Kawerau
Hi - please dont keep adding stub templates to the Kawerau article. it is a lot bigger than a stub. if you think parts of it should be expanded then you can use a {{expand}} template, but its already pretty big for an article on a place that size (its as big as the Rotorua article and bigger than the Taupo one!). or if you can, expand it further yourself!

Edits to Rotorua
Please keep NPOV on edits and include references if possible. - SimonLyall 12:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello from the Great White North. I think this edition is brilliant! It's a great pic: serious yet appropriate given its subject matter, yet mildly laughable (when juxtaposed with the content in the adjacent paragraph). BTW: LL rocks. Thanks! :) E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 00:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure where you got the idea that images on news sites don't use copyrighted images. Most of them are copyrighted agency photos which aren't allowed. Regards Arniep 22:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Karl_urban_2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Karl_urban_2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 00:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 133 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Cinema of New Zealand
We don't usually link to the same article several times within a given page. In particular, linking to New Zealand from within Cinema of New Zealand doesn't help the viewer much, as they already know where New Zealand is if they are reading the article. Linking the first time New Zealand is mentioned is sufficient. Linking to an individual film or director multiple times is likely to be more useful, as it's more relevant to the text.-gadfium 08:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Karl-stuff.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Karl-stuff.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Arniep 19:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
