Links/Targets
[edit]Is it possible to have an internal link that directs to a specific target on another Wiki page? The reason I ask is because, for example, a character listing that has a red link because a standalone Wiki does not exist, could be part of a larger article encompassing several characters of the sort. Hence, linking to that target would help streamline internal links to a degree. RabidPanda V 00:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed that you posted this at Wikipedia talk:Contact us. First, if you read that page, it was not the proper place to ask this question. Second, it is possible to link to a specific section of an article, as follows:
- To link to the section "History" on the article about Wikipedia, you can type [[Wikipedia#History]]. If, then, you want the link to appear to readers to say the history of Wikipedia, you would add [[Wikipedia#History|the history of Wikipedia]], which results in this link: the history of Wikipedia. I hope this helps, and happy editing! Timrem 23:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Punctuation
[edit]Not for one second did I ever take it as a personal attack. You wanted to get this right and you were (and still are, quite rightly) venting your dismay at the possibility Wikipedia style might require something so strange with regard to punctuation. I recently found out a high school teacher taught my sons to put punctuation outside the quotation marks the same way. I have no idea why she taught them that. She was teaching long before Wikipedia was around. Even though I understand the logic of saying, "The comma isn't part of the title," I don't get the principle behind contradicting every style guide (MLA, APA, whatever) I've ever had to follow. So, while I'll do things the Wikipedia way for now because it's their playground, I also support your interest in pursuing the issue on the larger scale. Doczilla 19:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
"Skyblue" vs "Sky blue"
[edit]It's just white for me without the space. I do not know why this would be happening to you that it's not colored. —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bruce Timm Joker.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Bruce Timm Joker.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:General PR Logo.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:General PR Logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ejfetters 12:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:General PR Logo.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:General PR Logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ejfetters 12:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:General PR Logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:General PR Logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
