Ok, I uploaded the photo to Wikimedia commons but then I couldn't edit my page because now it's been changed to "semi-protected mode" so nobody can do anything with it but an editor.

Dear Sir or Madam, I note that you placed upon the Mount Rushmore article the refimrpove template. However, you did not state in the Talk section what needed improvement. I did note you also added a citation needed for the line, "The 1980 United States Supreme Court decision United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians ruled that the Sioux had not received just compensation for their land in the Black Hills, which includes Mount Rushmore." Being that it was a Supreme Court decision that stated this in the Wikipedia article United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, which I also mentioned, I did not feel it needed a citation. However, since you did, I added one from the United States Department of Justice. If there is anything else you feel "needs additional citations for verification" as the template you added requests, I would request that you please state the citations you feel are needed in the Talk section, so that others may provide them if possible, or they can remove any content which cannot be cited.

I saw that you removed "and education" a second time after I restored it - and User:KidAd restored it again. Let's talk about this, since you said in your edit summary that it is your practice to remove "and education". You claimed it is "redundant". It absolutely is not redundant; not all education happens during "early life". As KidAd pointed out, Geoffrey Berman was 22 when he graduated from college and 25 when he got his law degree; that is typical, and it isn't exactly "early life". Some people go to graduate school or get advanced degrees when they are well into middle age, and that is also "education". It all goes in this section. -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:19, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Because that's not how the law works. Just calling them is the act of tortious interference. It doesn't mean that it was verified to not be tortious interference since they can say anything they want but it would still be tortious interference under the law. That's how the law works. Gune ( talk) 09:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Because it isn't saying that. verify Pronunciation /ˈverəˌfī/ /ˈvɛrəˌfaɪ/ Translate verify into Spanish
TRANSITIVE VERBverifies, verifying, verified [WITH OBJECT] 1Make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or justified.
The definition of the word verified means the article as written is wrong. Gune ( talk) 20:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Then that means Wikipedia is factually wrong and doesn't know what thwe word verify means. Gune ( talk) 02:30, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I bolded what the word verify means in the dictionary definition. So yes it is definitely factually wrong. Gune ( talk) 07:52, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Greetings and felicitations. I ran across your request while looking for a solution to my own problem, and I seem to have stumbled upon/found an answer. In these cases you need to add the undocumented "event" field, and set both it and the "theme" field to "y" (yes). (I copied this from " Faces of Evil", which the Template:Infobox comics meta series documentation gives as an example, and which happens to have the result you were looking for.) — DocWatson42 ( talk) 08:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
After finding an article for an NFL player linked to Union City High School, I realized that the individual attended a school by that name in Tennessee. I created an article for Union City High School (Tennessee) and in a search on the NCES web site saw that there are several other such schools in the United States. I moved the UCHS article to Union City High School (New Jersey) and have repurposed the UCHS article as a disambiguation page. I have done my best to go through links to UCHS to link to the new, disambiguated article. Please let me know if you have any issues or concerns with how I did this move.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, I saw you changed the variety of English on Horchata to British English, though it was started in ~2004 in American English. I changed it back to American English. I noticed that you said in the comment you were American by the way, so, by the by, I'm British :-) Like to give credit where credit is due!

