Welcome to Wikipedia ! And thank you for sharing your loving photographs. :-)

I just wanna remind you that according to Wikipedia:Captions, complete sentences are preferred in the image captions. I am not making you do anything, but as an admin here, I thought I should point that out to you. If you like, you may also want to submit your pages to Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing Captions and let the wikipedians there work on the captions.

Happy editing. :-)

Thanks! I didn't know about the complete sentences, and will do my best to make them so for subsequent captions.

Germany#History

Hi, and welcome here!

The history section of country articles is thought to highlight the most important aspects sumarized in a couple of paragraphs (ideally four or five paragraphs of modest length). For most countries, at least for the better known, there are specific articles on history, linked to by the phrase Main article: History of Germany right below the headline. This is outlined in Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries.

In principle, it's our objective that the history section of the country article is a well balanced summary of the history article, but this is a policy that we not always have energy to live up to.

As a rule of thumb, it may be a good policy to remove as much text from the history section of the country article as is added.

best regards!

Image copyright tags

Thanks for uploading Image:NewWestminsterPattullo.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Tagishsimon (talk) 16:27, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I wondered if you could relicence this image, as non-commercial is non-free. Cheers. Burgundavia 16:27, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

Anyone wanting to make commercial use of the image is welcome to ask me, but depending on how they propose to make money with it, I may wish to be compensated. Anyone using it non-commercially is free to go to town. So it's true, it's not free, but that's fine with me. Penmachine (talk) 08:45, Apr 24, 2005 (PDT)

Seeing that Wikipedia is now deleting non-commercial-only images, I have now modified the license to be attribution only. Penmachine (talk) 22:43, Jun 4, 2005 (PDT)

Image:NewWestminsterPattullo.jpg

Thanks for your image! I have copied it to the Wiki Commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:NewWestminsterPattullo.jpg ), so that it can be used in other Wiki projects as well. I would encourage you to post your images in the future to Wiki Commons instead of English Wiki, as they will get wider exposure this way. Vmenkov 08:30, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:BurrardInletFromBarnet.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:BurrardInletFromBarnet.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag.

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:BurrardInletFromBarnet.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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 02:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:BurrardInletFromBarnet.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:BurrardInletFromBarnet.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you just need to say so on the image page. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 13:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

lululemon athletica

Thank you for taking the time to fix up the article, lululemon athletica. You much improved the wording and the content of that paragraph, and I appreciate it. --Yamla (talk) 16:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Yalma. --penmachine (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not quite sure

why you added the See also section to the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section? They are other loosely knit groups of session players, but that belongs, and is probably found, in the session musician article. Carptrash (talk) 16:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are similar sections in other articles, such as for the Wrecking Crew (music), Booker T and the MGs, the Funk Brothers, etc. (some of them I added as well). Those people first learning about the Muscle Shoals Rhythm section are likely to be interested in similar groups of musicians who helped create distinctive sounds. I certainly was when I first learned about them, and Wikipedia is the sort of place where we can learn new related things. Penmachine (talk) 22:02, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it's reason enough for you then it is reason enough for me. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 22:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nikon F-801

Hi, I have been reading some of the Nikon articles. I noticed that you contributed significantly to Nikon F-801 This article and others seem to give a different evolutionary lineage than is implied by the common chart posted at most of the articles. I collect Nikons and have many of these cameras. I'm trying to figure out the evolution of the 35mm AF series, especially the upper end cameras and fill-in the cameras missing from my collection. Here are a few of my nicer AFs: [2] The main collection is at [3] BTW, these are available for free use on WP, and I'm happy to provide a release. I'm not writing much at WP but fully support the project as I can.

Is there a group who is coordinating then Nikon articles at all? Best regards, Kevin --Kevin Murray (talk) 00:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Navarik

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Navarik, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:05, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
