Hello ViperBlade! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button Image:Button sig2.png located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some recommended guidelines to facilitate your involvement. Happy Editing! --  Netsnipe  ►  14:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    Saw Trap

    Actually, that wasn't me. I missed the Spike TV Scream awards and haven't seen a re-run so I haven't the slightest I idea if it is true. My last edit was for a new trap I viewed on the trailer, not Troy's trap. -Lindsey8417 09:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    ::Well actually the watchlist just lists the articles latest change, not anything previous to it. So the person's edit before my edit wouldn't show up. Anyways, through the 'Saw 3' history page I was able to find User:Smoke Rulz is the one who made that edit. -Lindsey8417 09:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    :::Well, if you ever need any help or have a question, I'm pretty much adicted to Wikipedia, so feel free. Its nice to see someone actually my age. Yea, I saw the edit, but I didn't realize it was the same trap. Nice work. -Lindsey8417 09:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    ::::Its actually very easy. On the top right hand corner of the page you should see a link that reads "my preferences" or just type http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences . It should take you to a page where you can input what you want your signature to be. -Lindsey8417 09:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    :::::n00bish? Ok, well try putting in the code that you inputed on the User:ViperBlade/Sig page. I would retype it, but the thing just shows your signature again.-Lindsey8417 09:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    :Ok try typing this into the signature thing on the "my preferences" page:

     ViperBlade Talk!!


    -Lindsey8417 10:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    ::Did you check the little box next to the signature thing that says "Raw Signature" with the code I gave?-Lindsey8417 10:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    :::Great. Sorry I couldn't help. -Lindsey8417 10:33, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    ::::I have been using the ~~~~, but didn't know how to make it with colors and much more custom. So thanks for telling me about it on your user page, I may change mine sometime. -Lindsey8417 10:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    {{editprotected}} tags

    Why are you placing {{editprotected}} tags on the talk pages of articles that aren't even protected? --  Netsnipe  ►  14:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    :Hey. I wanted to upload two images for My Chemical Romance singles but when I clicked on the "nocover.gif" image, it came up with "This high-risk template has been protected from editing to prevent vandalism. Please discuss changes on the talk page. You may use {{editprotected}} on the talk page to ask for an administrator to make an edit for you.". So I placed the editprotected template on the discussion pages. Obviously I did something stupid, lol. I'm new to editing Wiki, so sorry about any cockups.  ViperBlade Talk!! 15:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    That's because you were trying to edit :Image:Nocover.gif, the placeholder itself. Edit the article and add an image link to the "Cover" field within {{Infobox Single}} --  Netsnipe  ►  15:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    Re:About Your Signature

    Sure, no problem. Glad I could be somewhat of a help... It doesn't look exactly like mine either, so that's cool. But it does look nice. Good job with it.  Orfen User Talk 20:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

    Your AFD nomination was incorrect (for [[Famous last words]])

    Please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for the proper method of making an AFD nomination. The first template goes on the article page not the talk page. So it should be at Famous last words not talk:Famous last words. And then you have to set up a discussion page with the second template and list your reasons for deletion under the wikipedia policies. Finally you need to list the talk page on the AFD page (all this is expalined much more clearly in the AFD instructions) so people will know to comment on it.

    Let me know if you still have questions or problems. (If you tell me why you think it should be deleted I'll complete the nom for you.) RJFJR 20:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

    I stumbled on your userpage while I was looking for a guide for custom signatures. I wanted to thank you for putting that bit on your page, because it helped a lot! I was lost on what to do.

