Hello, Exoskeletor, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you're here, and I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Thanks for your contributions - we need all the help we can get on this project. (That doesn't mean we're desperate though!) I just wanted to introduce you to Wikipedia's advertising policy. Generally, advertisements are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are often deleted. For more specific information, click here. This may apply to your new page about your company, Exoskeletor. I encourage you to clean up the article to a point where it is acceptable Wikipedia material, not just an advertisement. If this is not done relatively soon, I really do have no choice but to list the article as a candidate for deletion, as the policy suggests. Thanks much for understanding.

Well, turns out that the page was already deleted. Better luck next time. For the present time, I would discourage you from recreating the article, unless you have an exceptional circumstance where you need to have the article for some reason. (Advertising is not a reason!) But I still encourage you to hang around - Wikipedia is awesome! Later, zappa.jake (talk) 03:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are so fast that makes me think you are a bot. are you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exoskeletor (talkcontribs)

I'm here. Not a bot - just a fast typist. Thanks for the complement though! -zappa.jake (talk) 04:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Exoskeletor logo.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Exoskeletor logo.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey. I saw this on my watchlist. I fixed the problem for you. See, on Wikimedia (Wikipedia's father project), images cannot be uploaded to the server unless they are legally released to Wikipedia in some way for use. When you upload an image, you must tell people that it is your own work and release it into the public domain for it to stay up. If it is not your work, there are tags allowing you to tell people why it is acceptable for use here (work of government, copyright expired, etc.) I know you created the image and obviously, that your intention was to release it for work here, so I tagged it with {{pd-self}}, meaning that you release the image into the public domain to be used freely.

Copying from forums

[edit]

Wikipedia is supposed to use free content, and anything taken from a forum is presumably copyrighted by the original writer and/or the forum. - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We post links to our sources. We do not copy their material; we write about the information we get from them. - Josh (talk | contribs) 19:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I should add that you should not link to a forum as a source, as forums are not reliable sources. - Josh (talk | contribs) 19:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
