From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

File:Sephiroth.gif Hello, Fingerknöchelkopf, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and 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 the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my talk page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • 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, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log.
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language.
Happy editing!

Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc." audio commentary

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc." audio commentary article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Family Guy

Please see: WP:OR, WP:V, WP:NOT, WP:EPISODE, WP:AVTRIV, and WP:WAF. This is a general purpose encyclopedia. Explaning the jokes to people who can't keep up with the cerebral writing of modern television is contraindicated by policies and guidelines. There is no place for this cruft in the encyclopedia. Cheers. L0b0t 03:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Simpsons plots

Hi, I've noticed that you've been adding a lot of detail to plot sections of articles for episodes of The Simpsons. Per WP:PLOT we're supposed to try to keep them as brief as possible and eliminate extended mention of individual and one-off jokes as well as quotes. You are welcome to improve plots where you feel it is possible, but try to avoid adding too many details. -- Scorpion 0422 05:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Ah, all right. I just finished editing "Homer the Great" before noticing this message. I don't know if that's too detailed, but if it is then I'd certainly not mind if it were reverted. The reason I keep editing the plots is that I've been watching the episodes in order over the last several weeks and have gotten into the habit of checking the Wikipedia entry for each episode shortly after I see it. Anyway, in the future I'll try to keep things more brief and keep quotes and one-off jokes to a minimum. Thanks.-- Fingerknöchelkopf ( talk) 05:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Fair use rationale for Image:BloodroseSpine.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BloodroseSpine.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.—♦♦ AMBER (ЯʘCK) 10:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Fair use rationale for Image:FlintlockeWANTED.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FlintlockeWANTED.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Rockfang ( talk) 18:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Image:Kathrena_Too_HOT.jpg

I have tagged Image:Kathrena_Too_HOT.jpg as {{ no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
