HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Insta ntnood 23:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Moff Tarkin

I reverted your move/rename of this article. As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions, the most common, well-known name should be the article title. Besides, the Star Wars web site still uses "Grand Moff Tarkin" [1]. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 09:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no problem. ;) Chris1219 09:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Narnia aslan.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Narnia aslan.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. CLW 16:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me. I have edited the article, see if it's OK. Chris1219 11:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: Disney films.

Hi, you're doing good work on a lot of the Disney articles. However, I don't think the original theatrical posters ahould be replaced with reissue posters, if the originals are already present. It's probably best to use originals for all of the infoboxes, and use reissue posters as added images. --FuriousFreddy 23:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me. I just thought the re-release posters look prettier than the old ones, so I put them in the infobox. But now I think you're right; I'll now work on making all articles to have the original theatrical posters. Chris1219 03:05, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I figured that's why you chose them. They're fine as additional images placed within the article, but using the originals as the infobox images helps put the articles into their proper historical context (in other words, helps readers unserstand immediately offhand that the older Disney movies are indeed old). --FuriousFreddy 22:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Before "blanking" a template, you have to be sure that no pages still include it. In this case The Wild still does. -- Curps 07:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me, I just missed that one out. Chris1219

Thanks for fixing the Pete's dragon thing, man. I'm a big Disney fan, and the animated features canon on wikipedia has been a really cool thing to have. Its people like you that have kept it accurate and up to date, so thanks.

Thank you, it's my pleasure to improve articles related to something I love, in this case Disney. :) Chris1219 04:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries & "minor"

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FPC/Lake Barrine

Hi Chris1219. Would you mind withdrawing your featured picture candidate, Image:Lakebarrinephoto.jpg? It will surely not be promoted, and we'd like to try to reduce the number of currently active nominations. If you choose to withdraw it, please move the nomination into the Nominations older than 14 days, the maximum voting period, decision time! section at the bottom and leave a note. Thanks! ~MDD 46 96 15:09, 8 April 2006 (UTC

Keep references section

Hi, I saw that you delete the references section of The_Lion_King_II:_Simba's_Pride.

According to the Wikipedia policies and guidelines, the reference section is required. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Embedded_HTML_links

I'm going to add the references section again with the required information. Keep up the good work though!

Fair use rationale for Image:Yodalightning.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Yodalightning.jpg. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images 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. Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 22:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toy story 3

Why did you put the Toy Story 3 picture back up? It is no longer a valid picture as the plot with Buzz Lightyear being recalled is no longer taking place. It is a different project than the image shows (having EVERYTHING scrapped and taken over by Pixar instead of Disney) making the picture completely irrelevent. Unless you have a valid reason for the picture in the movie infobox (beside aesthetic) it needs to be removed. Thanks! Dark jedi requiem 05:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put it back because that's the only available image related to the film currently. Hmm... yeah, I guess it's not too appropriate for the infobox. I think I'll put it somewhere in the article then (so to be more informative). :) Chris1219 08:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the place you put it makes the most sense encyclopedically (is this a real word?). Thanks. Dark jedi requiem 22:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please use an edit summary

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! --Starionwolf 17:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