Okay, I'll start with photos that area already on the Commons.
Free-standing photos To place a photo from the Commons into an article, you need to take its file name, usually with the prefix "File:" right before it, and it place it in between between two sets of opening and closing square brackets, complete with a size parameter (and if you want, a caption and an indication of whether you want it on the left side of the page, since otherwise, photos will show up on the right side of the page by default). This is what the markup looks like when it's empty, with indications of what info goes where:
For an example of a photo I placed in an article in this way, I took this photo of The Boys creator Garth Ennis, and then clicked to edit the " DC Comics section" of his article, and added the following to the top of the article, beneath the heading:
If I had not included the "left" markup, it would have shown up on the right side of the article, like this photo in the Chris Claremont article.
Infobox To place a photo in the Infobox (that sidebar in the upper left corner of many articles), you just place its file name (without the prefix) in the Infobox's image parameter.
To put this photo of Ennis into the Infobox at the top of Garth Ennis article, I just went to the article, clicked on "edit" and then put "6.1.19GarthEnnisByLuigiNovi1.jpg" (without the quotes, of course), right next to the image parameter. If you go there now, you'll see what it looks like.
Galleries Then there are galleries. I should emphasize I learned about how these things worked largely by just going to articles, and seeing what these things looked like in the edit mode, and then copying them. If you asked me to create a gallery or a table from scratch, I wouldn't know how to do it. But I created lots of "List of episodes" articles by just going to an article that had that formatting, copying it, and then replacing it with the content of the new article I wanted to create. That's how I created the List of Pawn Stars episodes article.
Same thing with galleries. Just go to my user page, look at the galleries, and see what the html markup looks like in the edit field. I should point out, however, that there are guidelines for when to use and not use galleries, which are described at WP:GALLERY.
You can upload your own photos to the project, but the Wikimedia Foundation is very strict on what you can upload, particularly where copyright is concerned.
If you want to upload a public domain photo, or your own photos then either enter them into the public domain, or free license them, as I do with mine, go to the Commons, and either use this upload form, or click on "Upload file" in the lefthand sidebar. Please not that you can only upload public domain or free-licensed photos. You cannot upload any photo that do not have the rights to, even if the rights-holder has given you permission. It will be deleted. I once uploaded a photo of Dina Lohan taken by a friend who gave me permission for it, and it was deleted.
If you want to use a copyrighted file in a Wikipedia article, you can only do so if your use of it qualifies for Fair Use, and even then, you have to upload it to Wikipedia. You cannot upload Fair Use images to the Commons, as I mentioned above. Examples of Fair Use images include photo of Demi Moore, which is the topic of its own article. Another example is this other photo of Demi Moore, which in addition to having its own article, is in Demi Moore's own article.
Articles on notable works of visual will often have Fair Use images of those works in them, such as the Miles Morales article, which has an image of him in its Infobox.
Please pay close attention to the non-free rationale beneath each photo on its upload page. You are required to provide that rationale whenever you upload a photo whose use you want to claim is Fair Use, and you're expected to explain that rationale for each article in which it is used.
If you want to upload a Fair Use file, then click on "Upload file" in the lefthand side bar.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further help. Nightscream ( talk) 14:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, recently I added Shane MacGowan to the Irish Roman Catholics category based on a reliable source that was allowed to stay in the article. While the article continues to describe MacGowan as a Catholic, he has been removed from the Irish Roman Catholics category with the reasoning "Rem per BLPCAT - not notable for this." Does this mean atheists like Garth Ennis or David Cronenberg should also be removed from the Irish atheists category as they're not notable as atheists but as a comic book writer and film director, respectively, and should Martin Scorsese be removed from the American Roman Catholics category for the same reason? Or has MacGowan mistakenly been removed from that category? I know you were not involved in editing these articles, I just thought you might know so I've decided to ask you.

It doesn't mean that it was verified to not be tortious interference since they can say anything they want but it would still be tortious interference under the law. That's how the law works. Gune ( talk) 09:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Because it isn't saying that. verify Pronunciation /ˈverəˌfī/ /ˈvɛrəˌfaɪ/ Translate verify into Spanish
TRANSITIVE VERBverifies, verifying, verified [WITH OBJECT] 1Make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or justified.
The definition of the word verified means the article as written is wrong. Gune ( talk) 20:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Then that means Wikipedia is factually wrong and doesn't know what thwe word verify means. Gune ( talk) 02:30, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I bolded what the word verify means in the dictionary definition. So yes it is definitely factually wrong. Gune ( talk) 07:52, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
It doesn't matter what the policy is. Words have meanings. If you can't understand what is written in the dictionary then that is entirely on you and nobody else. Gune ( talk) 00:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nightscream, I got your message about my edits to The Mills At Jersey Gardens. Sorry about the incorrect edits. I am not a expirenced Wikipedia editor like you. I'll be sure not to do stuff like that next time. One question if I edit the caption of my image that I took at The Mills At Jersey Gardens that was on the Wikipedia page for that mall, would that be aceptable to use on The Mills At Jersey Gardens Wikipedia page ? >
Hi Nightscream, Thank You for clearing that up about the Century 21 photo on The Mills At Jersey Gardens wikipedia page, and about photos that better represent shopping complexs. I really apreciate it. Thank You ( Pittsburghmichaels ( talk) 18:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC))

Greetings and felicitations. I ran across your request while looking for a solution to my own problem, and I seem to have stumbled upon/found an answer. In these cases you need to add the undocumented "event" field, and set both it and the "theme" field to "y" (yes). (I copied this from " Faces of Evil", which the Template:Infobox comics meta series documentation gives as an example, and which happens to have the result you were looking for.) — DocWatson42 ( talk) 08:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
After finding an article for an NFL player linked to Union City High School, I realized that the individual attended a school by that name in Tennessee. I created an article for Union City High School (Tennessee) and in a search on the NCES web site saw that there are several other such schools in the United States. I moved the UCHS article to Union City High School (New Jersey) and have repurposed the UCHS article as a disambiguation page. I have done my best to go through links to UCHS to link to the new, disambiguated article. Please let me know if you have any issues or concerns with how I did this move.

