Hi Frances. Could you please take a look at the Manual of Style and its sub-pages and note our common formatting guidelines. I notice you have been adding external links rather messily to Adelaide suburb articles. Thanks, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. I see you've already fixed them. Happy editing, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look over them. My earlier comment is withdrawn, I noticed you've started to fix them. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:53, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Just follow this link, add your name, and save. Good to have another on board. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 07:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Photos of Bendigo[edit]

Just a note to let you know I've replied to your queries of uploading photos of Bendigo on my talk page. —Felix the Cassowary (ɑe hɪː jɐ) 10:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary[edit]

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 22:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

Hi Frances - I noticed the new photos you added to Williamstown and Footscray. I can't help thinking that the Williamstown photos are quite picturesque, and the Footscray ones, are, well... I'm not sure if you live in the area, but what about the view over Footscray Park and the Maribyrnong River towards Flemington racecourse, or the boats moored on the Footscray side of the Maribyrnong River near the Community Arts Centre, or the Footscray Mall, or the view from the old Ammunition Factory site towards the city, or the view from the E.J. Whitten stand towards the city, or the old town hall, or.... (anyway, one photo is better than none!) ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 11:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frances - I didn't mean to discredit anything - I too love photography of old industrial sites, especially that which you find around Spotswood. In hindsight, it is a terrific shot that you included - I guess I reacted to the stereotype, you know, Footscray being industrial, etc. Let's have a competition - first one to add another shot of Footscray wins! ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 01:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates[edit]

hi,please make sure that you follow the instruction in the begining of the page in Nomination procedure. There was a small mistake, i have corrected it. --vineeth 08:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the Nicobar image doesn't exist now - I don't know why, but there may have been copyright/tagging issue, jimfbleak 14:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you're right, so I have no idea what's happening - I'm a computer moron though, so I don't know - I'll see if the picture creator can fix it. jimfbleak 06:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tasmania[edit]

I read on the news that there was this thing in Tasmania, where this animal shelter gives you beer if you bring samples of a certain type of animal. What is this animal? --Knotted 18:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NewsMail story on Wikipedia[edit]

Hello Frances, my name is Dan Nancarrow, I'm a journalist for the Bundaberg NewsMail. We are looking to do a story on Wikipedia and specifically the Bundaberg wikipedia entry in the aim of encouraging Bundaberg people to contribute to the site.

From your history on the site I see you used to live in Budnaberg and have also contributed to the page on the city.

I would love to hear from you by phone when you have a spare moment so you could either help me with the story or know someone else related to Bundaberg that could.

My number is 4153 8507.

Thanks for your time.

Dan Nancarrow Reporter Bundaberg NewsMail

Dark L[edit]

Hi again Frances. I just saw your changes to South Australian English and dark L. This is interesting but we need a credible published source/reference for this. I'm not saying you're wrong, but Wikipedia has a rule against original research. Thanks, Grant65 | Talk 02:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I didn't know how to do it myself until now, but I discovered that you need some code in the references section to make them appear. Grant65 | Talk 13:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:DSC02593.JPG listed for deletion[edit]

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:DSC02593.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

License tagging for Image:BramstonBeach.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:BramstonBeach.JPG. 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. 01:05, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Cairns[edit]

Hi, re Cairns page, I see that you have a nice pic of the Daintree rainforest on there. With due respect, I don't think it should be on the Cairns page as it not necessarily in Cairns. I was wondering if you don't mind me deleting it as it already is rightly on the Daintree Rainforest page.

Sure, no worries. -- Adz|talk 12:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Emerald dove[edit]

I am fine with the removal. But I was hoping that the image would help someone understand how many hundreds of that brilliant bird die due to that strange invention of humans - glass. Does that happen in other places ? I don't know. Shyamal 10:01, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When you upload your own photographs...[edit]

Please include a suitable license template when you upload photographs, even if you write in the description that you took them yourself. This is because we need to determine precisely the type of license you, the photograph's creator, have decided to release your work under.

You can choose an appropriate license template at upload time by clicking on its entry in the "Licensing" box in the upload page. For photographs you made by yourself, you can choose from

GFDL (self-made), Template: {{GFDL-self}}
Own work, copyleft: Multi-license with GFDL and Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 2.5 ..., Template: {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5}}
Own work, attribution required (Multi-license with GFDL and ..., Template: {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-2.0}}

I have added the {{GFDL-presumed}} license template on Image:BramstonBeach.JPG, because I notice from your talk page you have a history of making Australian photographic contributions. Please decide on a suitable license with which to release your work, and replace the GFDL-presumed template on that image to one of the templates in bold, in the above list. Regards, Kimchi.sg 01:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meetup on 23rd April 2007[edit]

Hi Frances76,

Apologies if you're already aware of this, but I'd like to let you know that the second Adelaide Meetup will take place on Monday 23rd of April at ZUMA Caffe, 56 Gouger Street, Adelaide. The meeting is at 7:30am for breakfast with Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales. Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 2 for more details and indicate if you might attend.

Unspecified source for Image:BadPregnantDay.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:BadPregnantDay.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 03:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 03:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Brown cuckoo dove.JPG[edit]

File:Brown cuckoo dove.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Macropygia phasianella (Brown Cuckoo-dove)-6.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:Macropygia phasianella (Brown Cuckoo-dove)-6.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 16:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Budgie pic[edit]

Hi,

I'm wondering if I can use your great image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Budgerigar_Female_Benno.JPG

as part of my language learning software project? (maybe even as part of the title or cover image?) I see it's share alike but not sure if I can use in a possible commercial setting or as part of the main image on a site.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture[edit]

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ThursdayIsland.JPG). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Image copyright problem with File:GGumboot2.JPG[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:GGumboot2.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. ✗plicit 04:01, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
