User talk:Free Citizen
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.
You might find these pages useful:
You can always experiment in the sandbox.
If you like, you can introduce yourself at the new user log, or write something about yourself on your user page.
One more thing: if you leave a note on any kind of discussion page it's always helpful to sign your post with four tildes (~~~~), which is automatically converted to your username and the date and time. Don't do this in articles themselves though as they are not 'owned' by any particular contributor.
If you have any questions, see help, leave a question at the help desk, or feel free to drop me a line on my talk page.
Thanks again and happy editing!

I really don't understand what your problem is. The Wikisource text is linked at the top and the bottom of the page, so you can't miss it. "Wikisource has original text related to this article" - how much clearer do you want it to be? In any case, the Manual of style suggests that you shouldn't place external links nilly-willy anywhere - if you really want to explicitly link to it, then it must go in the external links section at the bottom of the page, which, not surprisingly already has a link to the full text. I won't revert you this time due to WP:3RR, but you should really have a think about this. enochlau (talk) 13:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
The question really should be, What is your problem? It is you not I that have a problem with that link being put there. It is put there because it is most appropriate there and not nilly-willy anywhere. Although the title of that sub-heading is Content but it is not the actual content of the Law but interpretations of it. Readers will want to verify its accuracy and where better to put the reference other than at the end of that sub-section? Yes, the same paged is actually linked by the Wikisource notice but the title does not give any hint that it is the full text of the law. Depending on browsing habits, not everyone will click on it. The External links? So many links and so little time. Most netizens won't explore them and to have it listed half way down the list doesn't make it more visible. I am glad that you respect the 3 revert rule but you seem ignorant of good netiquette. Please note that this site is a wiki, meaning anyone can edit. No permission or approval is required to add anything in any form that is valid to the article. Its inclusion however, may be challenged. That is what the discussion page is for. Removing other user's contribution without good reason is like slapping a hand for no good reason. I don't even let my spouse do that. It is rude and bad manners. Since it annoys you so much to see a link too many, I will move the one under External links to where it is most relevant. Since this link and that of Wikisource is not the same, I trust you have nothing to object. (Free Citizen 18:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)).
- At the same time, Wikipedia pages need to be neat and ordered, and what's what the Manual of Style is for. Consistency is very important for maintaining a good looking website, and that link just doesn't belong there. How about moving that Wikisource box from the top of the page into that section to address your concern that the full text should be linked to from the section in which Content is discussed. enochlau (talk) 23:01, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for your understanding. However, I believe the Manual of Style is only a guide and not carved in stone. I do agree we should try to adhere to it as much as possible for consistency in layout. Yet, I do not think having that link positioned there breaks the style badly. I still maintain that is the best place to put it. The link title explicitly tells what it is. The Wikisource notice (box) does not. You will notice that the box actually appears twice. One at the top and another in the External Link. The latter may be removed. (Free Citizen 10:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)).

Image copyright problem with Image:Lsq01.jpg[edit]

Orphaned non-free media (File:PengDehuai.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:PengDehuai.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
