Greetings Nadav, I hate to bother you with this but whenever you have time could you translate the Abboud article from Hebrew to English. I've noticed the Hebrew article is much richer in text, but I have no knowledge of the Hebrew script. I would really appreciate you doing this favor for me and of course wikipedia. Cheers! --Al Ameer son 19:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for translating the article, I almost forgot I asked you. Thanks so much and thankfully we didn't miss the opportunity. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is a picture a character needed to understand the text. how can i tell if it is under copyright and if it is how can i use that picture in wikipedia, do i need a liscence, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 18:03, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should assume all images you find are not free ("copyrighted") unless it's specifically written that they are in the public domain or are protected by the GFDL or a similar free license. I think adding a picture to show what a character looks like is ok. Pick the screenshot option on the upload page. From the Licensing drop-down box, select "Computer game or video game screenshot." If you need further help with uploading, you can ask me a follow up question, or else you can check the help page or the image use policy. Best, nadav (talk) 18:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what is a template and how do i get one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.157.216 (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remember to log in when you want to edit. I assume this is user:Frank polizzi? A template on wikipedia (in this case) is a pre-written message that you can just plug in. This helps you save time in coming up with a good message. Templates can also do some other tasks, but I won't get into that (Help:Template has more info). If you are talking about the license info templates, you can find the entire list of them at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. To use one, edit the image page of an image you uploaded (It will be something like Image:Cow.jpg) and add the code for the template (it will be something in curly brackets, like {{Non-free screenshot}}. But instead of all this, you can just select the appropriate licensing from the drop-down box on the image upload form; the correct license template will automatically be added to the image page.

Templates can be used in other places besides image pages. See Wikipedia:Template messages for a listing of templates. nadav (talk) 18:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried get editing a picture to a article and it said do not upload images on web sites and image search engines. why won't it let me get the picture.Frank polizzi (talk) 18:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more specific about what exactly is happening. All I can do is tell you the steps that I expect would work:

1. Click on "Upload file" in the navigation pane on the left side of the wikipedia page.
2. Click on the link in the item "It is a screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"
3. Ignore everything you see now. Scroll down until you see the form.
4. Click the "Browse..." button and find on your hard drive the picture you wish to upload
5. Type in a useful, concise name for the picture in the "Destination filename" field
6. In the summary field, write exactly where you found the image (with the Internet address). Include the name of the company that made the video game, a description of the picture, and a fair use rationale (look at examples to get a sense of what a good rationale looks lie. E.g. at Image:Mario.png, Image:6.5Supergirls.jpg, Image:Action Comics -1 June 1938.jpg)
7. From the licensing drop-down list, select "Computer game or video game screenshot"
8. Click upload file.

That should work. Tell me if it doesn't, but be extremely specific about what went wrong. nadav (talk) 19:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Before i uploaded the image, it said a image by the the same name was recently deleted. where do i get my uploaded picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 19:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you successfully added Image:Chain chomp.jpg. Now you just need to add a fair use rationale, and then you can insert the image into an article. To add the rationale, you have to edit the image page (Image:Chain chomp.jpg). Images without rationales are deleted soon after they are uploaded. Useful tip: to see all the images you've uploaded, look at your upload log: [1] (you can get to it by clicking "Logs" from the toolbox at the left. The "Logs" link will appear whenever you are viewing a user page) nadav (talk) 19:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do you add one of those rationale thing to your image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 19:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. On the image page Image:Chain chomp.jpg, click the "edit this page" tab at the top.
2. After the "Summary" section, add the following text:

== Fair use rationale for ARTICLE NAME article==
# It is low resolution.
# It does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the game in any way.
# Depicts subject discussed in article.
# The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

but change ARTICLE NAME to the article in which you want to use the image. Also please feel free to add more details about how you want to use the picture and why it's ok. Base it on example images I gave above. Afterwards, save the page and you're done. nadav (talk) 19:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok do you mean edit it with an external application if you do I tried that and when it opened up it said cannot read file does not support file type. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 20:03, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand now sorry for forgetting to signFrank polizzi (talk) 20:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

do i have to wait to use the picture? If so please tell me.Frank polizzi (talk) 20:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, you shouldn't wait. In fact, unused pictures of this type get deleted if they are not used in an article. nadav (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Would you please take a look at my remarks here to the Blue Line map? Could you fix the errors? Thanks. DrorK (talk) 12:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nadav, I wonder if you could have a look at the Gilo article, which has been turned into a battleground by some agenda pusher. Thanks.--Gilabrand (talk) 06:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Bliss logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File:BlueLine2.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:BlueLine.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:BlueLine.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 14:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Nadav1,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
