User talk:This lousy t-shirt

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, This lousy t-shirt!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File tagging File:New_Years_Orange_Drop_Intercontinental_Miami.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:New_Years_Orange_Drop_Intercontinental_Miami.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:New_Years_Orange_Drop_Intercontinental_Miami.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Signing on talkpages

Hi This lousy t-shirt, I noticed you used something that looked like a signature on someones user talkpage which gave me the impression you made it manually and didn't actualy sign it.

Please read the below:

Please sign your postings

---

Click the "Signature and timestamp"-button to sign your talkpage contributions

As a courtesy to other editors, it is Commons:Signatures policy to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, deletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then automatically be added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.

Hi Krinkle, I noticed that YOU "NOTICED" what was a simple oversight and called attention to that on my user talk page. You might want to "notice" the other messages I signed, since I signed more than one message on more than one user's talk page.

Here's the first one:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chaser&oldid=47574894

Now do you still have the impression I made that manually and didn't actually sign?

Now where is it you "noticed" my oversight? Oh, that's right!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Justass&oldid=47574909

How exactly am I giving you the impression that I "made" that signature manually? I didn't "make" it, it's the one which appears by default. It's not an original manually made signature like the one YOU have, is it? I sent the same message to two people, as you see, and a simple oversight was made in the process.

WELL SEE HERE:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chaser&diff=prev&oldid=47575744

That was my most recent message and you can see it is signed correctly.

Now I recommend you go "NOTICE" somebody else and DO NOT "notice" me anymore.

AND DON'T TRY TO CLAIM THIS ISN'T SIGNED CORRECTLY! This lousy t-shirt (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I was referring to this edit. The other edits you made were indeed signed. You copied the message from the site's view to another page causing it not to be linked, which caused it to look like it was selfmade.

Anyhow, I see that was just a coincidence, sorry for that!

if you don't mind me saying though, I was trying to be helpful in leaving you a friendly notice, for someone who's telling others not to bite newcomers, you seem pretty 'bitey'.

Please stay mellow and take it easy, we're all here for the same common goal, let's work on that, shall we ? –Krinkle^talk 09:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

As such it is a copyright violation. Please read the templates on the File description pages for more information. If you do have permission from the author and he/she agreed to release the photo under these free terms, please ask them to contact COM:OTRS so we can verify that permission (as the word of mouth is hard to verify online). Would no new information come to our attention the file will be deleted in 7 days. If you read this message too late and the file has already been deleted, please do not upload it again. Instead take the permission and license you got and include it in your request for undeletion: Commons:Undeletion requests. Click there to request undeletion. An administrator will review the permission/license and undelete it as soon as possible with the correct license information. Greetings, –Krinkle^talk 09:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
