Your edits

I have noticed that you have been copying material from an outside website to articles about guns, and I have to ask you to stop doing that. It is protected by copyright, and to use it without an author's permission would violate the copyright laws and Wikipedia policies. (A permission which only extends to Wikipedia is not sufficient, either; all Wikipedia text is under the GFDL license, which permits third-party use, including commercial one.)

In addition, please don't add your personal opinion to articles. Wikipedia has a policy of neutrality and verifiability; contents of articles must be written in a neutral, objective way, and should provide references to reliable sources.

 Reply to Mike Rosoft:

I am sorry that I did not realise that the info that I copied was copyrighted... 2nd, not all the things I write are copied. I put in my own research as well. Lastly, whats the link to your talk page?(Im a beginner)

• Your own "original research" is not appropriate to add to articles, either; see above. Regarding copyright, in fact every work is copyrighted (unless the protection has expired, or the copyright holder has released it into public domain); copyright laws of most countries do not require a work to contain a copyright notice in order to be protected by it, and in fact the website you took the material from did contain one.

  My talk page is User talk:Mike Rosoft; there is a link to it at the top of my user page (the one labelled "discussion"); in addition, there are several "talk page" links in the user page. Finally, you can sign your responses by adding ~~~~ after them.

Oh.Right. Err after I "upload" an image how do I make it appear as an Image? I know its something like [Image:Example] but everytime I do that it appears as Example.png or something like that.Please help! =(

• You didn't upload any images. (And you can't add images which have not been uploaded to Wikipedia or the Commons to articles, because of copyright and vandalism concerns.) If you want to add the file Image:Czechguards.jpg to an article, the basic syntax is [[Image:Czechguards.jpg]]; if you just want to link to an image (for example, when referring to it in a talk page), it's [[:Image:Czechguards.jpg]]. For more details, see the image use policy and manual of style. - Mike Rosoft 09:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

USS Iowa (BB-61)

Greatings. Allow me to welcome you here, and to state that I do hope you like the place and decide to stay. I am leaving this message here to inform you that two of the four tags you placed on the article USS Iowa (BB-61) have been removed by me after being certified as non-aplicable in the circumstances. They are {{copypaste}} and {{verylong}}. The article, as you sumerized, is nearly exactly copied from one source: the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, or DANFS for short. DANFS material has been flagged by the Wikipedia community for being to pro-US, and thus requiring a rewrite to comply with our Neutral Point Of View Policy, but by the same token DANFS material is an official publication of the United States Navy, and thus is automatically released into the Public Domain, thereby allowing the material to be copied and pasted here since copyright laws do not apply to it. On the issue of length: ordinarily the "verylong" template would only be used to call attention to an article that exceedes about 70 kilobytes of information, but at present Iowa is well within length requirements becuase there is no warning bar that appers at the top to warn editers of the size of the article (by comparison, our World War II article is surrently at 154 kilobytes, and the message there advise editers to place new material elsewhere if at all possible). More information about the accepted length of articles can be found at WP:LENGTH, if you would like read up on this. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Weird IP and being-blocked issues

I'm going to need more information (the IP address that Wikipedia sees when you try to edit while logged out) in order to help you. This IP is probably shared among multiple computers if you see frequent vandalism from it. -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

The easiest way to see your IP address is to log out from Wikipedia, then visit the Special:MyTalk page. Your IP address is shown as the page title. That's how I do it myself ;) -- lucasbfr ^talk 20:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying earlier. In fact due to the limited number of IPs on the internet (255*255*255*255), they had to create IP ranges that can be used in private areas (such are your house). 192.168.x.y is one of these IP ranges. That means that your computer is in 192.168.2.100 at home, but when it comes outside on the Internet, it shares 218.186.13.1 with many other people (think of it as a room number and a postal address). Your ISP probably uses 218.186.13.1 for many of its clients, and we have unfortunately no way to differentiate you all (you all come from the same house). My opinion: don't worry about it :) -- lucasbfr ^talk 11:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Cool things at the top of your User Talk page

Hehe, yeah my templates are a bit hidden ;) {{busy}} is indeed what you're looking for! And <nowiki></nowiki> is how you prevent the software to interpret what you type :) It works for [[Links]] too :). I hope this helps! -- lucasbfr ^talk 15:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :)

File:Ngee Ann Secondary undergoing PRIME 16 November 2007.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:NgeeAnnSecondarySchool-renovation-20071116.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:NgeeAnnSecondarySchool-renovation-20071116.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 17:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
