Images: go to "Upload file" (Down & left) & do what it says.   ^Contribs_Talk 11:39, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

(see the help file, but it makes it seem harder than it is - sorry!)   ^Contribs_Talk 11:48, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Hi, have a little orange message and a crude example of an image in a page at the same time. :-)--Bob^{bing up} 11:51, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Hey! I guess those mongs & window lickers at CP have an advantage over me after all!--Crookedmouth 12:09, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Where are you experiencing problems? What exactly are you trying to do?--Bob^{bing up} 12:11, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

You are on your way to wikiMasterhood.--Bob^{bing up} 12:13, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

What I'm trying to do is cook dinner for the fambly AND learn to edit a wiki for the first time ever! I think the potatoes are ready. Back soon --Crookedmouth 12:15, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

What I'm trying to do redux. Actually, now I'm finally here on a wiki, I don't know what I want to do. What I was trying to do was this...

 Did it work? 

Back of the net! Smell my cheese!

By the way, thanks Susan, Bob and AK for such prompt, helpful(ish) & welcoming welcomesCrookedmouth 13:03, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Welcome to RW, Crookedmouth. Please don't mind the occasional vandals. --AK 12:32, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

It worked!!! - but did you want it on your user page?--Bob^{bing up} 13:09, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Bear with me mate. I'm getting there. Crookedmouth 13:10, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Fluffer

I gave you some suggestions on your fluffer article.--Bob^{bing up} 07:22, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

Thanks awfully. I think I'll make this my play article for the time being & see what I can do with it. Crookedmouth 07:39, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

Ok, but one editor has suggested moving it to "fun" - that is our namespace for, well fun, less serious things. If you are going to be doing experiments and things it might be best to put it there. See Help:Namespace for a bit of info on namespaces. It is possible that, as a new user, you do not yet have pagemove rights. If you do not have these rights and you would like the page moved then please ask me or any other established user who seems to be active. Cheers. :-) --Bob^{bing up} 07:48, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

ATUIN

Do you have the website you got the pic from? --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 14:37, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

It's on http://www.squidoo.com/herbies-place but there are bigger versions elsewhere... Crookedmouth 14:43, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

Well yeah, but it's always safer to get the actual site. So we don't get sued --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 14:45, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

The source can claim "Fair Use" as it's on an article about TP - we can't.   ^Contribs_Talk 14:51, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

We've got good security and they can't straight up sue us Unless it's JK Rowling, just tell us to get rid of it. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 14:53, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

The point is: we can't lambast CP for their (many) copy vios if we're doing the same thing!   ^Contribs_Talk 14:56, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

So I've got to delete it? Crookedmouth 16:09, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

No, not at all. Only if they said so. By they, I mean the copyright owners of the image, which isn't likely as we've attributed the image to a source, which uses "fair use". Just remember, keep the exact url of the image and put it in the summary like "Found it at www.monkeyface.com/kghiguy" or something like that. You did fine, just remember the url. I put it on the image summary already. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker}

Actually you ought to take a course in Copyright. Fair use applies to the original use & doesn't permit further use. Copyright is for the protection of the creations of artists, authors, musicians etc. As a person who has published (and therefore copyrighted) stuff, I feel quite strongly about this. Have you read what it says under the edit box (DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!)? Using someone's original work for our own amusement without consent is wrong. The picture in question is small enough and almost unrecognisable as the original (the largest I can find is 800 x 600) so probably not worth bothering about. But don't get carried away with copying please.   ^Contribs_Talk 16:37, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

Okay, listen to her, not me. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 16:42, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

My bad. Crookedmouth 02:47, 4 July 2008 (EDT)
