Hi Chzz,
As Pattabhi Jois died recently, I'd like to update his description page . . . how do I insert a picture of him from my file with some basic information about him. I have several sources who have had first hand experiences with him.

Chzz, I think that you should be nominated for admin. tools. I really think that you have done an outstanding job as a user and REALLY think that you would have the support of the whole community, seeing that you help everyone out. You are all over all the helpme requests and on this IRC. I would be honored to nominated if you would just allow me.

Hi Chzz,
Thanks for your message. I confess I am puzzled by some of the jargon and it seems rather complicated to contribute material to Wikipedia. I am particularly interested in African plants and have photos of many that are mentioned in Wikipedia. However I don't see how to upload them on to the relevant species page. Would be grateful for any help you can give me.
Thanks

[[File:Unidentified Gazania cultivar 5.jpg|thumb|Gazania]]
.I'm not an admin but I removed the A7 request from that article. There is a claim to notability in there, so it's not a speedy. How far it would get at AfD, I wouldn't like to speculate but I thought it was worth dropping you a line since you contested the speedy. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
First thanks for your help with uploading images. I tried writing some text for Aframomum zambesiacum as I could find no entry for this species but then couldn't see how to add 2 images to the text. I was told I wasn't authorized to do this! However, using the link you gave me, I managed to upload 3 photos, two of this species, and was asked to categorise them. I tried to use "Plants" but this didn't seem to work. How can I link them to the text? As you suggested I have added my name to the group dealing with plants. Thanks again for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jawleyford ( talk • contribs) 14:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

{{Category:Plants|year=2009|month=May|day=21}}
...with this edit - this worked, but came up with the following messages;
Category:Categories requiring diffusion|Aframomum angustifolium fruit.jpg
This category is for various common plant aspects.
Now, I'm not very hot on the Biology, but I figured that, as a member of the plant Kingdom, the former category would be appropriate, so I replaced;
{{Category:Plants|year=2009|month=May|day=21}}
...with...
[[Category:Plantae]]
...with this edit. This seems to have worked, and satisfied the requirements, so I think all is well. Maybe the other category is appropriate too, I don't know. Perhaps you could make similar changes to the other files yourself? Have a go, anyway, and if you get stuck please ask me again.
So - those files are now available to add to any articles that you wish, or to try out in your user area. As an example, I have added them to User:Jawleyford/test - and you have a link to that test page in the welcome message on your talk page. If you edit the test page, you'll see how I did it; it's very simple. Cheers,

Chzz, more questions for you! Please reply here, & I'll check back - ta.
Q1. Could you enlighten me as to how you distinguish between the two?
For instance,
this AIV gives us
this WHOIS and
this RDNS - fine - except I've never seen the latter 2 animals before, & know not how to interpret them.
How then do you determine whether the IP address is a static one or a dynamic one?
Q2. How could I have achieved the above "this AIV" link, without the link symbol appearing after it?
Q3. How could I have achieved the newlines here, without using < b r >s?

The 'squiggle' is because you used an external link. Compare and contrast these;

I've written this new article, William Windsor (goat); I am doing all that I can to develop it, but I need assistance. I have sought references from books, etc, so the background info needs expansion. There are comments on the talk page, describing how it could be developed; I have spent time sourcing referencing information, but some work is required to get it into shape, and to incorporate it into the article. The prose needs work too... and there are plenty of references out there to add to the article.
I would like to get it up to the B-level, at least; any assistance with improving the article, or feedback on how this could be achieved, would be greatly appreciated. Chzz ► 23:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the note. Though I just created an account, I'm a long time Wikipedia user. I'm only making a few grammatical and technical edits for now and only about things that I know well (i.e. Beer - 10 years as a professional brewer, LISP - professional LISP programming experience going back 20 years, and Ambigrams - long time designer). I will be putting up an article or two once I've got my bearings (and can upload). For some reason I always felt it might be weird to write about the brewery while it was still a going concern (it closed in 2006) - but now there's no vested interest, it's just for posterity.
Alright, time for bed. Thanks again.

The problem is WP:NFCC2. The photo is a recent photo by a photo agency. They take those photos specifically so people will pay them to use the photos to illustrate things.

Thank you for your message Chzz. I don't think Campbellgirl reads either her own Talk page ( talk) or the discussion page for " The Takeaway." If you look at Campbellgirl's talk file you will see that she has inserted several PRI press releases into Wikipedia articles, and her warning for deletion also had to do with a radio program. I don't think it is simply my jaundiced perspective, there are people trying to suppress any sort of realistic view of this program, and these are mostly people with something to gain from its success. If you can find a way to discuss this with her I would appreciate your trying, since I don't think she will respond to me through either of the avenues you mention. I already had an entire subhead on the discussion page for "The Takeaway" talking about Campbellgirl and her previous vandalism of the page.

