Stop a Page from being Redirected

{{helpme}} Since Batangas State University is currently a redirected page from Batangas State University ARASOF Nasugbu Campus, probably, I will name this upcoming article as Batangas State University Main Campus. Hey, is there a possible way to cancel the page from being redirected? Please leave a useful comment if you've read this section.

Actually I'm just planning to put this info at Wikipedia but because of this, I'm quite in trouble now. Kampfgruppe (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

You can delete the redirect by just editing the page with the new content and removing the #REDIRECT line. Cheers Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 13:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Help!

Hey guys, what particular label (e.g. my own work, a work from Flickr, a promotional photo etc) and license (e.g. GNU, GFDL, Public Domain etc.) must be put to an uploaded image which is from a cell phone or camera shots done by myself. Kampfgruppe (talk) 13:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

{{pd-self}} if you wish to give up all of the rights, {{cc-by-2.0}} if you want attribution, {{cc-by-sa-2.0}} if you want the image to only be used with that license and attribution, {{GFDL}} is a little more complicated (visit the link :D). Select your own work if it's your own work. Garden. 13:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all :) For any more help, ping me :D Garden. 13:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I Need a Reviewer, or a Volunteer

{{helpme}}

Please help to rate my newly modified article, Batangas State University. Please switch to the article and then proceed to its own talk page to rate the article's assessment scale. Thanks.

Hi there.. this isn't really what {{helpme}} is for. If you want the article to be reviewed, you should place a note on its talk page and/or the talkpages of any associated WikiProjects. You can also ask for a Peer Review here. [roux » x] 05:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Help!

{{helpme}}

Just asking, friends. Why my own article, San Jose Sico cannot be found on such internet search engines like Yahoo!, MSN and Google although the first creation of that article dates back I think last September, 2008? Also, what's the purpose of the checkbox: Watch this page? Does it have any connection to my first problem? Kindly explain it to me. Thanks!

For me your article shows up first in google; not sure why it doesn't for you. Watch this page just puts it on your watchlist, which tracks changes. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 12:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm really not sure, sorry. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 13:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Just Asking

{{helpme}}

How can we, Wikipedians search for... absolutely new users here in Wikipedia?

Hi Kampfgruppe, and thanks for your question. You may find a log of new users here. Special:Log deals with all logs on Wikipedia. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Welcoming

Hi Kampfgruppe. There's little point in welcoming users who have not made a single edit yet. It can actually be detrimental, as it is a pointless use of server resources and gets in the way of vandalfighters. About nine out of ten new accounts never make an edit anyway. Thanks. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ a sweet and tender hooligan 11:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

You have been putting welcome messages on the talk pages of editors who have just created accounts.

This is pointless - it just wastes Wikipedia bandwidth.

People hunting for vandals use the log you are using. Your welcomes make it difficult to see if vandals have been warned.

Of every 10 accounts created, 9 of them are never used. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ a sweet and tender hooligan 11:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

No Tagalog

Sorry Kampfgruppe, in the Philippines, I speak English, Ilocano, Lubuaganyen, Pasil, and Tinglayan, but not Tagalog. Gubernatoria (talk) 15:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kampfgruppe. In August, I was in Batangas City for a few hours in transit from Manila to Tablas Island. I had a few hours to wait for the ferry M/V Maria Xenia, so wandered around Batangas and took a few pics. You are the only person I know of in Batangas.

What's the Difference between .PNG images to .GIF images?

{{helpme}}

I uploaded an image with an extension name of .GIF (Image:Batangas City's Official Flag.gif) that links to Batangas City. Then, a certain bot here in Wikipedia cloned that image and changed the extension name to .PNG (Image:Batangas City's Official Flag.png). Now, Image:Batangas City's Official Flag.gif became an orphaned and needed to be provided a fair use rationale because it lost it links to Batangas City after being replaced by Image:Batangas City's Official Flag.png. So what's the reason for this? Are .PNG images referring to flags, logos and maps are suitable here in Wikipedia than those of the .GIF images? I need your help fellows.

