Help needed

I am a beginner and trying to start a new page by transcluding an existing similar style page. How do you edit a transcluded page? If this is not possible - are there generic templates for whole pages (example: for an institution) that can just be handled as "fill in the blank"? RandomMD (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Your best bet would be finding a page with a similar subject and categories that you like the layout of and copying the content from it into your scratchpad where you can modify it. There are no generic templates which will define an entire page, rather the pages are made up by adding various appropriate templates. Mfield (talk) 22:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Doing it under the guidance of the relevant Wikiproject would be a good idea as the folks that are active in the project will be best placed to advise on which templates and styles fit in with the rest of the project. What is the page/subject you are working on? Mfield (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

You might like to read the Manual of Style for an article's structure. Alternatively, you might want to take a look at infoboxes. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I have created the article Richmond Hospital which didn't exist before. Now when I go to other sites and try and link the Richmond Hospital in someone's list (for example on the Hospitals in Canada article) it doesn't work , just says "no such page exists" even though it does! What to do?

Wikipedia is case-sensitive. If you are adding Richmond Hospital it won't work, because the article is at Richmond hospital. However, there's another issue: you created the article in your userspace, then moved it by cut-and-paste. We can't do that here, because then all the history is lost. I'm going to do the following:

1. Move the article from your userspace to Richmond Hospital
2. Have an admin merge the history of Richmond hospital with the proper article
3. Create a redirect from Richmond hospital to the proper article.

Disputed fair use rationale for File:RichmondEDentrance.jpg}

Thank you for uploading File:RichmondEDentrance.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

File copyright problem with File:Richmond Hospital ED Entrance.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Richmond Hospital ED Entrance.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 13:20, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Michael C. Fox.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Michael C. Fox.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:38, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