    Orphaned fair use image (Image:JeffTapeRecorder.jpg)

    Thanks for uploading :Image:JeffTapeRecorder.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

    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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

    Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Flyleaf-Flyleaf.jpg]]

    Image:Nuvola apps important.svg

    Thanks for uploading or contributing to :Image:Flyleaf-Flyleaf.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. Sfan00 IMG 15:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

    Photoshop screen shot

    I made a comment to your PS screenshot. Basically I wonder if this image could be confusing to people who are not familiar with image editing, and Photoshop in particular. Crocadillion 17:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

    Hey there, I'm not sure what your post to my discussion page meant... "Nah, my bad. I actually meant to review the previous version of the image and clicked the wrong frigging place. Then messed up setting it right again, lol. Thanks, ViperBlade"

    I have tried to figure out what part of my post you are responding to... I still think that the picture is mis-leading and not as informative as it could be! have a good one. Crocadillion 21:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    Alright... Thanks for clearing that up! What do you think of that screenshot (try to think like someone who knows nothing about Photoshop)? Crocadillion 20:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

    Hi,

    I noticed you changed the link on the article from the Saw page to the Saw (short) page. I was wondering whether I should now re word it, because the link doesn't go to where the text says it should, or I could change it back and add a new sentence with the link in it? — Movie Junkie 16:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

    : I've sorted it, in the sentence "Wan and Whannell made a short of the film, Saw to showcase the intensity of the script" I've linked the word "short" to the short movie that was made. — MovieJunkie Talk! 12:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

    :: Thanks, I hope you don't mind but I just wanted it to sound right. :) I was glad however that you mentioned having a link to the short, it's a great deal better now. — MovieJunkie Talk! 16:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

    Thanks for uploading or contributing to :Image:Doctorgordonsaw.PNG. 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.

    [[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1

    Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:

    • In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
    • I have slightly [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_France&diff=169859879&oldid=167473643 rearranged and updated] the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
    • I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, :Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
    • There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
    • What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.

    It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

    Orphaned non-free media (Image:MyWordsOfWisdom.jpg)

    25px Thanks for uploading :Image:MyWordsOfWisdom.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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

    Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Doctorgordonsaw.PNG

    Thanks for uploading :Image:Doctorgordonsaw.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 (talk) 05:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

    Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Mi3CD.jpg

    Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

    Message from the My Chemical Romance task force

    Hello!

    You may be interested to know that the WikiProject My Chemical Romance has recently been transformed into a task force of WikiProject Emo. Please visit the task force page to see what's new. This move allies the task force with a larger WikiProject that handles much of the administrative overload, thus allowing task force members to focus on the most important activity: article improvement.

    The project's membership list has also been moved to the new task force page. If you see that your username is in the "Inactive/former members" section, please do not take offense; this is because you no longer appear to be active on Wikipedia. We may also take the liberty of removing the member userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in :Category:My Chemical Romance task force members. Of course you are free to rejoin the task force and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active again.

    For active editors, it is our hope that this change will help spur you to improve articles related to My Chemical Romance. You may have noticed that the old My Chemical Romance project userbox on your user page has automatically changed to the new task force userbox. We may take the liberty of fixing the template link on your userpage, to avoid redirects.

    Thank you and we hope you will continue to support the My Chemical Romance task force!

    {{notice|You are receiving this message because you have previously identified yourself as a member of WikiProject My Chemical Romance, either because your name appeared on the project's Participants page or because you have placed the project userbox on your user page. As a courtesy, if you have left the project, retired from Wikipedia, or simply no longer wish to be an active member of the task force, please remove the userbox from your user page. This will remove you from :Category:My Chemical Romance task force members and help the task force to keep its active membership list up-to-date.}} --IllaZilla (talk) 03:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

    Saw

    Hello there, I noticed you are a member of the Saw task force, and therefore have foreknowledge of the Saw series, making you an editor with qualifications to review an article under the scope of Saw. I hope am I not bothering your editing, but I would like to bring to your attention that List of Saw media is currently being reviewed for a possible featured list status, but there is currently a major backlog in the amount of articles waiting to be reviewed. I would like to encourage you to participate in the discussion, found here, if you are interested. If you believe I am disrupting your editing or that my message was an attempt to sway your opinions per WP:Canvas, please let me know so I may fix my methods of bringing this conversation to editors attention, I am simply trying to prevent a backlog on the WP:FLC page.

    More information needed about File:Higs Logo.svg

    Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

    It was really helpful of you to upload :File:Higs Logo.svg, but in order to keep new images, we need to know their exact source and copyright status.

    If you can [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:File:Higs Logo.svg}}&action=edit edit the description page] and add that information, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

    Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:06, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

    Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

    Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
