Hey, are you still looking for someone to 'adopt' you? I've been around here for a couple of years now, and I bet I could help you out. Check out my user page for more information about me, and let me know on my talk page. Happy editing, tiZom (2¢) 20:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer. I could really use the help. The main reason I put the request up is that I found myself spending a lot of time reading "help" pages and not figuring out how to do something. I think it would help to have someone I can ask who would either know the answer or send me to the right place. malatesta 17:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
In case that is not clear enough, I wholeheartedly accept. thanks malatesta 17:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi folks. I'm slowly pruning Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, so I've changed malatesta's {{ adoptme}} tag to {{ adoptee}}, since it looks like everything's going well here. =) — coel acan — 06:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, my first question. I am trying to upload an image for Bisbee Deportation and am confused by which category I should use as far as copyright licensing. I found a link on the page where the image is hosted: http://aquarius.library.arizona.edu/exhibits/bisbee/copyright.html which gives info on copyright. Can I upload one of these images? thanks malatesta 20:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Here's the link to the photo I want to use: http://www.library.arizona.edu/exhibits/bisbee/primarysources/photographs/deportation.html The caption says that it belongs to the Arizona Historical Society(AHS). I was rereading the copyright info on the page and it said that the images could be used for educational purposes. Could that be construed as meaing its ok for wikipedia? malatesta 17:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Link didnt copy correctly, but I want to use the 4th from the left. malatesta 17:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed that you're working a lot to revert vandalism. VandalProof is a browser that is specifically designed for that. It lets you view revisions in real time, shows key words that might indicate vandalism, and lets you roll back to previous revisions. You'll need 250 edits in the article space (i.e. not user pages, talk pages, etc. - just the articles) to qualify for it. Once you do, you can just follow the directions on the page. And PS - You can check your edit count with this link: [1] Hope this helps! tiZom (2¢) 04:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I would like to use it but I usually edit while at work (they get what they pay for which is very little) and I doubt the IT fascists would like it. A question though, I tried to nominate for deletion Michael Aaron McGowan and added it to the articles for deletion page put it didn't look right after I did it. What did I do wrong? malatesta 21:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, how're things going? Just wanted to tell you that I've been following your lead in doing a lot of counter-vandalism stuff recently, and I found a script that really helps out with it. If you use Firefox, then check out Wikipedia:Twinkle. If you save the script to your .js file (instructions are on the page), all it takes is a click, and it rolls back the edits to the last user before the vandal. It's neat, and I've been using it quite a lot. If you're interested, let me know, and I can help install it for you. tiZom (2¢) 17:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The media file you uploaded as File:Dryriver1.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).
