Userboxes

edit

You don't really have to make userboxes (unless you want to), because there are already a lot that have been created. If you go to WP:Userboxes#Existing_Userboxes, you can browse through all the different categories of userboxes, and use the tags given to put them on your userpage. -- Natalya 11:21, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

{{Helpme}}

edit

Hi, I see you've inserted the {{Helpme}} tag. Can I help you with something? --Pilot|guy  01:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

yes thanks I wanted to insert a userbox but Natalya or someone like that didn't answer me properly, Australian Jezza

Just insert whatever boxes you want between {{boxboxtop|Title goes here}} and {{Boxboxbottom}}. Here's an example:

{{boxboxtop|userboxes}} {{User:Feureau/UserBox/ProudWikipedian}} {{Boxboxbottom}}

Will give you...

Is this what you mean? --Pilot|guy  01:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Okay, that was a bit helpful but I don't know how to do other ones cause I stuffed up that one --Australian Jezza 01:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

thanks anyway--Australian Jezza 01:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

No problem I also added {{boxboxtop}} and |} for you, just put your userboxes in between them. It also seems you're trying to add a userbox that doesn't exist... --Pilot|guy  01:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

</nowiki> thank you so much you are the best!--Australian Jezza 01:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

No problem. --Pilot|guy  01:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

sorry to be a bother could you see if you could add two more userboxes for me????--Australian Jezza 01:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sure. By th way, you may with to use WP:BABEL instead for languages. --Pilot|guy  01:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Helpme - July 22

edit

I noticed you used {helpme} but didn't ask a question. What is the problem (use {helpme} again when you ask the question)? Keep in mind that {helpme} is for building the encyclopedia, that excludes userpages and signatures.--Commander Keane 11:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

i was wondering how to add a picture to Cebuano (language article)

This is where the process is detailed. If the picture hasn't been uploaded to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Commons you will need to do that first. Please read Wikipedia:Uploading images for more info on that process.—WAvegetarian(talk) 01:23, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Swpdalton.jpeg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Swpdalton.jpeg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Kapampangan

edit

Well, my boyfriend is from Angeles City and all his friends and family always use Kapampangan rather than Tagalog, so it won't help me understand them if I speak Tagalog. Lgriot 13:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Topbar1.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Topbar1.gif. 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) 16:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Pinoy TV

edit
 

The article Pinoy TV has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Local cable show of limited notability. Little significant coverage from independent reliable sources - most search returns outside primary sources are Wiki mirrors and social media sites.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175

edit

Dear Australian Jezza,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines#The Cybercrime Prevention Act, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,
