copyright issue
[edit]Hi Chilepine. Could you have a look at your edit on Patterdale Terrier please? The majority of the text you added appears to be copied from rarebreed.com and so, unless you are the original author, this might be a copyright problem. Text added to Wikipedia must be your own work or free from copyright. Please can you let me know the situation in this case? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 22:49, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi Chilepine - your addition of Rhus verniciflua is a bit of a tricky one; it is already included under the segregate genus Toxicodendron. Personally, I think Toxicodendron should be incorporated within Rhus (as it is not a genetically distinct genus), but I'm not too sure how well it would go down. It would also mean an awful lot of link editing on various other pages! Any thoughts yourself? - MPF 11:36, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Author of photos?
[edit]Hi Chilepine,
You've uploaded some marvelous photos! It looks like you're quite into hiking. The only problem is, some of them don't indicate who actually took the picture. I retagged Image:Hippeastrum.JPG as {{PD-self}} under the assumption that you took it, but there are others. If you like, I could retag them for you; just let me know.
Also, it looks like you've reduced the resolution of the images. If you still have the original high-resolution versions, it would be wonderful if you could upload them. Higher resolution is always better.
Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 01:10, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Hello Dbenbenn
- I'm glad you like the photos. The link 'PD-link' I have used does say it is released by the creator who is myself. I usually take images in 640 by 480 pixel resolution. If I take them in a high resolution I can only get a handful on the memory card. I may try taking a few high resolution images and upload them some time to see the benefits.
- cheers Chilepine 15:32, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I think the main benefit would be for a hypothetical print edition of Wikipedia. Not really a big deal.
- I guess it's a minor point, but the image description pages don't actually say that you are the creator. Is it okay if I add "This photograph was taken by User:Chilepine" to the ones that use PD-link, just to make it totally clear?
- By the way, are you aware of the Wikimedia Commons? It's a sister project specifically for images. The benefit of putting images at the Commons is that all Wikipedias can use them. For example, da:Venus-Fluefanger (Dionaea muscipula) could use your photo of a Venus Flytrap. dbenbenn | talk 16:27, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for telling me about Wikimedia Commons. I looked at it and it looks interesting. Also if you still want to change my copyright tags that is fine and would you use the PD-user|Chilepine tag now please. It is on Image:Johnson's Blue.jpg

Image Tagging Image:View of Wastwater from side of Great Gable.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:View of Wastwater from side of Great Gable.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Could you add a tag to let us know its copyright status? (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Nv8200p 18:28, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! I noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Plants. Therefore you may be interested in supporting the nomination of Cactus to the Article Improvement Drive. There are woefully few plant articles among the featured articles. Furthermore, Cactus definitely deserves a better article. this is our chance! If you agree, you can suppost the nomination at the AID page. --Chino 05:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 00:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)|}
Your account will be renamed[edit]Hello, The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information. Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Chilepine. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chilepine~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed. Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in. Sorry for the inconvenience. Yours, Renamed[edit]This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) Hi, ArbCom 2017 election voter message[edit] Hello, Chilepine~enwiki.
