My guestbook

Hi Bsoyka, nice to see you around. ϢereSpielChequers 20:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC) Thanks for your help today with the typo I found which needed editing. I did look around for some sort of edit on the page itself, and didn't see it, but will look harder next time.

Question from PolarRailfan7068 (00:50, 15 November 2024)

Dear Mentor, I have a brief inquiry. If an individual were to substitute an image with another that is a drawing created by a different artist, and that individual possesses the necessary permissions and is aware of the copyright implications, is it possible for the new image to lack any associated files, given that it is a drawing? --PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 00:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@PolarRailfan7068: Hey there! You raise a really vague question, and I'm hesitant to give you a definite answer, especially with copyright issues involved. Can you be a bit more specific? Bsoyka (t • c • g) 15:09, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, what I'm asking if any image has to have a file. Like, I want to replace this image on the Titanic page. specifically The image with the side view of the ship with this one from a website called Ocean liner Designs. [1] But I want to know from the person who did the drawing if I can use a image of the drawing to replace the current image. I already sent a Email asking him last week but he hasn't responded yet. What i'm trying to say if I can use an image of a drawing but don't show files since it's a drawing. If I sound stupid I'm sorry. PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 21:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@PolarRailfan7068: I don't think this idea will work out. First of all, we don't really make a distinction between "images" and "files," so I'm not sure what you're asking there. But also, I'm pretty confident in saying we won't get permission to use that drawing. The website has it watermarked and is making a significant profit from the sales—I cannot envision them freely licensing the image for anyone to use, which Wikipedia requires. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 04:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Ok, Thanks for letting me know sorry if this was a mess. I just started a account and I'm only 13 so sorry so I have no idea how copy right works. PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 22:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@PolarRailfan7068: No problem at all! I just advise that you don't play around too much with images until you're more familiar with the rules and laws around them. Happy editing Bsoyka (t • c • g) 22:48, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from PolarRailfan7068 (23:36, 19 November 2024)

Hello Mentor, I just submitted a draft for a page called Battle For Dream Island and I letted them know that it is a Rough Draft and is not final. Could you please help with with adding references and images please. whenever you can. --PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 23:36, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@PolarRailfan7068: Hey again! I hate to bear the bad news, but we intentionally don't have an article about BFDI, and attempts to create one have been deleted many dozens of times. I'm going to point you toward WP:BFDI for information on why, but the main reason is the show doesn't meet our notability requirements. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 23:51, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

oh, well, thank you for the information anyway i'll wont be bothering you so bye PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 00:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Priscilla Anne VanBuskirk on List of Brigham Young University alumni (02:21, 21 November 2024)

to find a BYU alumna who was an 18 year old missionary and 1975. His name is Ronald Lemmon. He was from Provo Utah and went to BYU and wanted to become a doctor. Can you find him for me? He would probably be Dr. Ronald Leman MDBYU graduate from the class of 1974. --Priscilla Anne VanBuskirk (talk) 02:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Priscilla Anne VanBuskirk: Hey there! I'm available to answer questions about contributing to Wikipedia. For this one, you'll be better off using Google or our reference desk page. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sharonzohar18 (10:18, 22 November 2024)

Hi. Thank you for helping me. I would like to start editing very very basically till I get more confidence. How do I find pages that only need spelling or grammar corrections? --Sharonzohar18 (talk) 10:18, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sharonzohar18: Hey there! I think Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit is the page you're looking for. Happy editing! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 15:57, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Question

Hello, my friend! I know we are getting into Thanksgiving vacation time, so no hurry on this, but I'm wondering if you have access to a version of this book by Leena Ahtola-Moorhouse. I believe it is only available in Finnish or Swedish, which is fine, but I'm looking for the single page catalogue entry for Self-Portrait, which is known as either Omakuva or Självporträtt, respectively. I think it's unlikely you will have access to these works, but I thought I would ask in the rare event that you do. Thanks for everything. Viriditas (talk) 23:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Viriditas: Hey! I've requested a copy through my library. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the folks in my interlibrary loan department are real-life magicians. I'm in a Big Ten Academic Alliance school, so their reach spreads pretty far. We'll see what they can do on this one! I'll be heading out of town for Thanksgiving to see family, so if it arrives after 11/27, it'll wait at my library until 12/2. I'll pin this section and let you know when they get back to me with some news. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 03:11, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ntekops on User:Ntekops/sandbox (15:15, 25 November 2024)

Good day mentor please check my sandbox if there is any corrections to be made on the new page article --Ntekops (talk) 15:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@Ntekops: Hey there. That draft doesn't demonstrate that Ntekob (who I assume is you) meets our notability requirements. Furthermore, please see our page on why an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. I advise you to work on contributing to Wikipedia in some way other than writing about yourself or people close to you. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 15:27, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
