Linking to categories[edit]

Hiya! Hope you're finding your way around Wikipedia! :D

I just dropped you a line to let you know that when you link to a category (like, type [[Category:Editor handbook]] like on your userpage, it not only links you to the category, but it puts your page into that category! ... really!

Don't worry, I corrected it for you! In the future, if you want to simply link to a category (like Editor handbook) just prefix the name of the category with a colon, like this: [[:Category:Editor handbook]] which results in a link that looks like this: Category:Editor handbook. Hope that helps, and if you run into any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Whoops, sorry about that. Thanks for fixing it.

DE9 and 25 pin connectors[edit]

Hello,

I am planning to manually convert your very informative DE9 and 25 pin images to SVG and then add them to the RS232 article. However, can I suggest that you take a look at Inkscape, Xara extreme or similar, which will allow you to write to SVG. A vector graphics editor without SVG support is kinda useless on wiki (and to some extent at large), and just means more work to convert it to a good format.

Looking forward to more nice SVGs from yourself! Regards User A1 (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well mayboe not the 25 pin version - someone already did that. User A1 (talk) 01:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and converted the DB-9 to svg for you :) Here's a link to it: Image:DE9 D-subminiature RS-232 pinout.svg -- Gargan26 (talk) 18:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python).jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python).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. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 08:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding a rationale. You may like to take a look at WP:FURG to see all the info that a rationale is expected to contain, though. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 08:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Woodstock poster.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Woodstock poster.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. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Quality Music Project[edit]

A tag has been placed on The Quality Music Project requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