Hi Chzz,
As Pattabhi Jois died recently, I'd like to update his description page . . . how do I insert a picture of him from my file with some basic information about him. I have several sources who have had first hand experiences with him.
Thanks for the support.

Chzz, I think that you should be nominated for admin. tools.

You are all over all the helpme requests and on this IRC. I would be honored to nominated if you would just allow me.

Hi Chzz,
Thanks for your message. I confess I am puzzled by some of the jargon and it seems rather complicated to contribute material to Wikipedia. I am particularly interested in African plants and have photos of many that are mentioned in Wikipedia. However I don't see how to upload them on to the relevant species page. Would be grateful for any help you can give me.
Thanks

[[File:Unidentified Gazania cultivar 5.jpg|thumb|Gazania]]
.I'm not an admin but I removed the A7 request from that article. There is a claim to notability in there, so it's not a speedy. How far it would get at AfD, I wouldn't like to speculate but I thought it was worth dropping you a line since you contested the speedy. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
First thanks for your help with uploading images. I tried writing some text for Aframomum zambesiacum as I could find no entry for this species but then couldn't see how to add 2 images to the text. I was told I wasn't authorized to do this! However, using the link you gave me, I managed to upload 3 photos, two of this species, and was asked to categorise them. I tried to use "Plants" but this didn't seem to work. How can I link them to the text? As you suggested I have added my name to the group dealing with plants. Thanks again for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jawleyford ( talk • contribs) 14:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

{{Category:Plants|year=2009|month=May|day=21}}
...with this edit - this worked, but came up with the following messages;
Category:Categories requiring diffusion|Aframomum angustifolium fruit.jpg
This category is for various common plant aspects.
Now, I'm not very hot on the Biology, but I figured that, as a member of the plant Kingdom, the former category would be appropriate, so I replaced;
{{Category:Plants|year=2009|month=May|day=21}}
...with...
[[Category:Plantae]]
...with this edit. This seems to have worked, and satisfied the requirements, so I think all is well. Maybe the other category is appropriate too, I don't know. Perhaps you could make similar changes to the other files yourself? Have a go, anyway, and if you get stuck please ask me again.
So - those files are now available to add to any articles that you wish, or to try out in your user area. As an example, I have added them to User:Jawleyford/test - and you have a link to that test page in the welcome message on your talk page. If you edit the test page, you'll see how I did it; it's very simple. Cheers,

Chzz, more questions for you! Please reply here, & I'll check back - ta.
Q1. Could you enlighten me as to how you distinguish between the two?
For instance,
this AIV gives us
this WHOIS and
this RDNS - fine - except I've never seen the latter 2 animals before, & know not how to interpret them.
How then do you determine whether the IP address is a static one or a dynamic one?
Q2. How could I have achieved the above "this AIV" link, without the link symbol appearing after it?
Q3. How could I have achieved the newlines here, without using < b r >s?

The 'squiggle' is because you used an external link. Compare and contrast these;

I've written this new article, William Windsor (goat); I am doing all that I can to develop it, but I need assistance. I have sought references from books, etc, so the background info needs expansion. There are comments on the talk page, describing how it could be developed; I have spent time sourcing referencing information, but some work is required to get it into shape, and to incorporate it into the article. The prose needs work too... and there are plenty of references out there to add to the article.
I would like to get it up to the B-level, at least; any assistance with improving the article, or feedback on how this could be achieved, would be greatly appreciated. Chzz ► 23:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the note. Though I just created an account, I'm a long time Wikipedia user. I'm only making a few grammatical and technical edits for now and only about things that I know well (i.e. Beer - 10 years as a professional brewer, LISP - professional LISP programming experience going back 20 years, and Ambigrams - long time designer). I will be putting up an article or two once I've got my bearings (and can upload). For some reason I always felt it might be weird to write about the brewery while it was still a going concern (it closed in 2006) - but now there's no vested interest, it's just for posterity.
Alright, time for bed. Thanks again.

Thank you for your message Chzz. I don't think Campbellgirl reads either her own Talk page ( talk) or the discussion page for " The Takeaway." If you look at Campbellgirl's talk file you will see that she has inserted several PRI press releases into Wikipedia articles, and her warning for deletion also had to do with a radio program. I don't think it is simply my jaundiced perspective, there are people trying to suppress any sort of realistic view of this program, and these are mostly people with something to gain from its success. If you can find a way to discuss this with her I would appreciate your trying, since I don't think she will respond to me through either of the avenues you mention. I already had an entire subhead on the discussion page for "The Takeaway" talking about Campbellgirl and her previous vandalism of the page.
