Previous help requests

{{helpme}} Please see my request for help hereunder. An operator nullified it but I have not had an answer to my request for help. Wood200 (talk) 21:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I would like to upload a new image of Gerald Mohr which is in the public domain, but I can't see how to substitute the image which I put there in November 2006 for the one I would now like to be displayed in its place. Please advise how to swap these pictures.

One of your operators, Michelle Kinney, uploaded a photo of mine to Gerald Mohr's Wiki page. Whilst I can see the photo on my office computer, it is not displayed on my home computer. I've tried purging, as recommended on your help pages, but to no avail. Should I re-upload the photo myself to the photobox?

Hi the photo is here at Image:Gerald Mohr Promo Photo Autographed.jpg, and it appears in the article. The problem is solely with your home computer, probably with the cache. See WP:CACHE. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 00:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing there's something in the photo that causes your computer to not display it correctly. I've downloaded and re-uploaded the photo to maybe remove that. Please clear your cache again and have another look at the article. Tra (Talk) 23:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

You could try uploading it again, to see if that works. Use this link to upload it so that your copy is given the same name and automatically appears in the article. Tra (Talk) 23:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I can see it. I'm sure it's a problem with your computer. Are there any other images on Wikipedia that don't display correctly? Tra (Talk) 22:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I've uploaded a copy of the image to another server here. Can you see it there? Tra (Talk) 22:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

What browser are you using? If you're using Internet Explorer on Windows XP, try right clicking the file you have saved on your hard drive, go to Open With > Choose program > Internet Explorer > OK. Does the file come up? Tra (Talk) 22:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

What about this link? Does the image come up? Tra (Talk) 23:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

This is really baffling me... it seems the image will appear when accessed through IE on your computer, but not over the Internet. As a last resort, you might want to try going to the Gerald Mohr article again and pressing Ctrl+F5 again but that's all I can really think of. Tra (Talk) 23:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I did add some links earlier. I also removed a few words such as 'prestigious' since they are a bit subjective and Wikipedia articles should be written to a neutral point of view. The reason why your changes came up immediately and not the images is because images are handled slightly differently to the rest of the article. As for finding additional help, I'd suggest seeing if there's anyone you know who is experienced in computers who can help you, since the problem seems localised to your computer. Tra (Talk) 23:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd disagree with you, there. The problem is that one person might look at the photo and think he is 'charming' whilst someone else may say he played the role terribly. You mentioned how some books you have use the word 'prestigious'. What is acceptable is to say 'book x described the theatre company as prestigious', which shows that you are not expressing an opinion, merely describing someone else's opinion. This section of WP:NPOV describes what I'm trying to say, in a nutshell.

As for the infobox, it's displaying correctly to me. You could try removing and re-adding it but I doubt that would make much diference. Tra (Talk) 00:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 Done - As far as I can see, the user's question has been answered, so I'm nullifying the template. If you still need help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page or use the {{helpme}} template on your talk page again. Thanks, cmelbye (^t/_c) 21:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I also can't tell what more you need an answer to. If you're still having technical issues, you may want to report them to the tech village pump, where the people checking posts will have a better idea of what's going on and/or how to fix it. If you have a new question, you can add another helpme template. Thanks! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Interlanguage links

Hi, you don't need to add that internal links section to the Gerald Mohr article. The link to the Swedish language version is already in the sidebar, under 'other languages'. Tra (Talk) 22:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Gerald Mohr infobox

I've fixed it. Basically, the infobox parameters have to be entered in exactly the right way, so the parameter 'spouse' had to be used instead of 'spouse(s)'. Template:Infobox actor tells you how they can be entered correctly. I also removed the information about his son, since that's not supposed to be in the 'spouse' section of the infobox. If that information is important to his role as an actor, it might be able to be put into the body of the article somewhere. Tra (Talk) 22:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Apologies - was trying to send it to the Sandbox! Please delete this photo. I've been having problems with my infobox not showing this image although it is displayed on other computers and was attempting to resolve the problem. Wood200 23:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

We see you. I am removing one of your tags, you only need one. Mww113 (talk) (Report a mistake!) 22:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Replacing a Picture

Hi, in response to the message that you left on my talk page, to replace a picture that is already uploaded, upload a new image with the name of the old image, and it will be replaced. If you still have more questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. Thanks, cmelbye (^t/_c) 19:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Advertising in general is not okay, you're talking about something in articles, not selling it. --cmelbye (^t/_c) 23:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:BILLY-GCAC-2a.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:BILLY-GCAC-2a.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 00:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Help re. copyright

{{helpme}} Please advise how I amend the copyright of the Billy Raymond photo. Billy sent it to me for use on his Wikipedia site. I also run his website. He has granted me the right to use this image. I can't see how to add any information onto the page other than what is already there. Wood200 (talk)

Hi there. I've moved this to the end; please post new things at the end of talk pages.

We need him to give us permission. We need proof. Therefore, please get him to send an email with the text that is in user:chzz/help/myboilerplate, with the picture attached, to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Make sure he fills in his name, and the date, and attaches the photo. Then wait a few days. Please let me know when that email has been sent, and I'll check up on it. I'll need to know what is in the subject line, or the address it came from, so I can find it. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

{{talkback}}|Drilnoth It looks like Chzz is actually handling this... just do what he said, and it should all be OK. I hadn't seen his post before responding, so what I've posted at my talk page is probably not real relevant anymore. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 Doing... Doing it right now; more soon, cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

All sorted out. If you look at File:BILLY-GCAC-2a.jpg now, you'll see that an OTRS 'ticket number' has been added. That means we have the permission on file, so the copyright status is now OK. Let me know if you need any further help. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 Done

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
