Linking
[edit source]G'day Mike, thought you might like to know that you can link to Wikipedia via internal links by prefixing the page name with "w:". See Help:Editing#Interwiki links for details. Webaware talk 01:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. I tried reading the instructions in Wikipedia:Help but didn't succeed. I'll give it another go. Mike Hayes 01:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Copying from Wikipedia
[edit source]G'day Mike, great work you're doing on the Cookbook. Please note, however, that if you want to base a module on something out of Wikipedia, or another Wiki project, you should request an import so that we can maintain the edit histories for the information as required under our licensing provisions. I've tagged a couple of your new articles as being copy-and-paste imports for now, but you need to go back and list them on WB:RFI so that an admin can bring across the edit history. thanks, Webaware talk 09:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I left a message on WB:RFI. However, I decided the arab-cuisine article is not suitable for the basis of a cookbook and so I have deleted all the content leaving only the title and indices. I will start writing it from scratch. Mike Hayes 16:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, mate. I hope you don't mind, but I edited the listing a little to make it clearer to whoever does the import. cheers, Webaware talk 00:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use images
[edit source]G'day Mike, when uploading images under the assumption of Fair Use, please tag them with the license tag {{fair use}} instead of the two non-existent templates you've been using. I'd appreciate it if you could go back over the images you've uploaded and fix that; I've already done some, but you keep uploading more with the old tags. cheers, Webaware talk 07:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Only with pleasure. Mike Hayes 19:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks mate, much appreciated. Webaware talk 06:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Image licensing
[edit source]G'day Mike, you can specify the license on your images more specifically by selecting one of the tags from this page. cheers, Webaware talk 01:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Cookbook
[edit source]I just wanted to let you know that I've been following along with your edits in the RC feed, and you're doing a great job. Each individual edit might be small, but they're adding up to something big. Good work! --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 16:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Image:Frangelico.jpg is missing a fair use rationale
[edit source] |
- Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I think there is only or maybe two without a fair use rationale. I'm only tagging them in the hope that some other kind soul will fix the rationale templates. They won't be deleted if they meet the fair use criteria. The tagging just provides a useful way of me finding them all again (i.e., providing a list of ones that need fixing) rather than a "fix it in 7 days or be deleted" warning. We're busy moving all the non-fair use media to Commons, which is the only reason this has come up now. Shame you lost interest thought, the idiot has probably gone now!

- Okay, I've fixed this one (there was only one) as it was easy because you provided the original source. If only everyone would do the same! Cheers. QU TalkQu 12:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