Hi, I saw you changed the variety of English on Horchata to British English, though it was started in ~2004 in American English. I changed it back to American English. I noticed that you said in the comment you were American by the way, so, by the by, I'm British :-) Like to give credit where credit is due! Just watching a channel 4 episode about the topic and it piqued my interest. Sanbear ( talk) 21:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Nightscream Hope you are enjoying your time Okay, How do I select the picture for some articles? Can you please guide me through it? Kohcohf ( talk) 14:41, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
1. For living celebrities and other things 2. From Wikimedia commons and outside Kohcohf ( talk) 11:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I'll start with photos that area already on the Commons.
Free-standing photos To place a photo from the Commons into an article, you need to take its file name, usually with the prefix "File:" right before it, and it place it in between between two sets of opening and closing square brackets, complete with a size parameter (and if you want, a caption and an indication of whether you want it on the left side of the page, since otherwise, photos will show up on the right side of the page by default). This is what the markup looks like when it's empty, with indications of what info goes where:
For an example of a photo I placed in an article in this way, I took this photo of The Boys creator Garth Ennis, and then clicked to edit the " DC Comics section" of his article, and added the following to the top of the article, beneath the heading:
If I had not included the "left" markup, it would have shown up on the right side of the article, like this photo in the Chris Claremont article.
Infobox To place a photo in the Infobox (that sidebar in the upper left corner of many articles), you just place its file name (without the prefix) in the Infobox's image parameter.
To put this photo of Ennis into the Infobox at the top of Garth Ennis article, I just went to the article, clicked on "edit" and then put "6.1.19GarthEnnisByLuigiNovi1.jpg" (without the quotes, of course), right next to the image parameter. If you go there now, you'll see what it looks like.
Galleries Then there are galleries. I should emphasize I learned about how these things worked largely by just going to articles, and seeing what these things looked like in the edit mode, and then copying them. If you asked me to create a gallery or a table from scratch, I wouldn't know how to do it. But I created lots of "List of episodes" articles by just going to an article that had that formatting, copying it, and then replacing it with the content of the new article I wanted to create. That's how I created the List of Pawn Stars episodes article.
Same thing with galleries. Just go to my user page, look at the galleries, and see what the html markup looks like in the edit field. I should point out, however, that there are guidelines for when to use and not use galleries, which are described at WP:GALLERY.
You can upload your own photos to the project, but the Wikimedia Foundation is very strict on what you can upload, particularly where copyright is concerned.
If you want to upload a public domain photo, or your own photos then either enter them into the public domain, or free license them, as I do with mine, go to the Commons, and either use this upload form, or click on "Upload file" in the lefthand sidebar. Please not that you can only upload public domain or free-licensed photos. You cannot upload any photo that do not have the rights to, even if the rights-holder has given you permission. It will be deleted. I once uploaded a photo of Dina Lohan taken by a friend who gave me permission for it, and it was deleted.
If you want to use a copyrighted file in a Wikipedia article, you can only do so if your use of it qualifies for Fair Use, and even then, you have to upload it to Wikipedia. You cannot upload Fair Use images to the Commons, as I mentioned above. Examples of Fair Use images include photo of Demi Moore, which is the topic of its own article. Another example is this other photo of Demi Moore, which in addition to having its own article, is in Demi Moore's own article.
Articles on notable works of visual will often have Fair Use images of those works in them, such as the Miles Morales article, which has an image of him in its Infobox.
Please pay close attention to the non-free rationale beneath each photo on its upload page. You are required to provide that rationale whenever you upload a photo whose use you want to claim is Fair Use, and you're expected to explain that rationale for each article in which it is used.
If you want to upload a Fair Use file, then click on "Upload file" in the lefthand side bar.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further help. Nightscream ( talk) 14:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, recently I added Shane MacGowan to the Irish Roman Catholics category based on a reliable source that was allowed to stay in the article. While the article continues to describe MacGowan as a Catholic, he has been removed from the Irish Roman Catholics category with the reasoning "Rem per BLPCAT - not notable for this." Does this mean atheists like Garth Ennis or David Cronenberg should also be removed from the Irish atheists category as they're not notable as atheists but as a comic book writer and film director, respectively, and should Martin Scorsese be removed from the American Roman Catholics category for the same reason? Or has MacGowan mistakenly been removed from that category? I know you were not involved in editing these articles, I just thought you might know so I've decided to ask you.
