Welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you enjoy it here.

I'm not sure if you remember, but you did an interview on my and my wife's radio show on KUCI in Irvine, CA a bunch of years ago now. Was good to have you, and good to see you here as well. Feel free to ask any questions about this crazy place. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 06:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dino Images

Hello! Thank you for uploading dinosaur images to wikipedia! But, if there is no reason to do otherwise, please upload them directly to wikipedia commons so they can be used on other wikipedias either. --Dudo2 14:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm the self proclaimed head of the wikiproject Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs! I'd like to thank you for joining the project & hope you have a great time during your stay. To tell the truth, there was a need for a girl in the project! Anyway, see the task section on the project page for a list of open tasks & feel free to post on the talk page or slap one of our templates on your user page. If you have any questions, ask me or anyone else (but mainly me.... muahaahaha!). Hope you have a great time on the project. Spawn Man 07:21, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image licensing

Hi, I'm pretty sure AMNH doesn't want to put images like Image:Sauropelta1.jpg under GFDL, which is carefully written to allow profitmaking ventures. (For instance, people want to make printed versions of WP and sell them.) You'll need to ask them for a specific license, so that the legal bases are all covered.

WikiProject Dinosaurs

Hi GreyGirlBeast!

There's currently less than 100 dinosaurs left on the

Missing dinosaur page
. We've come a long way! I was thinking that since there's just under 100 dinosaurs left, and since there are 25 of us signed on for the project, if we each wrote about four articles, we'd be done! Well, not "done", obviously, as many of the articles are in need of expansion. But then we could focus on expansion and other things.

You could take, say, Omnivoropteryx, Ornithomimoides, Orthogoniosaurus, and Orthomerus.

It's just an idea, of course, and you're of course not obligated and can do whatever you like; I just figured I'd mention the idea, and see if you were interested. No harm, right?

Take care, --Firsfron 06:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back from WikiBreak!

Your recent work on Erectopus is most welcome, and was much needed. Your valued contributions lend a lot of creedence to our project, and to Wikipedia itself. Thanks, Greygirlbeast. For your dedicated work on WP, I'm giving you this:

Dinosaur images

Hey Greygirlbeast! I'm not sure you're even aware, but there's a dinosaur image review page here. I guess a lot of the WP:Dinosaurs participants don't even know about it, and I figured I'd let you know: people are practically begging for feedback and suggestions there, and not getting a whole lot. Your advice and ideas, I feel, would be greatly appreciated, and a big help. The advice of a professional vertebrate paleontologist? Priceless. We've got a thousand dinosaur pages with no illustrations, and several photographers and a professional illustrator, all with no real feedback. Helllllp!--Firsfron of Ronchester 08:37, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aigialosaurs

Hi - I have taken the plunge and filled a red link, that has been hanging around on

Aigialosaur). However, I was fairly well out of my depth and wondered if you could sort it for me. In particular, I note that WP has very few entries that mention aigialosaurs. It appears to be absent from all the classification trees or lists that I have located, under various different reptiles. I assumed you would have some expertise in this area.

speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2].

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file.

File source problem with File:NarStanding.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:NarStanding.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the

image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

File permission problem with File:User portrait of Greygirlbeast.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:User portrait of Greygirlbeast.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Rob13Talk 15:06, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
