tool.

Wikimedia Commons

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 05:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Message left on my talk page

(Note that new messages should be at the bottom of the page). If the image was taken so recently, why do you believe that it is out of copyright? J Milburn (talk) 20:06, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

It was a snapshot taken at a GOP meeting by a friend of Mr. Blaylock, who has it in his possession. He gave it to me for use, and I will return it thereafter. 21:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Blaylock photos

All four photos were sent to me as a gift from Mr. Blaylock, who had them in his scrapbook. I told him I would return them after use.21:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Until you can verify that the copyright holders of the images (probably the people who took them) have released the images into the public domain, they should not be used. J Milburn (talk) 21:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 01:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
