User talk:8bitW

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your work on our Betrayal at Krondor article. It adds a lot of in-depth information that greatly improves the article. However, I urge you to read our neutral point of view policy before making more substatial contributions to Wikipedia. Sentences like "The graphics are the only downside of this game. Mostly it uses a funny 3-D engine. This is pre-Quake, pre-Doom so it's not very pretty" are not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 23:42, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office hostage crisis reintroduced vandalism that had been reverted. Please be more careful in the future. Natalie 01:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I wasn't intending to be overbearing. I was just letting you know what happened, in case you weren't aware. Natalie 01:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. It was just a coincidence that I looked at the history probably immediately after you edited. The admin rollback button is also a faster way to revert than the undo button. Natalie 01:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Michelle Undeletion

OK. I will undelete it, but if you have concerns with the notability, you should talk to Spebi, who originally placed the prod tag there (I just went around and deleted all of the expired prods). jj137 ^♠ 15:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GrimmC. I've posted my reply to your query to my talk page. Cheers, Spebi 21:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GN'R photo

You can upload them on to wikipedia, but just give me a link on my talk page to them. Nice job finding good ones. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 00:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those are all great pictures, you could probably use all of them in the article if you have the copywrite. I personnaly have never uploaded a band image. You need wikicommons I believe, ask User:M3tal H3ad he's good with this stuff, and alot of other stuff. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 02:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great work for the pictures. The article is still far from GA. There are fact tags and al whole bunch of other stuff. They were a band that was popular before the internet was, so the only good source would be books, there isn't a whole lot on the web. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 21:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, great work! Can you try and get us this picture please? We need a picture of Robin and this is from the same guy the others are from, so there shouldn't be a problem. Funeral 22:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! And the "November Rain" article looks fine; I can't see many weasal words and the thingss that need sources have {{fact}} tags now, so there's no need for the tag at the top of the page. Funeral 20:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

To get photos from flickr and use them on Wikipedia you need the user to change the license of the photo to either Commons Creative Share Alike Attribution or Commons Creative Attribution NOTE: you cannot use ones with "non-commercial" included. The different is that with Share Alike you are given permission to modify the image. The best way to get permission is to send the user flick mail instead of posting on the actual photo. You can see the license in the right-hand column

Once you get permission upload the picture to the Commons website — as that is where freely licensed photos should go. Go to this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload page and select "it is from flickr". From there find the image in your harddisk, name it, then use this tool http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/flinfo.php by inputting the image's ID in (it is in the URL bar when viewing the image, at the end) which automatically creates all the information of description/author/date etc. If i confused you somewhere feel free to ask a question, goodluck. M3tal H3ad (talk) 04:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was something about that the content on Wikipedia links to websites that are commercial. I'm sure you can find the information somewhere on wikicommons. You can e-mail the user for specific use of the photo but changing the license is the easiest and quickest thing to do. M3tal H3ad (talk) 02:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dot-com commercials during Super Bowl XXXIV, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EDS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

June 2017

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Eastmancolor, from its old location at User:8bitW/sandbox/Eastmancolor. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirlTrucker81^{huh? what I've been doing} 17:35, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Eastmancolor concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Eastmancolor, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:36, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Eastmancolor

Hello, 8bitW. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Eastmancolor".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JustaZBguy (talk) 21:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
