My current signature is " [[User:Perfecto|Perfecto]] " and I've set it at "raw". I keep it short so as not to confuse anyone editing the source. I'm happy you asked. -- Perfecto 22:02, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your note at Wikipedia_talk:Help_desk#Help_with_images_from_the_Commons. The image is showing up, you just changed the file extension by accident. The file at commons is a jpg so the file here is a jpg too. See: Image:Lily3.jpg
BTW, it's best if you can put your image in as many categories in commons as possible, to help other people find it. You could start with Category:Dogs.

Hi. Sorry I missed your note. Glad you got your signature worked out. - Tεxτurε 15:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
So you still only have one script in your monobook. For Live Preview, you simply need to go to User:Pilaf/monobook.js and copy-paste all that code into your own, before refreshing the browser cache. jnothman talk 08:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
"I'm not sure how this free course thing works, so please tell me at my talk page" (source)
The "free course thing" is very much in flux. The Wikimedia board of directors feels that Wikiversity should not be a collection of online couses. In my view, Wikiversity should be a place that promotes learning through good wiki editing. For a "cell biology course" this would mean that participants in the course work on (edit) wiki articles that will provide a learning experience for the participants. This would create conditions for "learn by doing" and help improve Wikipedia at the same time. So I guess if there are aspects of biology that you want to learn about, we could find some related Wikipedia articles and start working on them. --JWSchmidt 14:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, it's a big mess right now. It used to be a straight alphabetical list, and now it's in transition to a list organized by medium. The transition isn't going particularly well, though — it's slow, and one of the main contributors isn't a native speaker of English so a lot of his work needs to be done over again. As for the size of the list — it used to be even bigger before I split List of historical people portrayed as villains off. (Once we finish the organization we can talk about further splits, but for now we're just trying to finish getting it into sections.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 16:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Please vote to keep my image on Wikipedia. You may voice your opinion on whether or not to have the image deleted at [Dec 10th images]. I also wanted to let you know that it looks like my WBC personal subpage will remain on Wikipedia.--JuanMuslim 1m 22:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Your work in creating subcategories for [[Category:Logos]] is admirable. However, unless you change the copyright tag on the individual image files from ((logo)), the image will appear both in the logos category and in the subcategory you created. Unfortunately, this doesn't help to decrease the size of the logos category. I have created a subcategory for radio logos (called [[Category:Radio logos]]), and I have created a new copyright tag for the images (called Template:Radiologo). All of the images with this tag go into the radio logos subcategory without also going into the logos category. --Hillrhpc 22:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Just so you know, some people may not like the fact that you use an image in your signature. It has been said to create unnecessary server strain. Just thought I'd make you aware. See you around. --LV (Dark Mark) 16:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
MERRY CHRISTMAS, JedOs! Hope it's a wonderful one! (happy New Year, too!)--ViolinGirl♪ 13:13, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Pleas dont remove legitimately placed CSD tags. It is not allowed in the rules. THanks!--Light current 00:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
the tippmann article looks excellent, way to clean that up!
actually, my brother, rshuflin is planning on doing some stuff about 98 custom, which he owns. I will ask him if he can get it in there soon.

Hello JedOs, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Tippmann logo.jpg) was found at the following location: User:JedOs/NEWTippmann. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 01:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ak-107.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 02:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Yellowtailshiraz.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 18:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to ((inactive)) and/or ((historical)) status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ShimanoLogo.gif. 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. Alpta 21:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CurryCollegeMascot.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.
