User talk:Staecker/Archive 4: Difference between revisions

Your bot copied the file info from a deleted duplicate to the original image. Trouble is that it overwrote the copyright info, which clearly stated it was an image under free licence from the uploader. That caused a near heart attack amongst the Harry Potter editors as this was the first free image of J.K. Rowling to be found in nearly 9 months of looking! The image is [[:Image:Jk-rowling-crop.JPG]] and the deleted duplicate was [[:Image:Jk-crop.JPG]]. Perhaps you can modify your bot so that, when copying file info for files under different licences, it appended data instead of overwriting the licence? Thanks. <b>[[User:AulaTPN|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#89f;">A</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#78e;">u</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#67d;">l</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#56c;">a</fontspan>]][[User talk:AulaTPN|^{<fontspan colorstyle="color:#45b;">T</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#34a;">P</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#239;">N</fontspan>}]]</b> 17:58, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

::&lt;embarrassed&gt;Gosh, you're absolutely right - I completely missed the fact that the multilicence template was still there after your bot's edit. Please accept my apologies - tonight is my night for screwing up it seems.&lt;/embarrassed&gt; <b>[[User:AulaTPN|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#89f;">A</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#78e;">u</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#67d;">l</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#56c;">a</fontspan>]][[User talk:AulaTPN|^{<fontspan colorstyle="color:#45b;">T</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#34a;">P</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#239;">N</fontspan>}]]</b> 23:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm new to wikipedia editing and contributing, and i would like to know how you put your uploaded picture on an article on wikipedia. {{<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Smackboy69|Smackboy69}}]] ([[User talk:Smackboy69|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Smackboy69|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

Hey, sorry to trouble you, but your bot just made an edit to a talk page that dleted my previous comment informing them they were blocked forever. In this instance, I simpy used rollback since it didn't seem important for them to know if they were blocked anyway, and it did no harm, but it's a potential problem somewhere and I thougt you should be aware.
