License tagging for Image:FourShores.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:FourShores.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

...On the Radio (Remember the Days)

edit

Your recent contribution(s) to the Wikipedia article ...On the Radio (Remember the Days) are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 13:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Joshua Tree and other U2 albums...

edit

Hello there. THanks for your contribution to the Joshua Tree article. Do you have a reliable source for the 30million figure provided? What about other U2 albums? I ask firstly because (a) everything in wikipedia needs to be verified and secondly (b) we are looking for reliable and current sales figures for other U2 albums. Anyway, hope you can help. kind regards and happy editing. Merbabu 08:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, little mistake from my side. It's more than 25 not 30 million. Here is published all time album chart, where The Joshua tree is in 17th place. Here in Wikipedia is said, that Appetite for Destruction (16th place) has sold more than 25 mio copies, but Supernatural (20th place) - over 25 mio too. So we can see, that The Joshua Tree has sold 25-30 million copies worldwide. According to that site and Wikipedia, sales of Achtung Baby should be close to 20 millions. -- Mrom 13:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's shot put

edit

Hi. The list you added is not complete, I am missing at least Miran Vodovnik. Can you provide a source? Thanks. --Tone 16:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

At first I added A group. B group, where is Vodovnik, I added later. :) --Mrom (talk) 16:57, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
I see :-) Huh, I didn't know this many athletes are competing. By the way, a source would still be appreciated, since the season and personal bests are not in the two present references. Cheers. --Tone 16:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK, I will add it now! :) -- Mrom (talk) 16:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Good job! By the way, when you have time, add the sources to the other disciplines, ok? Cheers. --Tone 17:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
