In my opinion, the Swedish project wouldn't be suitable at all. Roxman isn't a Swedish writer. She was merely born in Sweden. That's not the same thing. Her family and surname are Scottish. Smilesofasummernight (talk) 21:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)--Smilesofasummernight (talk) 21:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Tomas e (talk) 21:07, 1 August 2010 (UTC) Thanks, Tomas. I add 4 tildes when I'm asked to -- that means, not always. Will bear what you say in mind. Username and time seem to crop up quite automatically anyway, or have I got this wrong?Smilesofasummernight (talk) 22:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

File:Susanna Roxman in London.jpg

You uploaded this image recently but did not add an actual copyright tag which is necessary for your image to be kept. Your statement "Uncopyrighted" is not enough because there are several free licence that can be used and we need to know under which licence the image has been released. ww2censor (talk) 01:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm not sure what "licence" means here. The work is my own, so I don't need anybody else's permission to use the pic. It can be used by anyone. It's what's known as a free image. Smilesofasummernight (talk) 13:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

Haven't seen this comment until now. I'm not sure how you add a copyright tag -- could you advise me, please? I do know that the photo is uncopyrighted, because the photographer waived his copyright so that the photo could be used here, & he won't need or claim this copyright again. I think it would be a pity to remove the pic, as it enhances the appearance of the page.

I haven't uploaded any other picture on the Wikipedia.

Best,

PS It seems, now, that a copyright licence was obtained for this picture on 28 October last year. smilesofasummernight Smilesofasummernight (talk) 14:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

the problem was that you didn't provide a release in a form that wikipedia recognises and the various people who ran across this were in to much of a hurry to work out what was going on. I've sorted this out but in future it is best to add a license via the dropdown box on the image upload page. If that doesn't work you need to add a template for the image licence of your choice to the image page. In this case it would appear the the apropriate template would have been {{cc-by-3.0}} which I have now added (along with undeleting the image. If I can be of any further assitance please let me know at User talk:Geni.©Geni 15:10, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

While Geni added a copyright tag to the image, your upload summary states "it can be freely used by anyone, anywhere. Uncopyrighted" which I would interpret as placing the image into the public domain. In that case the more accurate licence would be {{PD-self}} and if that is your wish you should change the copyright tag in the image file to reflect this desire. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 20:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Geni and Ww2censor,

Thanks for your messages. Glad the problem seems to be solved now. I had never added a photo to the Wikipedia before, and it was rather difficult. I obtained, by email, the copyright licence from the Wikipedia already last autumn, and thought that was that. I didn't realize that the code had to be added to the Wikipedia page. Well, one learns by trial and error (trial and terror), I suppose. Many thanks for your help and patience!

Please stop adding red links to Jessica (given name)

Headline pretty much says it all. Lists of people associated with a name should only include those who have Wikipedia articles or other evidence of notability. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 13:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Reply to your question about citing.

Since the Susanna Roxman talk page was already getting long and since the question was really a more general question about citing, I am replying here. For instruction on how to cite things on Wikipedia see WP:CITE. This will give an overview of the methods. Specifically speaking to your question, the footnote indicators (such as the superscripted [4], etc.) are created by having a <ref></ref> tag somewhere. For instance, putting in <ref>some book information</ref> puts a footnote indicator in the article and puts "some book information" under the References section next to the corresponding number. If you want to reuse a citation that is already in the article, check out WP:NAMEDREFS. Basically, if the reference already has a name= field on it, it can be reused. Example: on the Roxman page, a reference was <ref name=Poesin>''Poesin hos Författarcentrum Syd''. Forfattarcentrum Syd (Authors´Centre South), Malmo 2006.</ref> Since that had the name=Poesin, you could reuse that by putting in <ref name=Poesin /> next to what you want to cite (note that you don't have to put all the other info in, just the ref tag and the name with a closing forward slash). Hope that helps. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:31, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Poetry Salzburg Review, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Armstrong (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:51, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Yes, I added a very few things on the page "Poetry Salzburg Review". I inserted the name, on the list of contributors, of Mimi Khalvati, as she has work in the current issue and is a very well known writer, with a Wikipedia article of her own. I certainly didn´t mean to add a link; what I did with the name "Michael Armstrong" on the list was simply (when editing) to add those four square brackets that really should be there.Smilesofasummernight (talk) 13:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Since that was an automated message, I don't know if anyone from the bot watches for replies/questions like that. So, I thought I'd reply. Basically, you wikilinked the name Michael Armstrong (put the brackets around the name). Unfortunately, that link went not to a specific article on any person, but to a disambiguation page that links to several different possible people. That is what the notice is for. The bot is just saying that it needs you (or anyone really) to correct that and is warning you to be more careful in the future about wikilinking so that the links do not go to these dab pages, but to specific articles. I have corrected that link now, so don't worry about this one. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 16:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for correcting that link. Of course I didn´t realize it´s a link; I just thought something was missing that should be there, as the other names had those brackets around them.Smilesofasummernight (talk) 21:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