Hi, Kampfgruppe, the reason why a bot change the image format because PNG is better than GIF, it reduce the size and that is preferred in WP:IUP#FORMAT. If the bot did not help you to speedy delete old image, you can do it by yourself. Thats all. --Aleenf1 12:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

It is simple, just place {{db-i1|OLDIMAGENAME}} and save it (dont add prefix "image" in front), admin will come to delete it. --Aleenf1 12:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, i saw a bot already tagged for speedy deletion, but you remove it, next time leave it on. Just go to revert your mistake. --Aleenf1 12:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Misspelling

{{helpme}}

Hello, Kampfgruppe, I have received your feedback on my entry and would like some clarification so I may make the entry stronger. First, I have just realized I accidentally entered my entry for Wes Lucus, and his name should be spelled Wes Lucas, with an a in his last name. How should I go about removing the entry from the misspelled entry and moving it to the correct place? Also, I didn't know there could be too many external links in an entry. How should I determine the number of links based on length?

 Done I have moved the article, the misspelled version will now redirect to the correct spelling. As for external links, WP:EL should be able to answer your questions. In the future, place the helpme on your talkpage, of if you have a specific question for an editor, then post on their talkpage without a helpme. --Terrillja _talk 16:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done It's done User:Information.relocation as User:Terrillja fixed it. Please go to your talk page. Kampfgruppe (talk) 09:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Maps

{{helpme}}

Hi fellows, what is the appropriate extension name for images referring to maps?

Hi there. The file extension will be whatever image format it was created in, such as jpg, png or svg. Is that what you mean? Maybe you can clarify so I can give you a better answer. Best regards. --Chasingsol^(talk) 11:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

The image type is determined by the program that creates it. With image editing programs, you often have a choice of format to save it in, whether that's a .jpg, a .png or something else. You would need to leave the file extension the same, otherwise it will not be readable when you upload it to Wikipedia. Wikipedia can accept several different file formats for images, and it will determine how to handle it based upon the file extension at the end, so you should be sure that it's correct. The best format for a map is .svg, but that's not really an image file, it is a description of how to draw it with lines and curves. Find a .svg that's been uploaded on Wikipedia, download it and open it with Notepad and you will see what I mean. The best quality image format is .png, then .jpg and lastly .gif. Best regards. --Chasingsol^(talk) 05:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Images from US Department of Defense

{{helpme}}

US Dept. of Defense instructed that all of their images are in public domain so if you want to reuse it, you will just credit the photographer or simply the Dept. of Defense. See http://www.defenselink.mil/multimedia/about.html. In case of this website, [1] where all of the images therein are from the US Dept. of Defense, can I upload them legally here in Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons)? Thanks. Kampfgruppe (talk) 06:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

If it's US Gov, it's public domain; in which case, you don't need to credit anyone. Credit is only required for the 'creative commons attribution' type licencing; this will be PD. You should, for reference, say where it came from. Because it's free, you should upload it to commons, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload

Follow the instructions there. If you need more help, use another helpme or talk to us live.  Chzz  ►  06:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

2 MB - 4 MB Photos for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons

{{helpme}} I am just asking if a 2 MB to 4 MB size-photos (images) are suitable to upload here in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Thanks. Kampfgruppe (talk) 18:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Should be fine. See, e.g., File:Acanthodoris_lutea_laying_eggs_1.jpg. Tim Song (talk) 19:01, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Anything up to 100Mb is fine; upload the highest quality version that you have - ie the originals.  Chzz  ►  19:09, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Please note, any 'free' images (ie pictures that anyone can use, for any purpose), belong on commons, so they can be used by all the Sister projects, ie other language Wikipedias, and Wiktionary, Wikiquote, etc etc. The only exceptions are the non-free images that qualify for 'fair use', such as company logos and things. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  10:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again Chzz! I'll remember those things. Kampfgruppe (talk) 13:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Please preview

The history of Deities of Philippine mythology is unreadable. Please use Preview and remember to fill out the edit summary every time. _R_ (talk) 17:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Non-free Image removal

{{helpme}} I'm just curious guys. I've uploaded a better replacement (Image:Batangas State University's Official Seal.jpg) for Image:BSU logo.jpg. I just want to remove the old version... so uh is that reasonable? Kampfgruppe (talk) 09:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd say it's reasonable. The old image was smaller but with more corruption and parts were not readable, so it can't serve the same purpose than your slightly larger image. Just replace all usage of the old image, make sure the new image has the appropriate fair-use rationale(s) for all articles it is used in and then tag the old image with {{subst:orfud}}.
