{{helpme}}I've added footnotes and citations to this page which hopefully bring it up to Wikipedia standards - a quick look would be appreciated. thanks!

Image copyright problem with Image:RobinAnnGraham.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:RobinAnnGraham.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 07:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

After having dug around the media copyright questions page I discovered the correct copyright information for the image (pre-1978 public domain). LynnMaudlin (talk) 07:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Test page?

Hi there. I think you meant to create this page in your user space, not in the main article space. I've placed a copy for you in your user space at User:LynnMaudlin/FirstPage. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 06:09, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hm, the original seems to be deleted already, which should be fine, since you have the copy. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 06:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm just futzing around, playing with some of the formatting options, etc. (in my user page) - I thought the tabs created subpages (once I edit them, that is) of the user page? Perhaps not; now I'm confused! Thanks, in any case.LynnMaudlin (talk) 06:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I think the issue was that you had an extra space in the title. (Ie, "User Lynn...", rather than "User:Lynn..."). Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 23:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually working on fixing what I meant to be doing right now (good timing!) - my goal is to make the page you created my second page (a user subpage), displaying as user:LynnMaudlin/Mythellany (should that be a pipe or a slash? I'm not sure I really understand what pipes do... I confess to being one of those "oh, when I poke it, *this* happens" folks...) I was about to make the new name under "move" User:LynnMaudlin:Second Page|Mythellany. Perhaps I'll do some more reading first... (!!) - thanks - LynnMaudlin (talk) 00:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I think you want the slash. Pipes are usually used for arguments (like defining an alias in a wikilink, or specifying input for a template). Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 00:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you again. It's always a bit exciting for me to find editing information here on Wikipedia - but maybe it's not here? Is there a really good URL for how wiki language works, in terms of editing pages? Anyway, I made the move and changed the link and think the only redirect link is here in the talk pages (which I'll leave as useful history!). LynnMaudlin (talk) 00:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The photo is a "Bold & the Beautiful" promotional shot of Ronn Moss, provided by Ronn Moss.
